GOMEL, 16 November (BelTA) - Gomel Chemical Plant has done a good job to redirect exports, Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said as he toured the plant on 16 November, BelTA has learned.
Gomel Chemical Plant is one of the leading enterprises of the country's petrochemical industry. It is the largest producer of phosphorus-containing mineral fertilizers in Belarus that has countered the sanctions. "The company had a very difficult situation as it virtually the entire volume of exports went to Ukraine and the European Union. Ukraine accounted for 40% of the company's exports and the European Union and other countries for 60%. Now the proportions remain practically the same but the majors markets are the Russian Federation and other countries," Roman Golovchenko explained.
According to the prime minister, today the chemical plant operates at full capacity. "It has no problems with sales, meets with all the indicators. This is a good example of real efforts to redirect exports. Almost 100% of the market was lost, and in just a few months they built new schemes and new supply chains," he stressed.
