# Turkey complains about US and EU sanctions on Belarus fertilizer shipments

> Turkey has complained that US and EU sanctions on Belarus restrict potash fertilizer shipments, including transit through the country. Belarus once held about 20 percent of global potassium fertilizer trade, and its share has since fallen to about 10 percent. Restricted supply has contributed to a drop in global potash output and exports.
