Garabogaz Fertilizer Plant

The plant, to be constructed in Garabogaz, northwest of the country along the Caspian Sea, will be the largest urea fertilizer plant in the country, with contracts amounting to some 1.3 billion US dollars. The complex will consist of an ammonia plant with production capacity of 2,000 ton per day and a urea plant with production capacity of 3,500 ton per day, as well as other related infrastructure and delivery facilities.  

Turkmenistan has had steady economic growth in recent years due to its natural gas reserves, the 4^th largest in the world. The Turkmen government is also actively seeking to enhance the value added component of natural gas products as well as expanding and diversifying exports and sales in the sector. The construction of this fertilizer plant is therefore consistent with that strategy as it will enable the increase of fertilizer exports to countries around the world in response to growing agricultural food production.
