Large-scale potash project launched today in Luban region

11 сентября 2015

The ceremony was attended by President Alexander Lukashenko. Nezhinskii Mining and Processing Plant is a large-scale project aimed at development of our strategic resource. We build it together with the Russians (the company "Slavkaly"), the project is financed by the world's largest consumer of fertilizers - China. When the complex starts in full force, the budget will receive $ 8 billion.

In the future, the complex will allow increasing production of potash fertilizers in Belarus up to 14 million tons per year. Additional export, growth of tax revenues - all this will give an additional impetus to the development of the country

When the plant reaches full capacity, the company will provide to China up to 2 million tons of potassium per year. Products will be exported by Belarusian Potash Company.

The plant will be constructed mainly by Belarusian specialists. It is understandable, because we have more than half a century of experience in the design and construction of potash plants.

One of the best examples is the turnkey construction of Garlyk mining and processing plant in Turkmenistan. This project is unique in Central Asia. Its price is one billion dollars.

The current visit of the President is the best evidence: the country's leadership controls not only the success of the potash industry, but also its prospects.
