Chairman and Managing Director of Perdaman Chemicals and Fertilisers, Mr Vikas Rambal, said the signing of the offtake agreement represented a major step forward in the development of the plant. “The Collie Urea Plant has the potential to make Australia a major player in the global urea market. The agreement means that the nation can become a major exporter of urea. This will benefit Australia’s balance of trade figures. There will also be opportunities for sales of urea within Western Australia.”
