# Acron’s nitrogen fertilizer output increases 11% from 2017-2018; further gains expected

> Russian fertilizer producer Acron reported 2018 nitrogen output up 11% to 4.24m tonnes, with urea production up 15% to 1.02m tonnes. Ammonium nitrate supply rose as Ukraine banned Russian AN and EU anti-dumping tariffs blocked Russian product, and new urea capacity came online in late 2018.
