China's GCL and Dangote Industries Limited have formalized a $4.2 billion natural gas supply agreement to support a fertilizer plant in Ethiopia. The 25-year deal will provide gas from the Calub gas field to a facility in Gode, Somali Region, which is set to produce three million tons of urea annually by 2029.

This $2.5 billion project will significantly enhance Ethiopia's fertilizer self-sufficiency and is part of a broader $30 billion investment initiative. The gas will be transported via a dedicated 108-kilometer pipeline, integrating energy and agriculture sectors. This collaboration marks a significant China-Africa industrial partnership.
