“The current export quotas for Russian producers of mineral fertilizers have been temporarily increased by 501,000 tons,” the Cabinet website said in a statement.

This decision will be valid until May 31, 2022.

The measure affects complex fertilizers containing two or three nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. 

Earlier it was reported that France was concerned about the increase in prices for fertilizers against the backdrop of anti-Russian sanctions.

Prior to this, American and German farmers spoke about the impact of anti-Russian restrictions.
