China’s CJN to invest $1 B in 905,000 m² phosphate chemicals complex in Sokhna 360

CAIRO – 27 November 2025: Chinese industrial giant CJN has signed an agreement with Elsewedy Industrial Development to establish a fully integrated phosphate chemicals complex in the Sokhna Industrial Zone, located within the Sokhna 360 Integrated Industrial City of the Suez Canal Economic Zone.
The project spans 905,000 square meters and will be implemented across three consecutive phases, with total investments estimated at $1 billion. A substantial portion of the complex’s output will be allocated to export markets in South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and South America, reinforcing Egypt’s role as a regional industrial hub.
The first phase is scheduled to begin in 2026, with commercial operations expected in 2028. This stage will focus on increasing the value-added content of Egyptian phosphate ore through the production of phosphoric acid along with DAP and TSP fertilizers, each delivering an annual production capacity of 300,000 tons.
The second phase, set to launch in 2029 and operate commercially by 2031, will expand into high-purity phosphate chemicals, including Purified Phosphoric Acid (PPA) in both industrial and food grades, as well as Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP). These advanced products will be manufactured in the Middle East for the first time, marking a significant milestone for regional chemical production.
The third phase, beginning in 2032 with commercial operation targeted for 2034, will shift toward new-energy materials, particularly those used in electric-vehicle battery production. Key outputs will include Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) and Lithium Dihydrogen Phosphate, supporting Egypt’s emergence as a growing hub for advanced battery materials and green-energy technologies.
The project also includes the establishment of a specialized Research and Development Center dedicated to advancing phosphate-based chemical technologies. Set to launch alongside the first phase, the center will promote industrial localization, support technology transfer, and strengthen Egypt’s scientific and technological capabilities in high-value chemical manufacturing.
