KYIV, Nov 7 – Dniproazot has resumed operation of its nitric workshops following a shutdown caused by sharp rise in gas prices.

"Despite all obstacles, unstable financial situation and other economic difficulties we have implemented some programs, thanks to which Dniproazot stops being idle and resumes operation of the nitric workshops," the enterprise reported on its website.

As reported, since April 2018, PJSC Ukrnafta stopped processing gas at the facilities of Dniproazot, transferred to its sale through the exchange and under bilateral contracts. Ukrnafta previously leased the capacities of Dniproazot for processing its own gas into mineral fertilizers. Ukrnafta sold ammonia produced in this way to Dniproazot.
