QatarEnergy signs 15-year urea deal with Koch

QatarEnergy has agreed a 15-year urea supply contract with Koch Fertilizer, covering up to 740,000 t/y of Qatari-origin product from July 2024 into the US and other export markets. The deal gives Koch long-term third‑party urea volumes to feed its distribution network alongside output from its own nitrogen assets in North America, Trinidad and Tobago and Morocco.

Qatar is the world’s second-largest urea exporter, with Qatar Fertilizer Company (QAFCO), a QatarEnergy affiliate, described as the world’s largest integrated single-site producer of urea and ammonia. The companies said the contract supports supply into the global agricultural sector and reflects a relationship that has already run for more than a decade.
