Dmitry Osipov, Uralkali CEO, commented:
"Last year Uralkali produced a record 12.1 million tonnes of KCl, maintaining its leading position in the global potash industry. The accident that happened at Solikamsk-2 in November 2014 is expected to have a negative impact on our output in 2015. However, the Company will make every effort to meet customer demand both in Russia and abroad through expansion of current and accelerated development of new facilities."
