BRASILIA (Reuters) – President Jair Bolsonaro met with Russian fertilizer makers in Moscow on Wednesday and said they would double their supply to Brazil, where farmers are facing shortages.
“We then had a meeting with entrepreneurs in this sector, in fertilizers: the supply of fertilizers for us will be doubled,” Bolsonaro said in an interview with Jovem Pan’s Os Pingos nos Is program.
Brazil depends on imports from other countries for 95% of its potash and is a major buyer of major suppliers Canada, Russia and Belarus. Last year, Brazil imported around 10 million tons.
