About Industries Chimiques du Senegal
Profile
Industries Chimiques du Sénégal (I.C.S.- Chemical Industries of Senegal) is a product of South-South cooperation, and more specifically of the convergence between India's significant need for phosphoric acid to produce fertilizer, and the availability of a high quality phosphate mine in Senegal.
ICS is Senegal's largest industrial complex, producing:
•marketable phosphate, from a mine in TAÏBA, located some 100 km from DAKAR,
•phosphoric acid (P2O5), in two adjacent plants located in DAROU, near the mine,
•fertilizers (DAP, NPK, SSP/TPS) in a plant located in MBAO (18 km outside of DAKAR).
The ICS industrial complex also includes:
•marketing of its products and production of pesticides, through its SENCHIM subsidiary,
•rail transportation, through its SEFICS subsidiary,
•logistics (Port Terminal and crane, sea-lines for ammonia and acid),
•water supply (boreholes in MÉKHÉ) and electrical power production.
