Ethiopia’s EABC seeks DAP in tender
Ethiopian Agricultural Businesses (EABC) has likely issued a tender to buy 360,000t of DAP, closing on 9 September.
Sources expect EABC to issue further tenders to bring the total volume of phosphate-containing fertilizers sought to 800,000-1.36mn t for delivery in 2024-25. But it is uncertain if additional tenders will also be for DAP or for NPS/NPSB.
Typically, the corporation seeks large amounts of NPS and NPSB in its annual large-scale tender, and Moroccan major fertilizer producer OCP is awarded the full volume. In its 2023 tender — issued in August — EABC requested a little over 1.02mn t of NPSB and 332,300t of NPS, as well as 980,000t of urea.
But reports emerged earlier this week that EABC was preparing to seek DAP instead.
