Integrated Phosphate Project
The Integrated Phosphate Project (Arabic: مشروع الفوسفات المدمج) is a large-scale mining and industrial project in Algeria, aimed at extracting phosphate ore from the Bled El Hadba deposit and processing it into phosphate and nitrogen-based fertilizers for both domestic use and export. The project spans four provinces in eastern Algeria — Tébessa, Souk Ahras, Skikda and Annaba — and represents an estimated total investment of approximately $7 billion, making it Algeria's first fully integrated project combining mining extraction, chemical transformation and export within a single value chain.
