MISR fertilizer production MOPCO

What MISR fertilizer production MOPCO does

Misr Fertilizers Production Company (MOPCO) is an Egyptian public limited company listed on the Egyptian Stock Exchange (ticker: MOPCO, ISIN: EGS39061C014) and Egypt's largest urea fertilizer producer. It operates an integrated manufacturing complex in Damietta Governorate producing granular urea, ammonia (as an intermediate input), and AdBlue diesel exhaust fluid, supported by an Advanced Digital Control Center for process and safety management. The corporate headquarters is in New Cairo (Building 194, Northern 90 Street, 2nd Sector, City Center, Fifth Settlement), and the company employs 1,000+ people. Production is based on German TKIS inherently safer fertilizer technology, with environmental infrastructure including a Zero Liquid Discharge industrial wastewater unit, continuous environmental monitoring linked to the national network, and a Carbon Capture and Utilization (CCU) project capturing 140,000 tons of CO2 annually.

MOPCO's commercial model is split between domestic subsidized supply to the Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture and free-market sales via public auctions, alongside export of bagged or bulk urea to 43 destinations across 190+ ports worldwide (10.5+ million tons cumulative since 2008). Pricing for free-market volumes is determined through public auction; the government channel operates at subsidized prices tied to national food security mandates. The company earns revenue across three primary streams: urea fertilizer sales, ammonia sales, and subsidized agricultural supply contracts. Its parent is the Egyptian Petrochemical Holding Company (ECHEM), which holds 31.47% of the 2.868 billion shares outstanding, alongside other state-aligned shareholders (SEIC 24.04%, Alfa Oryx 20%, EGAS 9.89%, MoF 3.73%, GASCO 0.48%, public 10.39%).

In FY2025, MOPCO reported revenue of 26.84 billion EGP (up 37% year-over-year), gross profit of 13.5 billion EGP (up 53%), and EBITDA of 12.96 billion EGP (up 71%), with a market capitalization of 120.4 billion EGP (approximately $2.04 billion) as of March 26, 2026. The company is registered to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, ISO 50001:2018, and ISO/IEC 17025 standards, and is pursuing a 150,000-ton-per-year Green Ammonia production project with Scatec and CCU-driven capacity expansion. Its current strategic evolution centers on decarbonization, ESG-aligned product positioning, and maintenance of its dominant share of the Egyptian urea market.
