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

Perhaps the title speculates that Biden's Economic Sanctions will be used to destroy any nation or leader that trades with Russia, thus negating world trade with Brazil.
Russia Continues To Supply Fertilizers To Brazil Despite War, Says Agriculture Ministry
For the government, this shipment shows that despite the difficulties in the departure of ships from Russia, the sale of fertilizers is not suspended.

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL - Despite restrictions on the supply of fertilizers, Russia has not stopped deliveries to Brazil, according to the Ministry of Agriculture.
However, as a result of the war, there are difficulties in transporting and paying for the products, as Russian banks have been excluded from the Swift system, the world's main financial system.
Nevertheless, last Friday (4) a ship of the Russian company Acron was sent to Brazil with a new cargo of fertilizer, according to the brochure.
When asked about the amount of fertilizer shipped, the Ministry of Agriculture did not provide an answer.

Before reading comments, I went searching for BRICS and fertilizer. Of course, it is not to be found in any English print media, but Portuguese, Spanish. Russian, Chinese..you get the picture.
It seems BRICS is looking for ways to supply each other, support each other economically, and use the US Sanctions to their benefit. Petrobas and Brazil have fertilizer production partnerships, and short of the US physically impeding or seizing shipments like we did in Venezuela with fuel, I think Brazil will not feel the impact of this.
BRICS Countries just had a meeting today to affirm their mutual support for each other.
