The Chittagong Urea Fertilizer Factory (CUFF) has resumed urea production after remaining closed for 27 days. Production activities at the factory returned to normal from Friday (November 13).

Operations resume after prolonged halt

According to factory sources, the plant had been shut down for the past 27 days due to technical faults and necessary maintenance work. Following the prolonged suspension, the production line was restarted on Friday afternoon. Production is being gradually brought to normal levels.

Relief for fertilizer supply

The resumption of operations is expected to ease the country's fertilizer supply situation. The Chittagong plant accounts for a significant portion of the nation's total urea production. The extended closure had created some pressure on fertilizer supply in the market.

Production targets

Factory authorities stated that production will be in full swing within the next few days and will continue according to targets. Plans are in place to ensure uninterrupted production to meet the demands of the country's agricultural sector.
