  • Between now and 2014 EuroChem plans to grow faster than the rest of the world in the phosphate and potash segments, while in nitrogen we plan to focus on product flexibility and removal of bottlenecks. Our investments in our potash greenfield projects are just one of the keys to growth. In phosphates, we will focus on increasing our own supply of raw materials and building new capacity to achieve economies of scale at our Russian plants.
  • Among Russian fertilizer producers, we are not only the largest, but also one of the most efficient. In 2007-2009 we invested around US$ 1.9bn into existing and new capacity.
