In particular, measures are being taken to diversify exported products. 37 types of chemical products were delivered for export in the current year. 13 types of chemical products were also exported for 18 million dollars. Of these, complex mineral fertilizers (9 types), polyanionic cellulose, liquid mineral fertilizers (2 types). 

It is worth noting that the growth rates of exports of certain types of products amounted to significant indicators compared to the corresponding period of 2021. Of these, the export of superphosphate increased 35 times, the export of products liquefied ammonia – 16 times, the export of automobile tires – 11 times, the export of liquid argon and ammonium chloride – 6 times.

Also, the dynamics of prices for mineral fertilizers on the world market are constantly analyzed, the sale of products at high-yield prices has been achieved. For example, from January to October 2021, 871.5 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers worth 198.5 million dollars were delivered for export, 753 thousand tons of mineral fertilizers worth 329.4 million dollars were delivered for export in the current year, which is 209 dollars more for each ton of exported mineral fertilizers than in the last year.

By the end of 2022, the annual export figure will be 450 million dollars, which is expected to be 117.8% more compared to 2021.
