THE United Caapital Fertiliser (UCF) has projected that Zambia will by October next year become fertilizer sufficient with about US$1 billion Urea plant that is under construction while the Compound D fertilizer plant has already been operationalised.
Chance Kabaghe, the UCF board chairperson said Zambia was poised to fully be fertilizer-sufficient by October next year, which would reduce the cost of the fertilizer.
Speaking when delegates from the AFRIQOM Fertilizer Club Africa Conference toured UCF, Mr Kabaghe said with the installed capacity of D-Compound of about 800,000 metric tons and the envisioned production capacity of 300,000 of Urea, the company would be able to meet the fertilizer demands of the country which would result to increased food production.
