Up to 80% self-sufficient in phosphate rock<br />
EuroChem’s upstream integration starts with apatite<br />
mining operations and natural gas production for<br />
its Phosphate and Nitrogen segments respectively.<br />
Our Potash segment will benefit from the start of<br />
production at EuroChem-VolgaKaliy and EuroChem-<br />
Usolskiy Potash where we expect to reach a combined<br />
8 MMT of <strong>annual</strong> capacity.<br />

Products<br />
RUB 150bn projected investments in nitrogen,<br />
phosphates and potash for 2012-2016 – mostly<br />
on new construction and development<br />
EuroChem produces and sells more than 100 different<br />
products, including ammonia, urea, AN, CAN UAN, MAP,<br />
DAP, and methanol, with melamine and potash in the<br />
pipeline. We are taking steps to further diversify our<br />
product range, while increasing the efficiency of our<br />
production processes and reducing the environmental<br />
footprint of operations. Our diversified product mix<br />
provides us with a competitive advantage in both domestic<br />
and international markets, while our substantial degree<br />
of sales flexibility allows us to quickly adapt to customer<br />
demand and economic conditions.<br />

Distribution<br />
25 distribution centres in Russia and the Ukraine<br />
In addition to offering a full range of EuroChem fertilizers,<br />
our distribution centres provide third-party crop protection<br />
products, seeds, and consulting services. The expansion<br />
of our distribution network has provided us with a strong<br />
foothold in Russia, the world’s fastest growing large<br />
agricultural market, and the attractive Ukrainian market.<br />
Our sales reflect the Russian market growth story –<br />
from 2009 to <strong>2011</strong>, sales from our Distribution segment<br />
increased 160% from RUB 5.32bn to RUB 13.97bn.<br />
We now boast a 25% market share in Russia, where<br />
our presence is heavily concentrated within the Black<br />
Earth Region.<br />
