Commenting on the 2011 production results, PhosAgro CEO and Director Maxim Volkov said: “I am pleased to announce a 6% rise in production and sales of phosphate-based fertilizers in 2011, which shows that we have delivered on our strategy of organic growth through increasing processing of our own phosphate rock for phosphate-based fertilizers like MAP, DAP and NPK.
“With PhosAgro’s rich resource base in the Apatit mine, we are also seeking to increase shareholder value over the longer term by developing projects to increase the deep processing of apatite ore for products like fluoric salts, in addition to increasing the production of our own phosphate-based fertilizers.”
