# Nutrien to further boost potash output amid Belarus sanctions - MINING.COM

> Nutrien will raise 2021 potash output by 500,000 tonnes, bringing total annual sales volumes to 13.8 million tonnes, on top of a similar increase announced June 7. The move follows coordinated Western sanctions on Belarus, including a ban on potash imports from state-owned Belaruskali, which produces about 20% of global supply.
