Sibur Holding is considering buying stock in PhosAgro, which plans to sell shares in an initial public offering next month.
The board will discuss a stock purchase at a June 28 meeting, Sibur said Friday in a regulatory filing. Sibur said it might buy shares or Global Depositary Receipts in PhosAgro.
Sibur is looking at investments in fertilizer producers to boost the value of its own unit, which may later be spun off or sold, spokesman Rashid Nureyev said Friday. The Sibur-Minudobreniya unit accounts for 6 percent of Russia's nitrogen fertilizers.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
