QatarEnergy has signed a long-term urea supply agreement with Koch Fertilizer, a leading US-based fertilizer producer and supplier.

The 15-year supply agreement, starting in July 2024, stipulates the supply of up to 0.74 million tons per annum (MTPA) of urea to Koch Fertilizer.

Under this agreement, urea of Qatari origin will be supplied to the agricultural sectors of the US and other international markets.

This agreement highlights QatarEnergy’s strategy in establishing longstanding relationships with reliable leaders of the fertilizer industry and its commitment to supporting the global agricultural sector.

Qatar is the world’s second-largest exporter of urea, with QatarEnergy’s affiliate, Qatar Fertilizer Company (Qafco) being the world’s largest integrated single-site producer of urea and ammonia.

Saad bin Sherida al-Kaabi, Qatar Minister of State for Energy Affairs and the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, said that, “We are delighted to announce the signing of this long-term sales agreement with one of our valued partners, solidifying our longstanding relationship with Koch Fertilizer. This agreement marks a significant step in advancing synergy and cooperation and fostering mutual growth and value for both sides.”

On his part, Mark Luetters, senior vice-president of Koch Industries and president of Koch Fertilizer, stated that, “QatarEnergy has been a cherished partner of Koch Fertilizer for more than a decade and we are thrilled to cement our mutually beneficial relationship for years to come. The agreement aligns with Koch Fertilizer’s long-term vision and presents an exciting opportunity to better serve our customers.”

Koch Fertiliser is a subsidiary of Koch Industries with fertilizer plants in North America, Trinidad and Tobago, and Morocco; with distribution facilities and terminals located in the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Australia, and other international markets.
