Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Dehkanabad potash fertilizers plant in Kashkadarya region is planning to produce over 280,000 tonnes of potash fertilizers in 2015.
At the same time, the plant is planning to export 208,000 tonnes of potash fertilizers in 2015. The plant currently exports its products to UAE, Kazakhstan, China, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Iraq, Iran, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Turkey.
This year, the plant is planning to expand exports of its products and launch supplies to Sri Lanka, Singapore and some African states.
Uzbekistan started to construct Dehkanabad Plant on Production of Potash Fertilizers in 2007 on the base of Tyubegata potassium salts deposit. In 2008, Uzkimyosanoat inked agreements with Russia’s Zapodnouralskiy Machinjstroitelniy Kontsern and China’s CITIC Pacific Ltd on construction of the plant. In particular, the Russian firm will build mining complex and Chinese firm - processing plant.
In 2011, Russia’s Zapadno-Ural Machinery-Construction Concern (ZUMK) signed a contract with Uzkimyosanoat on expanding capacities of mining complex with the cost of US$128 million, while China’s CITIC Ltd inked an agreement with Uzkimyosanoat to expand enrichment complex for US$110 million.
The project was financed due to US$110.5 million loan of China Eximbank, resources of Uzkimyosanoat and Fund for Reconstruction and Development of Uzbekistan at the size of US$128.1 million.
Dehkanabad Plant on Production of Potash Fertilizers implements an investment project “Expanding production capacities of Dehkanabad Plant on Production of Potash Fertilizers (II stage)”.
Last year, CITIC fully completed construction of the second stage of processing complex. Currently, ZUMK is constructing mining-metallurgy combine with the capacity of 1.4 million ores a year and external electricity supply lines, 30 km rope road.
After completion of the works, the volume of potash fertilizers at the enterprise will reach 600,000 tonnes and ore mining – 2.1 million tonnes a year.
