As the Federal State Statistics Service reports, during the January-May period of 2022, ammonia production in Russia decreased by 11% to 7.5 million tons. The production of mineral fertilizers decreased by 7.1% to 10.4 million tons. Of their total volume, the output of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers increased by 2.7% to 5 million tons and by 2.3% to 1.8 million tons, respectively. While the production of potassium fertilizers fell by 11.5% to 3.5 million tons. “The official statistics reflect the situation in the domestic chemical industry: on the one hand, Western sanctions caused difficulties in the production of mineral fertilizers, on the other hand, the demand for Russian fertilizers is strong both inside the country and abroad. Therefore, chemical companies continue to work, overcoming the problems,” commented the information and analytical service of Fertilizer Daily. --- **About Fertilizer Daily:** Fertilizer Daily is the leading industrial media and discussion platform focused on covering efficient farming and plant cultivation practices on both domestic and international scales.
