PhosAgro PJSC has joined the Arab Fertilizer Association (AFA) following the signing of an in-principle accession agreement in St. Petersburg in July 2023, the Russian fertilizer group said in a media statement. PhosAgro is the first representative of the Russian fertilizer industry to join the organization.
The AFA, operating under the auspices of the Council of Arab Economic Unity, brings together 180 companies from 29 countries, including Morocco’s OCP Group SA, Saudi Arabia’s Saudi Arabian Mining Company (Ma’aden), and SABIC.
“Participation in the Association’s committees and working groups will enable PhosAgro experts to discuss the international agenda concerning the sustainable use of fertilizers and food security, while also facilitating the exchange of best practices among industry leaders,” said PhosAgro CEO Mikhail Rybnikov.
