During January-February of the current year, demand in Ukraine for fertilizer mixtures decreased by 50%, at the same time demand for nitroammophoska increased by 30%, declared Sergey Bilous, the commercial manager of "Ukrprodtorg" Ltd.
Also, agrarians have extremely low demand for potash and phosphoric fertilizers, according to him.
Inaccessibility of credits and the deficit of financial reserves of agricultural producers became the main reasons of the situation.
The preliminary data of the polling of "Ukraine: sowing campaign - 2009. Forecast of harvests of main agricultural crops in Ukraine in 2009" confirm the tendency.
"Ukrprodtorg" Ltd. produces and sells mineral fertilizers throughout the whole territory of Ukraine. "Dorogobush", "Akron", "EuroHim" (Russia), "Belarusian potash company" (Belarus) and other large-scale plant-producers of the CIS countries are the main suppliers of the products to the company. "Ukrprodtorg" Ltd. also cooperates with the domestic producers such as "RivneAzot", "Sumy Himprom", "Dneprodzerjunsk plant of mineral fertilizers" and etc.
