Uralchem Group is one of the largest mineral fertilizer companies in Russia and Eastern Europe. Through its ownership of Uralkali, the world's largest producer of potash fertilizers, Uralchem controls Russia's largest ammonia producer and one of the world's leading urea producers, Togliattiazot.
About 100 thousand tonnes of
Russian fertilizers remain blocked in European ports, but humanitarian deliveries continue and amounted to about 200 thousand tonnes, said Dmitry Konyaev, CEO of Uralchem.
"At the moment we have delivered about 200,000 tonnes [of humanitarian aid]. The geography is quite extensive – we are really looking at the regions where the most difficult situation with food security is taking shape... About 100,000 tonnes of fertilizers remain blocked in European ports," Konyaev told Russian media.
The last shipment of fertilizers within the
humanitarian mission of Uralchem, in the volume of 55,000 tonnes, which was in the waters of the Gulf of Riga since the beginning of 2022, left the Latvian port on October 18 and arrived in Sri Lanka in December 2024.
Since the end of 2022, Uralchem Group has sent about 190,000 tonnes of its fertilizers to developing countries free of charge after paying sea freight and other transportation costs, the producer said.
More than 166,000 tonnes of this volume were delivered from European ports with the help of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) – to Malawi, Kenya, Nigeria,
Zimbabwe, and now to Sri Lanka, contributing to the realization of the UN Sustainable Development Goal N2 - "to end hunger in all its forms by 2030 and
achieve food security."
