The plant, covering an area of 72 hectares in Tang Loong industrial park, was built at total cost of over 5.1 trillion VND (228.5 million USD). With a designed capacity of 330,000 tonnes of DAP fertilizer a year, the plant will help reduce the country’s dependence on foreign fertilizers with unstable prices and quality while meeting part of the export demand.
