State-owned urea producer QatarEnergy has signed a 20-year urea supply agreement with Japanese firm Mitsui for the supply of 500,000 t/yr of urea, it said on 10 November.
QatarEnergy will start supplying urea to Mitsui from January 2026, with volumes likely to consist of both prilled and granular urea.
The Qatar state-owned firm plans to develop a new urea production complex by 2030, which will double its urea capacity to 12.4mn t/yr.
Qatar has exported slightly over 80,000t of urea to Japan in January-August, trade data show, while Qatar's urea deliveries to Japan came in at 295,000t in 2024.
