An analyst described Belarus’s potash industry as important to its exports and global food security, citing the effect of potash fertilizer on crop yields. He said the Nezhinsky mining and processing project could add about 2 million tonnes of output, but its foreign investor and prospective German engineering partner withdrew after sanctions threats, leaving the state to continue the project.
The project could add supply if completed, but investor withdrawals and sanctions-related risks create uncertainty over Belarusian output and exports. That uncertainty could support potash prices if it limits supply.
