This year's participants included more than 300 experts from 8 countries. The forum opened with a plenary session. The experts discussed the development of the fertiliser industry and the challenges of implementing investment projects in the current environment. Dmitry Makarov, General Director of the Ammoni AO chemical complex, shared his experience at the plenary session.
‘Every day we have to solve new unexpected tasks: from reorientation of export logistics to search for and development of alternative modern technologies, from implementation of advanced solutions and innovations to providing our enterprises with highly qualified personnel,’ said Dmitry Makarov.
Today, the chemical complex is implementing one of the largest investment projects in the country - the Ammoni 2 ammonia and urea production complex.
