Fertiliser production resumes at CUFL

CHATTOGRAM, Nov 02 (BSS): Fertiliser production resumed Sunday at the state-owned Chattogram Urea Fertiliser Limited (CUFL), Anwara Upazila after a six-month shutdown.
Earlier, production had been halted twice this year due to mechanical issues - from January 03 to February 25, and again from April 11 to October 18. Gas supply to the factory was restored on October 19.
CUFL Managing Director Mizanur Rahman said fertiliser production at the factory restarted this morning following the resumption of gas supply.
The factory requires 48 to 52 million cubic feet of gas daily. At present, CUFL has the capacity to produce 1,200 tonnes of urea per day and 310,000 tonnes of ammonia annually.
