MEETING

the growing demand

MEETING

the growing demand

In November 2022, the world’s population exceeded eight billion people and may hit the ten billion mark by 2050. In this context, the use of fertilizers is one of the most promising ways to avert the global threat of hunger, and constructive cooperation between international organisations, governments, fertilizer producers and consumers is critical to maintaining resilient and reliable global fertilizer production and supply chains.

Despite normal temporary fluctuations, the long-term growth in global demand for mineral fertilizers has been steady. In Russia and the CIS, consumption grew by 6% in 2022. Building on PhosAgro’s contribution to meeting this growing demand, we further increased production in 2022.
