The S.A. Nyyazov Turkmenabat Chemical Plant has launched a new fertilizer production line, which includes ammonium superphosphate and organomineral compounds, Türkmen gündogary newspaper reported on Monday.

The plant’s scientific research led to the development of a new soil conditioner made from phosphogypsum with added sulfur and nitrogen, which improves soil composition and increases crop yields. A major achievement is the production of oxyhumate, a fertilizer that boosts soil fertility by 20 to 25 percent. Last year, the plant produced a record 184,000 tons, and the product is already widely used in the country’s agricultural sector.

The plant also manufactures industrial lubricants and polyethylene film for greenhouse farms. It supplies products to both domestic and export markets.

Founded in 1960, the Turkmenabat Chemical Plant remains Turkmenistan’s only producer of phosphate fertilizers. The plant’s product range includes ammonium superphosphate, sulfuric acid, soil conditioner, oxyhumate, aluminum sulfate, polymer goods, and ammophos. The plant continues to prioritize phosphate fertilizer production while working to improve product quality and increase output.
