VANADZOR - KHIMPROM TO RESUME FERTILIZER PRODUCTION IN 2013
YEREVAN, November 8. / ARKA /. Vanadzor-Khimprom chemical plant
in the Armenian city of Vanadzor will eventually resume production
of fertilizers next year, Gagik Minasian, chairman of a parliament
committee on financial and budget issues, said today. Earlier Grisha
Baghyan, the first deputy agriculture minister, said the plant would
resume production in September.
The plant is expected to produce in the first phase only carbamide
nitrogenous fertilizers with 46-percent content of nitrogen and
ammonium sulfate with 20-to-25-percent content of nitrogen and later
will also start producing phosphorous fertilizers. Initially, the
plant will produce 15 tons of fertilizers a year, and later production
volumes will be enlarged. Only local raw materials will be used for
producing fertilizers.
According to Armenian agriculture ministry, Armenia consumes annually
up to 40,000 tons of fertilizers.
The Vanadzor chemical plant resumed operating in 2005 after it stood
dysfunctional for long years. The plant belongs to Russia's Roding
Limited International registered in the Great Britain. Its output in
2011 amounted to 700 million drams - 2.5-times year-on-year growth
($1 - 408.56 drams). -0-
