The Republican Unitar Company Production Association Belaruskali is one of the largest potash producers in the world.
The company is based in Salihorsk in Belarus , where all four of the company's mines are located ( Starobin potash deposits ). Belaruskali employs around 20,000 people and produces around 15% of the world's potash fertilizers.
history
The Starobin potash deposits were discovered in 1949. Industrial potash mining began in 1961. In 1963 the first Salihorsk potash combine was put into operation; the second and third followed in 1965 and 1969, respectively. The three combines were combined to form the Belaruskali Combine in 1970 and reorganized in 1975 to form the Belaruskali Production Union . In 1979 Belaruskali put Salihorsk Potash Plant 4 into operation. In 2014 Belaruskali was spun off from the Belneftekhim Conglomerate, a large state-owned industrial group.
distribution
The production is delivered to more than 50 countries in Europe, Africa, Asia and America.
The sale was made in 2006 initially exclusively through the Belarusian Potash Company Ltd. (Belarusian Potash Company - BPC), a collaboration with the Russian potash producers Uralkali AG and the Belarusian railways Belarusian Railway -run distribution company.
At the end of July 2013, Uralkali announced that it would stop the sale of its production via the Belarusian Potash Company AG and market it itself, since Belaruskali had done several transactions past the joint sales company since December 2012. As a result, there were fears on the international financial markets that the world market price for potash would fall significantly, as a result of which the share prices of several potash producers collapsed. The share of the German potash producer K + S fell by more than 25%. In a press release on August 19, 2013 Belaruskali described the statements by Uralkali CEO Baumgertner as "provocative, emotional, unprecedented and unwise" and suspected that the move was based on "private interests of the Uralkali shareholders" and "personal ambitions of some of their executives". Belaruskali has no intention of relaunching the partnership with Uralkali under their current management. A week later, Baumgertner was arrested on his return trip from a meeting with the Belarusian Prime Minister Mikhail Mjasnikowitsch at Minsk airport; The Belarusian authorities accuse him of abusing his office "for the purpose of personal gain " in the course of his work as Chairman of the Belarusian Potash Company . In addition, international arrest warrants have been issued for four other Uralkali top managers.
