MOSCOW. July 11 (Interfax) - Acron Group increased goods production 12% to 4.6 million tonnes in the first half of 2025, the company said.
Mineral fertilizer production rose 9% to 3.7 million tonnes.
Industrial production grew 24% to 743,000 tonnes, largely thanks to increased production of industrial ammonium nitrate.
