Belarus Mulls India’s Participation in NPK Production

Belarus is ready to consider India’s participation in the production of compound fertilizers, according to a BelTA report, citing the country’s chairman of the Council of the Republic, Mikhail Myasnikovich, who is in charge of Belarus’ cooperation with India, and recently met with India’s ambassador to Belarus, Sangeeta Bahadur.

Belarus potash producer Belaruskali has capacity to produce up to 240,000 mt/y of NPK fertilizers, and also has 100,000 mt/y of NPK bulk blending capacity. In the past couple of years, the producer has been working to increase its NPK output through launching new blends and grades and expansion of its sale territory (GM July 15, 2016; Dec. 16, 2016). The company recently said it had produced 77,000 mt of various grades of NPK fertilizers in the first four months of 2018 (GM June 1, p. 16).
