The report is devoted to studying of lime market in Russia and Central Federal District. The report includes 6 Sections, 146 pages, including 35 Tables, 35 Figures and Appendix. The report is a desk study. As information sources, data of Federal Service of State Statistics (Rosstat), Federal Customs Service of Russia (FCS), official domestic railage statistics of Ministry of Railways of Russia, data of companies, received in the course of telephone interviews with their leaders, the sector and regional press, annual and quarterly repots of companies, internet-sites of company-producers of lime were used.

The first Section presents review of modern technologies of lime production, comparative characteristics of lime production facilities, description of some Russian and foreign producers of facilities for lime production and engineering/servicing companies.

The second Section is devoted to production of lime in Russia. The report contains official statistics of output of building and technological lime in the country in 1997-2007, data on regional structure of the production and volumes of lime production by various producers. The Section contains description of current standing of leading players of Russian lime market, including ownership pattern, available production capacities, lime roasting (kilning or burning) technologies, volumes of production, range and quality of products, flows (destinations) and volumes of lime supplies. The section also describes plans of the business development: available projects on organizing new and modernisation of operating lime productions.

The third Section analyses data of Federal Customs Service of Russia on foreign trade operations in lime. It presents data on volumes of exports and imports of lime in 2000 - 8 first months of 2007 in bulk and in money terms, with data on regional structure of export-import supplies on the whole and by the main Russian exporters and importers of lime.

The fourth Section is devoted to consumption of lime in Russia and Central Federal District and contains supply-demand balance of lime, as well as presents estimate of sectoral (“by end-uses”) and regional structure of consumption of lime with analysis of effect of seasonality factor on supplies of lime, as well as estimates regional and sectoral structure of lime consumption in Russia as a whole and Central Federal District (CFD) and seasonality of the supplies.

The fifth Section is devoted to analysis of price conjuncture of Russian lime market. The Section presents dynamics of release prices on lime of Russian producers in 2001-2007, current prices of some producers, analysis of dynamics of export-import prices and forecast of price conjuncture of Russian lime market up to 2010.

The sixth Section presents forecast of lime production in Russia and Central Federal District up to 2015, as well as forecast of consumption of lime in Russia and Central Federal District in 2007-2015, prepared on the basis of forecast of development of lime end-uses.

The Appendix contains contact information on leading Russian producers of lime.
