SPIEF-2026: Uralchem’s CEO Speaks at the Russia — APEC Session

Dmitry Konyaev, the CEO of Uralchem JSC, took part in the Russia — APEC: Broad Cooperation Horizons up to 2035 session held as part of the 29th St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF-2026). The event brought together representatives of key government and business structures from member economies of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).

Discussions revolved around securing supply of Russian mineral fertilisers to APEC member states amid a global shortage and rising prices for certain fertiliser types. Dmitry Konyaev noted that Uralchem Group’s fertiliser shipments to APEC economies have more than doubled since 2022 to reach 6.5 million tonnes in 2025.
