Mission
Group DF sees great potential for growth in the global fertilizer market and is planning for OSTCHEM to continue expanding as a major global supplier. Still, the Ukrainian market remains a priority for OSTCHEM.
Leading world research centers forecast a global population of 9 billion by 2050. To satisfy the increased demand for food, experts estimate that global food production will have to rise by around 70%. This, in turn, will lead to growing global demand for fertilizers.
OSTCHEM’s mission is to address growing demand for food by offering advanced chemical solutions to the global agricultural industry.

Group DF’s M&A strategy for this business segment is to continue the acquisition and consolidation of new production facilities and to enter new markets around the world.
