# The Ukraine Crisis and India’s Fertiliser Security - MP-IDSA

> An MP-IDSA commentary argues that the Russia-Ukraine war and Black Sea disruptions have strained global food security and fertiliser supply. Russia is a major exporter of nitrogen, potash and phosphate fertilisers, and prices escalated in the early months of the conflict. India has responded with the One Nation One Fertiliser scheme, subsidies and increased imports of Russian fertiliser.
