Urea Fertiliser
What is urea fertiliser?
Urea fertiliser is a crucial element in plant formation for Australias broad acre farming and horticultural production urea is the primary source of nitrogen for crop nutrition. Australian farmers currently use approximately 1,330,000 tonnes of urea fertiliser each year.
How will the new plant affect Australias current import and export of urea?
By producing urea domestically the AEC Latrobe Urea project will replace approximately $300 million of current urea imports and also generate an additional $300 million of urea exports per year. It is proposed that up to 50 per cent of the urea produced by the plant will be exported.
