The can of coffee that I buy has gone up $4.00 per can over the last 30 days.
Brazil has been having freezing and drought problems too.
I think Brazil has all the resources to make their own fertilizer, anyone know why they don't?
Brazilian land area is about the same size as the 48 US states.
With a population of about 200 million, 50% self identified as Black.

Well Brazil can just buy the fertilizer from Russia or is Russia not allowing it?

Story is Not true. Just before the Invasion, Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro visited Russia to confirm Brazil’s fertilizer shipments.

who said Brazil is not getting fertilizer? I could see perhaps some ITAR style regulation to ensure America does not benefit directly, but what is the reasoning behind Russia punishing Brazil?

Natural gas is used extensively in the production of fertilizer. It is also burned off in many wells because that is the cheapest way of dealing with it. If someone could make truck sized units that converted this methane into fertilizer they could make a lot of money given how expensive fertilizer has become.

Why isn't every country self-sufficient in fertilizer production?
It's not as though the components are rare or isolated.

I suspect Russia will cut a deal with them - but payment will be something other than US Dollars.
They are cutting deals China and India - including Brazil would be all the “BRICS”

The purchase for residential or golf course use of fertilizer could be outlawed.
American lawns may not be so green, but food production could be maintained.

No other nation in the world relies on foreign fertilizer than Brazil.
Pathetic. They BOLDED this sentence, and it doesn't even make sense. Missing a 'than' in there...
