The chairman of Russian fertiliser company Uralchem, Dmitry Mazepin, has met with Kenya's President Uhuru Kenyatta during a two-day trip aimed at forging deeper ties with the African nation. As Kenya wants to develop an independent and sustainable agriculture sector, which does not rely on heavy government subsidies, Uralchem and rival firm Uralkali have agreed to expand their presence in Kenya by cooperating with large agricultural organisations, and investing in port infrastructure, as well as entering into joint mining projects. Uralchem also seeks to build a hub in Zimbabwe to export fertilisers to other African nations.
