The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is strengthening Egypt’s industrial sector by lending US$ 20 million (€17.5 million) to Futurefert to support its capital expenditure programme.
The EBRD financing will support the construction and operation of three interconnected plants – a sulphuric acid plant, a potassium sulphate plant and a single superphosphate plant – in the Suez Canal Economic Zone, within the Northwest Gulf of Suez Special Economic Zone. The three plants, which will be used for exports to European and African markets, will cover a total area of 127,000 square metres and involve total investment of US$ 45.65 million (€39.9 million).
Futurefert’s expansion is expected to create approximately 300 direct job opportunities, contributing to local employment and industrial development. Futurefert is a steam‑granulated fertiliser mixer operating in the Suez Canal Economic Zone. The company produces high-quality granular NPK fertilisers, primarily for export, with an annual production capacity of 240,000 metric tonnes, and is wholly owned by Sharkia Holding Limited.
