OAO Uralkali named Dmitry Osipov chief executive officer of the world’s largest potash producer after a change in the Russian company’s owners that could see it revive a trading venture with Belarus for the key soil nutrient.
Osipov is deputy chairman of OAO Uralchem, which has bought a 20 percent stake in Uralkali, and his replacement of Vladislav Baumgertner takes effect tomorrow, Uralkali said in a statement today. Baumgertner is under house arrest in Moscow under a charge of abuse of office in his capacity as chairman of the potash venture with Belarus.
