Moscow, Dec 29 (SocialNews.XYZ) Russia's export of mineral fertilizers may drop by 15 per cent this year, better than a 20-per cent reduction projected in the summer, said a top official.
Andrey Guryev, head of the Russian Fertilizer Producers Association, said the export drop is due to Western sanctions imposed in the wake of Moscow's ongoing war against Ukraine, reports Xinhua news agency.
Starting from June to July, Russian producers increased supplies to the markets of "friendly countries", said Guryev.
Guryev said that Russian companies reduced supplies of potassium and phosphate to Europe and increased the supply of mineral fertilizers to India and the Middle East, mainly Turkey.
In addition, the share of Russian fertilizers in the market of African countries has significantly increased, he added.
