2. STRUCTURE 2.1 Production In 1996, there were four companies producing nitrogenous fertilizer. By 1998, they became five companies. This was due to the division of Talkha company (El-Nasr Company for Fertilizer and Chemical Industries) into two units, one under the same name, for the production of ammonium sulfate and nitrolin, while the other unit was renamed “El-Delta Company for Fertilizer and Chemical Industries”, and specialized in the production of urea and ammonium nitrate. During the same period, Abou Qir Co. expanded its operation by establishment of Abou Qir III, which started in production in 1998. The company has have plans for more expansion in Abou Qir IV, as indicated in Table 1.

One of these lines will be equipped to produce calcium ammonium nitrate according to demand, in addition to the ammonium nitrate. Nitrogen fertilizer production during the APRP period increased from 7.1 million tons (15.5% N. equivalent) of the different nitrogen fertilizer in 1995/1996 to 8.8 million tons in 2000/2001, as presented in Table-2. The increase in the production of nitrogenous fertilizer during the period 1995/96 to 2000/2001 is due to the establishment of Abou Qir III, which started production in 1998, with productive capacity of
600,000 tons/year of urea. Abou Qir IV is planned to start production in 2005 as a (free zone unit), with productive capacity of 600 tons / year of ammonium nitrate. If Abou Qir IV is completed, the total nitrogenous fertilizer produced by the Abou Qir Complex will reach 7.0 million tons (15.5 % N equivalent). The Egyptian Factory for Chemical Fertilizer is under establishment at Ain Sukhna in Suez governorat , as a private (free zone unit) by SAMAD MISR COMPANY, which will further add to the productive capacity of nitrogenous fertilizer. 4
