> Russia extended its mineral-fertilizer export quotas outside the Eurasian Economic Union for six months, from December through May, while reducing the total quota by 6% to 18.8 million tonnes. The government said the lower limit is intended to protect domestic farmers ahead of spring planting; Russian nitrogen fertilizer output was down 5.5% year over year in January–August.

## Why it matters

The reduced quota could retain more fertilizer in Russia and limit export availability, tightening supply for overseas buyers and supporting prices. The article says the change is unlikely to materially constrain exports, and quotas may be expanded if production rises.
