The industrial area of Gabes has recovered gradually its usual production pace after the resumption of activity in plants of the Tunisian Chemical Group (GCT) and industrial companies based in the region.
The pace of production has ramped up in industrial units of GCT in Gabes, reaching an average of 60% in the phosphoric acid and diammonium phosphate (DAP) and 100% in the Ammonium Nitrate factory, which will help overcome the shortage of this product essential for agriculture.
Restart of work at the Tunisian chemical group in Gabes has impacted positively on other companies, whose activities depend on this group, including Timab Company, the chemical fluorine industries and the chemical company.
The GCT of Gabes was forced during the recent period to import significant quantities of Ammonium Nitrate to meet the needs of the local market after the suspension of production as a result of repeated protest movements.
