potassium sulfate, local raw materials, mineral fertilizers, technological process, economic efficiency.Abstract
This article presents a scientific analysis of the technological and economic aspects of potassium sulfate (K₂SO₄) production based on locally available mineral raw materials in Uzbekistan. The study examines the types of potassium-bearing raw materials, their processing technologies, production efficiency, and key economic performance indicators. The results demonstrate that the utilization of local resources enables import substitution, reduces production costs, and ensures a stable supply of essential mineral fertilizers for agricultural use.
