Urea - A Vital Ingredient to Ensure Agricultural Productivity

Urea is the most important nitrogenous fertiliser in Agriculture for its high Nitrogen Content ( 46 % ).

Overuse of farmland and non-replenishment by small-scale farmers, lacking the capacity and resources for organic farming hinder food productivity in Nigeria and Africa. Also, imported or most locally blended organic fertiliser brands are still relatively expensive for the resource-poor farmers. Hence, the commissioning of Dangote Fertiliser Plant makes Urea affordable and freely available.

Although Urea often offers the most nitrogen for the lowest price on the market for farmers, extra caution is necessary while applying Urea to the soil to prevent nitrogen loss through undesired chemical reactions. Dangote Agricultural Services provide the much needed professional hand-holding for the farmers to ensure proper application of Urea Fertiliser to the farms. This long-awaited initiative will be the game changer to achieve agricultural boom. Dangote Fertiliser production would contribute immensely to improved farm yields and agricultural productivity, critical to Nigeria’s long-term food security. 

Agriculture apart, Urea also has significant use as an animal feed supplement and in Industry for in the Plastics manufacturing.
