The facility will produce approximately 800 000 tpy of anhydrous ammonia. Once operational, it will become Latin America’s largest merchant ammonia plant, positioning Sinaloa as a strategic hub for chemical production and agricultural input security in the region.
The GPO project is one of two fertilizer investments under construction in Mexico. Fermachem broke ground on a US$1.6 billion facility in Lerdo, Durango, in June 2026. That plant is slated to begin commercial production in 2029 using self-generated electricity and carbon capture technologies to produce about 1 million tpy of granulated urea. Together, the projects are designed to expand production capacity for granulated urea and ammonia.
In total, the private companies are investing more than US$3.2 billion to build the two fertilizer complexes.
