# Ukraine government bans the import of fertilizers from Russia • AIPH

> Ukraine's Cabinet expanded its ban on goods imported from Russia to include mineral fertilizers, animal feed and veterinary medicines, effective July 1, 2019. Experts disagree on the impact, with some warning of potash and phosphate shortages during the key input season and others saying suppliers can switch to alternative sources.

## Why it matters

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.
