Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said his country cannot meet U.S. President Donald Trump's demands for potash, a key fertilizer. He made the remark in a meeting with the head of the Belarusian state customs authority.
Belarus produces around 6 million metric tons a year, and existing contracts are among the constraints cited.
If Belarus cannot supply the extra potash the U.S. wants, global potash availability stays tighter, which supports fertilizer prices and raises crop input costs for feed grain producers.
