Dangote Fertiliser Limited (DFL) has entered into a landmark partnership with Thyssenkrupp Uhde Fertiliser Technology, a subsidiary of Germany’s Thyssenkrupp Uhde, to deploy cutting-edge UFT Fluid Bed Granulation Technology in the construction of four new urea granulation units across Nigeria. The agreement marks a significant step toward expanding Dangote’s fertiliser production capacity and strengthening the country’s position as a major player in the global fertiliser market.

Jocomms Correspondent reports that the partnership will harness Thyssenkrupp’s advanced granulation technology—renowned for its efficiency, product quality, and environmental performance—to boost domestic production and support Nigeria’s agricultural sector. The new units are expected to complement the existing Dangote Fertiliser Plant, one of the largest in Africa, which already produces millions of tonnes of urea annually for both local consumption and export.

Industry experts say the collaboration underscores Nigeria’s growing commitment to industrial diversification and self-sufficiency in agricultural inputs. By adopting world-class technology and scaling up production, DFL aims to meet rising fertiliser demand, improve crop yields, and create new opportunities for export revenue. As construction plans move forward, observers are asking—could this partnership propel Nigeria into becoming the fertiliser powerhouse of Africa? Visit www.jocomms.com for more news.
