Ethiopia has entered into a partnership with Nigeria’s Dangote Group to establish a $2.5 billion fertiliser plant, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed announced Thursday on X.

The facility, to be built in Gode, southeastern Ethiopia, will have an annual production capacity of 3 million metric tons.

The project is part of billionaire Aliko Dangote’s broader push to reduce Africa’s heavy reliance on imported fertiliser and improve self-sufficiency in agricultural inputs.
