Dangote Fertiliser Ltd. is witnessing increased demand due to disruptions in global fertiliser supplies caused by the ongoing US-Israel conflict with Iran. The conflict has halted traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, impacting supplies of urea and ammonia from Iran and raising natural gas prices.

Dangote's facility in Lagos has an annual capacity of about 3 million tonnes, exporting roughly 37% to the United States. The company plans to expand and aims to be the world's largest urea exporter within four years while also developing a $2.5 billion fertiliser plant in Ethiopia to enhance Africa's agricultural self-sufficiency.
