Atlantic Council analysis examines calls to sanction Belarus's state potash producer Belaruskali, which controls about one-fifth of the global market. Allegations surfaced that the company sold potash below market prices in China and India, prompting dumping claims.
Expanding sanctions to large state firms carries risks, including Russian-backed takeovers of Belarusian assets.
Sanctions on Belaruskali could tighten global potash supply and lift prices, since the company is a major exporter. The outcome remains uncertain, so buyers should monitor policy developments.
