The Fertilizer Institute estimates Belarus could supply 1 million to 1.5 million metric tons of potash to the United States annually, equivalent to 8% to 12% of U.S. imports in 2025. However, established buyers and freight constraints make a major shift unlikely, with Canada continuing to provide most U.S. imports.
The purchasing agreement was announced by President Donald Trump in September 2026.
Potential Belarusian supply could add to U.S. import availability, but logistical and commercial barriers limit the threat to Canadian shipments and the scale of any price impact. The likely effect on U.S. potash supply is modest.
