Sohar Freezone has signed a land lease agreement with Integrated Solutions Plant and Land Services (FZC) LLC to establish a liquid fertilizer plant spread over a 15,000 sqm-plot.
The project represents an investment of RO2.2 million and it includes the potential for future expansion which would see the plant produce ammonium sulphate to strengthen Oman’s export sector, especially in Pakistan and Tanzania.
