Agricultural industry is one of priority vectors of cooperation between Russia and Nigeria. As a global leading producer of mineral fertilisers with extensive agronomical expertise, Uralchem Group can provide a substantial momentum to the development of Nigerian agriculture. We aim for a long-term partnership with the private and public sectors in Nigeria and hope to make a significant boost to the productivity of the whole agro-industrial complex of this West African country.
