Agricultural production growth in Russia and the CIS may outpace global growth rates, and EuroChem is well-positioned to help farmers in its domestic markets increase output
Key facts:
- We expect long-term growth in Russian and CIS agricultural markets after underinvestment in the sector during the previous two decades, during which fertilizer application fell 90%
- We sell yields, not fertilizers through our network, providing agronomics advisory services and third-party seeds and crop protection products in addition to EuroChem’s own fertilizers
- Our distributors buy products from our plants and other producers, and sell at a margin to customers
Where we work:
Own distributors
Independent distributors
Strategy:
- “Sell yield, not fertilizers” – we take an advisory approach to farmers, helping them to increase yields through a range of methods, rather than just boost their fertilizer consumption
- Contribute to the recovery of efficient and effective agriculture in Russia and the CIS, and benefit from the agricultural recovery in this region
- Better balance sales with a strong foothold in our home market, which helps to mitigate the effects of trade barriers if and when they arise
