“SOCAR carbamide plant is the only large enterprise in the region and two third of its products will be exported to Turkey. Moreover, we plan to start exports to Ukraine and Georgia. The plant’s products will also be put up on the international exchange, where the operation will be carried out by SOCAR Trading,” Jafarov told Reuters.
Regarding the return of the loan received for the construction of the plant, the director noted that this would begin 1.5 years after the start-up of the enterprise, and the plant will begin to bring profit eight years later.
On January 16, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev attended the inauguration of SOCAR carbamide plant constructed in the territory of Sumgayit Chemical Industrial Park.
