Russia will limit its exports of two- and three-component fertilizers containing nitrogen to a total quota of 5.53M tons over six months since December 2021. As European manufactures reduce NPK production owing to the energy crisis, Russian export restrictions could lead to a fertilizer shortage in the EU market and stimulate price growth. Poland, Romania, Latvia, Finland, and Spain significantly rely on NPK fertilizer imports from Russia. The Russian Federation remains the leading world’s supplier, accounting for 30% of global NPK fertilizer exports. China, Brazil and India comprise the largest importers of NPK fertilizers from Russia.
