There is a shortage of gas in Russia for the production of carbonated beverages.
In Russia, large companies engaged in the production of cool beverages, complain about difficulties with the purchase of carbon dioxide. They appeared in late May early June, and the lack of this ingredient is still estimated at 10-15%. RosZMI writes about it.
There are drinks, but there is no gas
According to the general director of MKBK “Ochakovo” Yuri Antonov, during the last two weeks the company is experiencing a “critical shortage” of carbon dioxide and is forced to adjust its production program.
Carbon dioxide is a by-product of fertilizer production. One of RosZMI's interlocutors noted that the supply of fertilizers to foreign markets began to decline due to the crisis and the war in Ukraine. He also said that the demand for carbon dioxide from other industries, such as chemical, could increase, and some plants that produce CO2 are likely to have begun scheduled repairs.
