QAFCO is a chemical manufacturing company focused on fertilizer production, operating six plants with substantial annual capacity for ammonia and urea. Founded in 1969 as a government joint venture with foreign shareholders, it was Qatar's first large-scale petrochemical venture and was intended to diversify the economy and leverage the country's large gas reserves. It is wholly owned by Industries Qatar and employs a sizable workforce to run its operations. It exports urea from a single site and accounts for up to 14% of global supply. In the fertilizer industry, QAFCO emphasizes producing high-quality ammonia and urea while operating safely, efficiently, and with environmental responsibility; it has set a goal to become the world's largest urea producer by 2030. A recent development noted is participation in the Qatar 2025 event, reflecting ongoing industry engagement.
