Acron reported operating results for the full year of 2017. For the period, the company continued to set records and increased the output of its key commercial products by 13% to 7.3 million tonnes. The mineral fertiliser output was up 16% to 6.1 million tonnes. These record-high results were possible due to sustainable operation of the new ammonia unit launched in 2016 in Veliky Novgorod and ongoing upgrades of the main production units at Novgorod-based Acron and Dorogobuzh. Total commercial output for Industrial Products was 1,003,000 tonnes against of 929,000 tonnes a year ago. Total commercial output for apatite concentrate was 269,000 tonnes against of 339,000 tonnes a year ago.
