OREANDA-NEWS. Nevinnomyssky Azot – a subsidiary of EuroChem – fulfilled its production plan for 2006 at 105.3%. The enterprise market grade output reached RUR 11.7 bn, up RUR 594 m from the planned figures, but down RUR 1171.7 m against actual 2005 figures.

This reduction was primarily related to the large-scale maintenance, upgrade and retrofitting in 2006, and consequent output reduction due to scheduled shutdowns.

The enterprise produced 835,000 tonnes of mineral fertilizers (100% nutrient content), down 8.7% from the level of 2005. The output of ammonia in 2006 was 1.07 m tonnes, down 73,700 tonnes from the level of 2005.
