PhosAgro increased its 1H2020 production by almost 7%

In the first half of 2020, PhosAgro increased the production of mineral fertilizers by 6.6% to almost 5.014 million tons.

Of the company’s total production volumes, the output of phosphorous fertilizers and feed phosphates raised by 7% to 3.807 million tons, the production of nitrogen fertilizers also increased by 5.7% to 1.206 million tons.
