Eurochem, a representative who chose to remain anonymous, stated: “Our specialized NPK fertilizers are distributed through local channels and reach over 200,000 tons annually in the Chinese market. This new plant marks a strategic expansion for us, aiming to strengthen our position in the dedicated fertilizer sector.†The company has not yet revealed the exact investment amount for the project. Once operational, profits will be shared based on each party’s capital contribution. Eurochem is also open to involving third-party partners in the future.
Konstantin Yumin, an analyst at Raiffeisenbank in Austria, estimates that the total cost of the project could range between $50 million and $60 million. He noted that the Migao Group, a major player in China's potash market, could serve as a key distribution partner for Eurochem. Additionally, the group may supply raw materials to other facilities under the Migao umbrella. This joint venture in Yunnan is the second major initiative launched by Eurochem in China within a month. Earlier this July, the company announced plans to invest around $1.5 billion over the next five years to build a nitrogen and urea production plant in the United States.
Before the recent approval of Sinopec’s bid for a Russian rubber company, Eurochem had already made significant international investments. In 2008, the firm planned to invest $2.5 billion in phosphorite mining in Kazakhstan, with additional plans to construct an ore refinery and three fertilizer plants in the country by 2015. However, the project was delayed, and as of 2013, it remained unimplemented. Industry insiders explained that the delay was due to the prolonged licensing process by the Kazakh government.
Ivan Andriyevsky, Managing Partner at 2K Audit (2KAudit), said it’s still too early to assess the long-term success of Eurochem’s global expansion strategy. While demand for fertilizers continues to rise in Southeast Asia, the U.S. market has seen a sharp decline in inorganic fertilizer consumption.
Despite these challenges, Andriyevsky added, “Considering Eurochem’s financial performance, its current foreign investment plan appears to be realistic and well-structured.†The company seems determined to expand its global footprint, leveraging partnerships and strategic investments to meet growing regional demand.Aluminium Copper Air Conditioning Connecting Pipe
