OAO Belaruskali plans to inject nearly $350 million in its modernization in 2015, BelTA learnt from Belaruskali Director General Ivan Golovaty.
The resources will be used to conduct building operations, increase the production capacity of the granulated product and other projects. “We plan to complete the upgrade within the next two years in order to increase the output of the granulated product to 80%,” the Director General said. Today the share of granulated products in Belaruskali\'s production makes up nearly 60%.
