I thought Brazil and Russia were pals.
They are definitely economic partners. Russia had already severely limited these exports for six months back in November. From Fertilizer Daily 11/4/21
“Chairman of the Russian government Mikhail Mishustin announced the six-months limitation of exports of two groups of mineral fertilizers from Russia to prevent the rise in food prices.”
Even before the sanctions world wide fertilizer importers were in bad shape for 2022. One thing for sure, Brazil will get access before Kansas or Saskatchewan farmers do.
Both in BRICS, I think this will be solved.
