In a strategic move aimed at expanding its operations, Chemplex Corporation Ltd Group has announced plans to establish an all-in-one fertilizer plant capable of producing fertilizers and assorted chemicals at both regional and global scales. CEO James Chigwende outlined the company’s vision, stating that the medium-term goal involves the establishment of this comprehensive facility.
Chigwende emphasized the pivotal role of technical institutions in assisting with the development of various chemicals to be manufactured at the proposed plant, along with leveraging existing facilities for water purification, animal health products, and substituting other limestone-based products and chemicals.
Zimbabwe’s national demand for fertilizers is estimated at 400,000 metric tonnes of basal and 380,000 metric tonnes of top dressing per annum for both the summer and winter cropping season.
