Abstract

In the coming years in the world and in Russia expected faster growth of input of new capacity for the production of fertilizers compared to the demand for them that will lead to a serious strengthening of competition in international markets. In these circumstances, can clearly be identified the weaknesses of the domestic producers. The article analyzes their causes and the sources of advantages of Russian producers on international markets, the constraints to increasing production of mineral fertilizers, the efficiency of investment in the industry, opportunities to increase sales, including exports, as well as the tradeoff between capacity expansion for the production of products and capabilities of its sales.
