MOSCOW, January 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ --
Andrey Guryev, President of the Russian Association of
Fertilizer Producers and CEO of PhosAgro, one of the world's
largest phosphate-based fertilizer producers, will participate in
the World Economic Forum's 49th Annual Meeting on 22-25 January 2019 in Davos, Switzerland.
The Russian government delegation to the World Economic Forum
will be headed by the Minister of Economic Development of the
Russian Federation Maxim Oreshkin. The World Economic Forum brings
together over 3,000 participants from more than 110 countries,
including the leaders of a number of countries and international
organisations. The key theme of the WEF 2019 Annual Meeting is
"Globalisation 4.0 Shaping a Global Architecture in the Age of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution."
PhosAgro CEO Andrey Guryev
commented: "As the world's population grows and arable land per
capita declines, international companies like PhosAgro face serious
challenges to ensure global food security with the help of the best
available technologies, as well as pure and safe fertilizers.
"For PhosAgro, in addition to this global topic, we have a
special interest in discussing such important issues as promising
ways to develop the mining sector and the mineral fertilizer
industry, forecasts for Russia and
other countries that, along with our priority domestic market, are
traditionally the main regions where our high-quality products are
consumed.
"I also look forward to discussions on new scientific ideas,
practical recommendations and solutions for high-tech companies
operating in the agricultural sector, expansion of extractive
capacities using advanced 'green' technologies, as well as
practices for maximising recycling or reprocessing of secondary raw
materials in the context of limited global reserves and
environmental protection for sustainable industrial production and
agriculture.
"It will also be interesting to discuss with Forum participants
the growing interest in protecting human health and the environment
in Europe and worldwide, a gradual
reduction of trade barriers for manufacturers from Russia, as well as deeper integration of
industry 4.0."
