“As a result, despite the difficult global situation, the production of the main types of mineral fertilizers – nitrogen, phosphorus and high-tech complex fertilizers – increased by 5% in the past year in physical weight,” RIA Novosti quotes the words of the head of the RAPU Andrey Guryev.
In addition, according to Guryev, Russian farmers increased their purchases of products by at least 15% on the domestic market.
Earlier, Russian Minister of Agriculture Dmitry Patrushev said that Russia has collected more than 159 million tons of grain in bunker weight, and about 150 million tons in net weight.
