The Republic of Congo expects to resume potash production in the early months of 2027 through a Chinese-backed project. Potash is a key mineral used in fertiliser production.
According to the Rio Times, the project will come online ahead of a planned $3 billion potash venture by Nigerian businessman Aliko Dangote. Output in the region could mean a new source in the global fertiliser supply chain.
Africa is drawing rising investment interest in critical minerals. Moves by China and other players into mining projects in the region are being watched closely for their effect on production timelines and pricing.
