In 1963 the First integrated potassium plant was put into operation, in 1965 - the Second one, and in 1969 - the Third integrated potassium plant began functioning. In 1970, on the basis of the three operating integrated plants, was established the production amalgamation "Beloruskali". In 1979 was put into operation the Forth integrated potassium plant. It is done, the productive capacities of the amalgamation reached 5,5 million tons of fertilizers a year in terms of 100 per cent content of potash oxid.
