Owner	Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers OJSC Voskresenskie Mineralnye Udobreniya (VMU)
Background	1930 – The first workshop for production of ground rock phosphate with capacity of 200 thousand tonnes per year was put into operation. It was the first workshop of the enterprise, which was eventually named Voskresensk Chemical Workshop. 1931 – First tonnes of mineral fertilizers were produced. 1939 – Production of contact sulphuric acid was launched. 1966 – A complex for production of contact sulphuric acid was put into operation. 1975-1980 – Active sulphuric acid workshop No. 3, phosphoric acid workshop No. 4, and MAP workshop No. 2 were put into operation. The mineral fertilizers output increased, and the inefficient production units were decommissioned. 2006 – The Company’s shareholding structure was reorganized by merger of Kormophos, CJSC (production of phosphorus based fodder additives) and GOP, CJSC (extraction of rock phosphate on Egorievsk deposit) with Voskresensk Mineral fertilizers, OJSC. June, 2008 – Voskresensk Mineral fertilizers, OJSC was included into URALCHEM, OJSC.

General	The PhosAgro holding company was established along with the PhosAgro AG management company, which assumed the management of current production and business activities and developed the production capacities of recently acquired Apatit, Voskresensk Mineral Fertilisers and Balakovo Mineral Fertilisers. PhosAgro is a Russian vertically integrated company and one of the world’s leading producers of phosphate-based fertilisers. Its core line of business is the production of phosphate-based fertilisers, high-grade phosphate rock (P2O5>35.7%), and also feed phosphates, nitrogen fertilisers and ammonia. PhosAgro’s primary assets include Apatit, PhosAgro-Cherepovets (established as a result of the merger of Ammophos and Cherepovetsky Azot), Agro-Cherepovets, Balakovo branch of OJSC Apatit, Metachem, PhosAgro-Trans, PhosAgro-Region and NIUIF. The Company is Europe’s largest producer of phosphate-based fertilisers, the world’s largest producer of high-grade phosphate rock and the world’s second largest producer (excluding China) of MAP and DAP (according to Fertecon), Russia’s only producer of feed monocalcium phosphate (MCP), and also the sole producer of nepheline concentrate in Russia. VMF, OJSC is one of the top four Russian producers of phosphate fertilizers, fodder additives, phosphoric and sulphuric acid. VMF, OJSC is located in Voskresensk, one of the industrial centers in the Moscow region, 88 km away to the South-East from Moscow. Production capacities of the enterprise form a compact complex on a separate territory. NP fertilizers, such as MAP and DAP, used for all types of soils and crops are the key products manufactured at Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers. In addition, the enterprise produces various grades of phosphoric and sulphuric acids and phosphoric acid based salts. The plant has annual production capacities of 750 thousand tonnes of mono-ammonium phosphate (MAP) and di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), 200 thousand tonnes of ammonia, 320 thousand tonnes of phosphoric acid and 1,050 thousand tonnes of sulphuric acid. In 2007 Voskresensk Mineral Fertilizers produced approximately 320 thousand tonnes of MAP, 260 thousand tonnes of DAP, 175 thousand tonnes of ammonia, 300 thousand tonnes of phosphoric acid and 900 thousand tonnes of sulphuric acid. All the products are of high quality and comply with Russian and international standards. Apatite is the key feedstock used in the plant’s production process. Today, it is purchased from third parties. Industrial development of Sordinskiy plot of Vyatsko-Kamsk rock phosphate reserve is planned for the closest years and will enable URALCHEM to replace the purchased apatite concentrate with its own feedstock. The enterprise is certified in accordance with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 and has always had a good standing on both international and domestic market.
