Fertilizers were the central topic of a meeting held on Tuesday (April 12) at the Agricultural Parliamentary Front (FPA), which was attended by Sergey Lukashevich, Belarus’s ambassador to Brazil. The eastern European ambassador emphasized that the discussion intended to map out new routes for fertilizer distribution, which is now stalled. He also underlined the importance of shortening the path between Brazilian rural producers and European potash manufacturers. “We discussed bilateral solutions to restore potash shipments from Belarus to Brazil. We now have to work on a new style, with direct contact between Brazil’s agricultural players and Belarusian producers,” commented Lukashevich. FPA representatives agreed and said they have been working to eliminate the need for intermediaries in fertilizer negotiations. Belarus accounts for over 20% of Brazilian potassium chloride imports.
