Chattogram:Production has restarted at the state-owned Chattogram Urea Fertilizer Limited (CUFL) in Anwara upazila after a 27-day shutdown due to a mechanical fault.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the plant resumed urea production at around 300 am on Friday, confirmed by CUFL's Managing Director Mizanur Rahman.
The shutdown resulted in an average daily production loss of Taka 3 crore. The factory uses liquid ammonia and carbon dioxide as the main raw materials for urea fertilizer. It now produces over 1,000 metric tons of urea every 24 hours, valued at approximately Taka 4.5 crore in the market.
Mizanur Rahman also mentioned that there are currently no issues with the gas supply, as the plant is receiving sufficient gas to meet its requirements.
