Russian-owned Slavkaliy Co. said it plans to start hiring personnel in 2021 to work at its Nezhinsky potash mine and processing plant currently under development in eastern Belarus, according to a BelTa news report, citing Slavkaliy representatives. All the workers will be hired by 2023.
Construction of the Nezhinsky potash mine and plant got underway in 2016, and is expected ultimately to have capacity to produce some 2 million mt/y of potassium chloride (GM Sept. 8, 2017). First production had been targeted for 2020, but is now not expected until 2022.
