Ukraine's Cabinet expanded its ban on goods imported from Russia to include mineral fertilizers, animal feed and veterinary medicines, effective July 1, 2019.

Losing Russian potash and phosphate supply during peak application could raise fertilizer prices and affect Ukrainian yields next year. Restrictions on imported animal feed could also redirect regional feed trade.
