Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said at a regional development meeting that Belarus plans to expand nitrogen and phosphate fertilizer output and shift toward complex fertilizers. The Gomel chemical plant has a development program through 2030 and is building a water-soluble fertilizer workshop costing about $40 million, with capacity of up to 50,000 tonnes of monoammonium phosphate or a mix of MAP and monopotassium phosphate, targeted for completion within two years.
Added phosphate and complex fertilizer capacity from Belarus is a longer-term supply increase that could ease phosphate prices over time, though the impact is small and not immediate.
