Egypt: Misr Chemicals explains a “raw material consumption deviation”

Youm7 reports Misr Chemicals issued explanations around a 17 million EGP item that triggered discussion about a deviation in raw-material consumption. The company frames the issue in terms of operational parameters and how process changes were reflected in cost and reporting lines. For the broader chemicals chain, such deviations matter because salt (NaCl) is a key input for chlor-alkali operations, linking efficiency to upstream salt demand and costs. The statement may increase attention on internal controls, process yields and procurement planning going forward.
