MOPCO Surpasses Urea and Ammonia Production Targets in 2025

Misr Fertilisers Production Company (MOPCO) reported urea production of 1.7 million tonnes in fiscal year 2025, achieving 102% of its investment plan, while ammonia output reached 1.1 million tonnes, also 102% of target. Ahmed Mahmoud, MOPCO chairman, announced at the company’s general assembly convened to approve the 2025 results.

The meeting, chaired by Alaa El-Din Abdel Fattah, Chairman of the Egyptian Petrochemicals Holding Company (ECHEM), approved a cash dividend of EGP 3.94 per share. Abdel Fattah highlighted Mopco’s vital role in the national economy, noting that the company covers 26% of the domestic market’s urea fertilizer demand.

MOPCO’s total urea sales reached 1.75 million tons (103% of target), and ammonia sales hit 126,000 tons (118% of target). Mopco exported 956,000 tons of urea—representing 55% of total sales—with 95% of these exports destined for the European market. The remaining 792,000 tons (45%) were supplied locally. For ammonia, 45,000 tons (36%) were exported, while 80,000 tons (64%) were directed to the domestic market.

On the financial front, MOPCO reported a robust performance with revenues reaching EGP 26.8 billion, a 36.6% growth rate compared to the previous year. Gross profit amounted to EGP 13.5 billion, marking a 53% increase. Total investment rose to EGP 55.7 billion, a 3.5% growth rate, while shareholders’ equity reached EGP 47.8 billion, a 5.35% increase over 2024.

MOPCO is currently pursuing an ambitious 2030 investment plan, which includes upgrading plant efficiency to boost production and rationalizing natural gas consumption. Key green initiatives include the production of AdBlue and a green ammonia project in partnership with the Norwegian firm Scatec. Additionally, the company is moving forward with a carbon dioxide recovery unit, the first of its kind in Africa and the Middle East, to significantly reduce emissions.

The company recorded 4.7 million safe man-hours without injuries in 2025. Mopco’s regional cooperation remains a core strength, with the Saudi and Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth funds collectively holding a stake exceeding 44%.
