How to Keep Afloat an Investment in the Chemical Fertilizer Industry

As the only phosphorus-based fertilizer manufacturer in Romania, the Năvodari Chemical Fertilizer Company owns 10% of the internal fertilizer market and intends to expand its business to foreign markets as well. The Năvodari Chemical Fertilizer Company was built in 1956. After 1990, it went bankrupt and was decommissioned and left so for the next ten years. In 2002, after a few investments, the factory started to produce simple fertilizers. Later on, the factory entered a retrofitting plan. In 2010, following further investments, the factory began to manufacture complex chemical fertilizers. A new investment stage followed in 2016.
