This Presidential Fertilizer Initiative (PFI) is both a Government to Government (G2G) partnership (🇳🇬 🇲🇦); and a Public Private Partnership (PPP) - bringing together @NGRPresident @nsia_nigeria @cenbank on the public sector side and @FEPSAN from the private sector.
PFI is a massive logistical challenge: thousands of truck movements annually to take raw materials to blending plants and blended NPK to market. Big boost for Trucking Industry - tens of thousands of jobs created in value chain. (944,000+ MT of NPK Fertilizer blended since 2017)
