Ilham Aliyev: Azerbaijan supplies not only itself but also many other countries with nitrogen fertilizers

Today, as a result of the operations of the Carbamide Plant, Azerbaijan supplies not only itself but also many other countries with nitrogen fertilizers, President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev said today at a meeting dedicated to agricultural issues, Report informs.

"However, this is just one type of fertilizer. We require many different types of fertilizers. Therefore, these matters are currently being discussed with certain foreign companies regarding the establishment of mixed fertilizer production in Azerbaijan, as well as ensuring the uninterrupted import of fertilizers into our country. This is because the global situation regarding these matters is currently uncertain," President Ilham Aliyev said.

"Some fertilizer plants have shut down because when the price of gas rises sharply, fertilizer production ceases to be economically viable, creating certain shortages. Therefore, from a pragmatic standpoint, we must understand that while we will not be able to produce all types of fertilizers, we must nevertheless expand their variety."
