"The recovery in crop commodity prices, followed by increasing fertilizer demand, allowed Uralkali to reach pre-crisis production volume levels in 2010, and the same is true for Silvinit. As the potash market continues to advance, both companies intend to increase their production assets further via investment projects and organic growth. Uralkali expects its production and sales to rise further this year after the proposed merger with Silvinit is completed. Once the regulatory approvals have been obtained and the merger has been completed, the combined company’s production capacities and investment projects will enable the group to produce 13 million tonnes of potash in 2012. This will make it one of the global potash market leaders."
