SCZONE secures $525M phosphate fertilizer complex

CAIRO - 21 April 2026: The SCZONE has announced a major new project by "Indorama Egypt for Fertilizers" in the Sokhna Industrial Zone.

The integrated industrial complex represents a total investment of $525 million, furthering the nation's industrial localization goals.

In a Tuesday report, the Cabinet Media Center detailed that the project will span 522,000 square meters, with an initial production capacity of 600,000 tons annually.

The facility will produce phosphate fertilizers and essential chemicals including ammonia, sulfur, potash, and urea.
