4 January , 2021  

The Odesa Port Side Plant produced 821,200 tonnes of urea in 2020, which is 2.5 times more than in 2019 and is a record high over the past five years.

Its production facilities also produced 96,500 tonnes of commercial ammonia, which is 3.2 times more than a year earlier, a press release of the enterprise published on Thursday says.

Almost all products are made from raw materials supplied by the customer, but there is no more accurate data on this in the message.

The plant also clarified that over 90% of its products are exported.

As reported, last year the state-owned Odesa Port Side Plant increased the production of urea from tolling raw materials by 82.1% – to 324,600 tonnes, but reduced the production of ammonia 4.7 times – to 29,900 tonnes.
