multibillion-shilling fertiliser factory in
Eldoret this week.
The President will open Toyota Tsusho
fertiliser factory as he embarks on his
tour of the North Rift.
The Sh103 billion fertiliser plant, the
first of its kind in Africa, will
manufacture 150,000 tonnes of
subsidised fertiliser annually.
In a press release on Saturday, Toyota
Tsusho Fertiliser Africa Ltd CEO Akira
Wada said the factory will start
operating immediately after the
commissioning on Thursday.
“Africa’s new factory is expected to

Kenya's New in-country fertilizer blending plant

Toyota Tsusho Fertilizers Africa Limited (TTFA) has called on the African Fertilizer and Agribusiness partnership (AFAP) to provide technical project management and market development skills that will bring to fruition a $3 million dollar (Kshs.303.0Mil) fertilizer blending plant in western Kenya. The project is part of Kenya’s ‘Vision 2030’ program that plans to transform the country into a newly industrialized middle-income country providing a high quality of life for all its citizens.

“The in-country fertilizer blending plant will help create competitive fertilizer markets in Kenya and its neighbours, and also target 500 000 small-scale farmers who will be able to access fertilizers closer to their locations,” Scarpone said.
TTFA will build a fertilizer blending plant with a capacity of 50 tons and hour and a target to produce a volume of 150 0000 tons of fertilizer by the 2018 season. Feasibility studies conducted in preparations for the blending plant predict that the blending plant will increase yields by 35% from the blended fertilizer. source: AFAP - AFAP and Toyota Tsusho partner to improve Kenya Fertilizer Markets

SIMPLICITY


From a process and operating viewpoint, bulk blending is much simpler than a chemical

granulation plant. There is considerably less equipment in a bulk blend plant and it

requires less expertise to operate and less maintenance to keep running Green Belt Fertiliser | Africa Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) . Whereas, a

chemical granulation plant requires equipment designed to deal with chemical reactions

and precise metering; a bulk blend plant only requires a precise scale system and

efficient mixer to ensure the production of a good product.

Bulk blending has become popular as a method by which a local plant can provide


varying fertilizer grades to satisfy the specific plant needs of the individual farmers with

relatively simple and inexpensive equipment. The granular materials produced by the

large manufacturer are shipped in bulk to the plants that generally provide the finished

N.P.K. product to their customers in bags.

The fertiliser plant in Eldoret town will sell
its first batch in August.
Agriculture CS Willy Bett yesterday said this
will enhance productivity and reduce the Sh3
billion cost of fertiliser importation every
year. “In August, fertiliser will be available
for the short rainy season for farmers within
the vicinity of the plant, but the optimum
production will be achieved in the next
planting season,” Bett said.
He spoke at the official opening of the third
Agritec Africa exhibition at the KICC. Bett
said the fertiliser used in Kenya is imported
from Russia and other parts of the world, and
though Kenya does not have the raw material
to manufacture the product, the plant will
address some importation logistics.
“The plant in Eldoret is a blending plant,
which means most of the raw material will
still have to be imported, but this will reduce
the cost of fertiliser,” the CS said.
 
nomasana n Kafrican, yaani Ferrostaal wanaanza mradi wa largest fertilizer plant in Africa wakishirikiana na Danish na Pakistan firms. Unaweza kutembelea website yao kuona!
 
Hata pipeline ya Uganda mlianza kuwika hivihivi, mkaishia kunyang'anywa na sasa South Sudan ina-join! Na reli pia tumewanyang'anya Rwanda, Burundi na Uganda.

Hii fertilizer plant mnayopigia kelele itakuwa ngumu ku-compete na ya Ferrostaal+Topsoe+Fauji maana hamna gas itabidi mu-import wakati Tanzania ipo. Ukiachia mbali mradi wa minjigu na ule wa kampuni ya Norway yenye largest fertilizer depot in EA!
 
UPDATE 1-Tanzania to start building $3 bln fertiliser plant this year

DAR ES SALAAM May 20 (Reuters) - Tanzania plans to start work this year on a $3 billion fertiliser plant, which it said on Friday will be Africa's largest, as part of an effort to increase its agricultural production.

The factory, which Tanzania is building along with a consortium from Germany, Denmark and Pakistan, will use natural gas to produce fertiliser, the president's office said.

"The plant, which will become Africa's biggest fertiliser producer, will have a capacity of producing 3,800 tonnes per day," it said in a statement.

"The factory is expected to create more than 5,000 jobs and its investment will cost $3 billion." the statement said.

Tanzania currently imports most of its fertiliser for crops including coffee, sugar and maize.

Officials said the state-run Tanzania Petroleum Development Corporation (TPDC) has signed a joint venture agreement with German firm Ferrostaal Industrial Projects, Danish industrial catalysts producer Haldor Topsoe and Pakistan's Fauji Fertilizer Company to develop the plant.

Carsten Schneider, Ferrostaal's leader of the project, confirmed the company will proceed with the project and that the plant will be operational in 2021.

It will be built in southern Tanzania near big offshore gas finds and is expected to be commissioned in 2020. Natural gas can be used for the industrial production of ammonia, a key fertiliser ingredient.

The east African country said in February an additional 2.17 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of possible natural gas deposits has been discovered in an onshore field, raising its total estimated recoverable natural gas reserves to more than 57 tcf.

Fertiliser produced by the plant will be used to boost agriculture output in Tanzania, while surplus capacity will be exported to foreign markets.

Agriculture contributes more than a quarter of Tanzania's gross domestic product (GDP) and employs around 75 percent of the labour force, but growth is stifled by low crop yields. (Additional reporting by Tom Kaeckenhoff in Duesseldorf; Editing by George Obulutsa and David Evans)

Geza,
Waje hapa waone nini maana ya mradi mkubwa siyo ule wa small scale plant kule Eldoret wanaoupigia kelele "mingi" unaofanana na mashine za millers za "posho" kuchanganya unga wa mahindi na muhogo.
 
I kinda lyk these guyz with their TO START themes while we finish stuff thats why they will always play catch up games
 
Mhh.. Majiraniiiii wazee wa promo.

Bongo mbona tunazo fertiliser plants siku nyingi.. I mean.. Tanga.. Minjingu.. na Same.. na zinatoa mbolea nyingi tu nyingine inauzwa nje..

All in all. Hizo plant zenu mbili ambazo hazina u-special wowote kwa Africa as your media claims ukilinganisha na hiyo inayokwenda kujengwa Lindi.. ni sawa na kulinganisha genge la nyanya na supermarket.

Majirani wazee wa misifaaaaz
 
Actually nimeona toyota tusho is building two plants 12 kilometers away fromeldoret, am confused which is which. tena they will be built in two phases

The project construction will be implemented in two phases, where the first phase will see construction of a Nitrogen Potassium Calcium (NPK) production plant, while the second phase will see Toyota construct a plant for the production of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP), urea and Calcium Ammonium Nitrogen (CAN) fertilizers – the first production for the latter is expected to be in 2016.

The fertilizer production plant is strategically located in Eldoret due to the immense agricultural activities that take place in the area.

 
South Sudan? These are just thoughts in the pipeline bwana if I got your minister well. Wait until you the real thing on the ground first.
 
Great.

key word, complete.

do you know they have had renders to build fly overs in dar(yes just dar) for over half a decade but they have never been built?!

these lazy sacks of bones in tanzania find it difficult to build flyovers yet they somehow want to laugh at kenyan projects when in kenya flyovers get build for fun all over the country.

tanzania can build all the sea and air ports, flyovers, railways, fertilizer plants, gas plants etc etc they want but they still wont catch up with kenya because their problem is not infrastructure but rather they have collectively a weak mindset that plagues them. they are scared to take risks and thrive in a globalized world instead they are content with surviving day to day.

tanzania posses the power to single handedly transform this region for the better(a power that kenya does not possess) and lead EAC to prosperity but ujamaa really f*cked them up. its sad but then that story can be found in many regions across africa.
