Brazilian farmers left without Belarusian fertilizers

13 апреля 2022

Brazil may lose a great share of its crops. The country's agriculture is more than 70% dependent on international supplies of fertilizers, but the logistics from Belarus and Russia are disrupted because of Western sanctions. Last year our country exported to Brazil over 2 million tons of fertilizers totaling 580 million dollars. Brazil buys potassium on the Russian market. Besides, Russia accounts for 100% of ammonium nitrate supplies as well. Cutting off fertilizer imports threatens Brazilian farmers with the loss of crops. This will particularly affect coffee plantations.
