Fertiliser plant hits milestone million tonnes in Ca Mau

The Ca Mau fertiliser plant in the southernmost province of Ca Mau has officially welcomed its millionth tonne of urea fertiliser – an important milestone after nearly 16 months of operations.

A ceremony to honour the achievement was held at the Ca Mau Gas-Power-Fertiliser complex last Friday in the presence of Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai.

As the largest project operating in the Ca Mau Gas-Power-Fertiliser complex, the US$900 million plant has a designed annual output of 800,000 tonnes, which satisfies roughly 40 per cent of domestic fertiliser demand.

It has so far earned a total revenue of VND8 trillion ($380 million) and profits of VND1.6 trillion ($76 million).

Addressing the ceremony, Hai praised the plant for its achievements and lauded its officials and workers for their responsible working spirit.

This initial success has not only eased fertiliser shortages in Viet Nam, but also contributed to ensuring national food security and reinforcing the Ca Mau fertiliser trademark.

The Deputy PM said he hoped that with dynamism, creativity and an all-out effort, the staff of managers, engineers and workers would reap even greater successes in the future, improve its output and meet domestic standards.
