# Trump's Belarus potash deal unlikely to have much U.S. impact - Fertilizer Daily

> The Fertilizer Institute estimates Belarus could add 1 to 1.5 million metric tons of potash a year to U.S. supply, about 8% to 12% of 2025 U.S. imports of 12.6 million tons. Canada supplies 85% to 90% of U.S. potash and would remain the main source. Belarusian potash already has buyers, mostly China, and shipments to the U.S. would need an ocean voyage and an inland barge trip.

## Why it matters

Limited extra supply is unlikely to shift U.S. potash prices much, since logistics and existing buyer commitments constrain volumes. The effect on feed-ingredient costs is minimal.
