Algeria is a high possibility that a major actor will be played in the domain fertilizer agriculture in the field of the exploitation of a phosphate mine without Chinois. Le project a été confié à deux groupes publics, Sonatrach et Sonarem (Société nationale de recherche et d’exploitation minière).
The coup of the project was made by the Minister of Energy and Mines Mohamed Arkab in Bled El Hadba in the far south of Tébessa, in the presence of the patrons of Sonatrach, of the Sonarem, but in the absence of the Chinese partners who are part of want to make the investment.
This is my part of an integrated project for the extraction, transformation and export of phosphate.
The Bled El Hadba mine “renerme an important reserve of phosphate susceptible to exploitation by 80 years with plus the 1,200 million tons not plus the 800 million exploitables”, a statement Mohamed Arkab.
Production started in 2027 with the production of 6 million tons of raw phosphate in Bled El Hadba and 5 million tons of fertilizers in Oued Keberit in the will of Souk Ahras, as an official agency.
M. Arkab, un precision que la exploitation de phosphatique de l’utilisateur des 100% head de la algerian oeuvre et de exclusive national competences con 2 groups Sonatrach et Sonarem à la cadres de la cadres national communauté university algerienne ».
L’Algérie has given the Chinese an important mini-project
The Chinese groups, which are poor participants in the realization of this integrated project, do not invest on a value of six billion dollars, on a cartel for the raison d’être whose financial capacity and technology are inadequate.
In May 2023, Tewfik Hakkar, PDG de Sonatrach (lifelong and replaced by Rachid Hachichi), visited the work in China for y chercher des finances a gigantic project operated by the Algerian Chinese company ACFC (Algerian Chinese Fertilizers Company).
Cette society a créée on March 2022 by the Algerian societies Asmidal and Manal and the Chinese groups Wuhuan and Tian’an pour an investment of 7 billion dollars. ACFC has a détenue of 44% of the Chinese against 66% for the Algerian party.
It is often the case that Chinese partners do not have the necessary financial capacity for the project genre, which appeals to the authorities of Algerian governments to trust two groups of public. La Sonarem is in charge of operating the mine because Sonatrach produces fertilizers.
During this time, Minister Arkab made the coup for the realization of the use of transformation and the production of azotés and phosphates of fertilizers at Oued Keberit. During the construction work it took 12 to 18 months, with Nadia Benyoussef, director of central at Sonatrach, who was ex-primary at the ondes de la Chain III of the Algerian Radio.
Ce lundi, Nadia Benyoussef, director of the central chez Sonatrach, a detail of the function of the integrated project. « The extraction of gross phosphate with a reason of 10.5 million tons per sera at the level of the site of Bled El Hadba », avant of the transfer to the use of Oued Keberit for the transformation into engraving for agriculture », a explanation of the ondes de la Chaîne III de la Radio nationale.
And plus the importance of the economy and agriculture in Algeria, which allow self-sufficiency in fertilizer production, the project is integrated to create the employment billions in the likes of Tébessa and the Souk Ahras. “Celui qui détient les engrais détient pratiquement un pouvoir de décision grand”, a statement by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on December 2023.
According to the Minister of Energy and Mines, Algeria gives a figure in the Top 10 of the world payments with geological reserves and phosphate estimates plus the 3 billion tons and not the 1.2 billion tons from Bled El Hadba.
