Key events in the field of education

To sustain and strengthen this trend, the agricultural sector needs a new quality of management proficiency. This, in turn, requires an upgraded skill set among the human capital engaged in the agro‑industrial sector of Russia.

As one of the leaders in the domestic agrochemical industry and a reliable partner for farmers, PhosAgro Group plays a crucial role in the technological transformation of Russian agriculture. In addition to providing farmers with high‑quality and eco‑friendly mineral fertilizers, PhosAgro Group is actively involved in disseminating cutting‑edge scientific knowledge in the field of agriculture.

The Company has established a multi‑level system that contributes to the development of intellectual capital within the industry. It extends from supporting school programmes, secondary and higher education projects, and aiding existing agricultural producers to engaging in global scale initiatives.

At PhosAgro Group, we believe that the formula for sustainable soil fertility in our country lies in the combination of Russia's unique natural resources, cutting‑edge scientific knowledge, and, most importantly, the talent and hard work of our people.
