The state needs to support the sector of small and medium-scale chemistry, which is highly dependent on unfriendly countries, Denis Manturov, head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, said in the State Duma.
„The sector of small- and medium-scale chemistry is now largely dependent on the supply of materials from unfriendly countries. To remove the risks for related industries, it is necessary to master the production of 10 basic molecules of high processing, from which we can produce up to 1,000 new products. These projects can only be implemented with the support of from the state due to the extremely limited market, but their critical importance,” he said.
