Lukashenko: Belarus has a sea of requests for potash and joint fertilizer production
Belarus has a sea of requests for potash and joint fertilizer production. This was stated by President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko on November 4, while approving the appointment of Andrey Rybakov as General Director of JSC "Belaruskali", as reported by a BELTA correspondent.
"Yes, today Western countries are blocking the supply of potash fertilizers. But I have a sea of requests. I will not name these states, which say: 'Let's do it together and sell complex, mixed fertilizers.' We need to go for this: we will deliver potash somewhere, there is a plant on the border somewhere - we mix fertilizers and sell them abroad immediately. The demand is huge: there will always be a great demand for food, and what kind of food is there without mineral fertilizers? Therefore, we need to engage with states with which we can produce these fertilizers," Alexander Lukashenko said.
Lukashenko approved the appointment of new heads at Belneftekhim and Belaruskali
The President noted that it is necessary to more actively push into foreign markets, especially since the directions of work have "already been felt out." "Europe doesn't want to work with us - God be with them," he stressed.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs should be the main executor in these matters, the head of state said. "They must help our export-oriented enterprises and ministries. This is our main task," Alexander Lukashenko stated.
