OREANDA-NEWS  On 21 November was announced, that the Ukrainian government will protect the Ukrainian chemicals producers against dumping import as well as will try to arrange for lifting of trade restrictions in the USA and EU countries. A relevant memo was signed November 17 by Yulia Timoshenko as well as managers and owners of chemical companies. Besides, the Cabinet of Ministers will finance via Agrarian Fund of Ukraine a procurement of grain for the state food reserve, which will enable the farmers to pay for mineral fertilizers and place orders with the Ukrainian chemical plants.

At the same time, the chemical companies have committed themselves to maintain their capacities load at the minimum level, preserve jobs, salaries, to cut their production costs dramatically as well as to not suspend their modernization programs.

In our opinion, the most important step for the Ukrainian chemical industry is the governmental funding to the Agrarian Fund of Ukraine. Stimulating of agricultural producers’ purchases of fertilizers will allow to deplete the overstocked warehouses of the Ukrainian chemical producers.
