Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers also expanded the supply of products to the domestic Russian market by 27.9 thousand tons to 412.4 thousand tons.

“Undoubtedly, 2021 became a successful year for our enterprise in all respects,” said Dmitry Trushkov, General Director of Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers. “We increased the production volumes by 15%. We managed to achieve such impressive results not only due to the commissioning of new production lines but also due to updating the technology and reducing equipment downtime. In 2022, we plan further expand our product portfolio and launch several investment projects.”
