Attempts to isolate Belarus from the global mineral fertilizer market are counterproductive, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said as he met with Qu Dongyu, Director-General of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on 1 June, BelTA has learned.
“We are ready to contribute to supplying the world’s consumers with mineral fertilizers. Moreover, Belarusian producers account for about 20% of all mineral fertilizers in the world. Therefore, any sanctions restrictions, any attempts to isolate Belarus from the global mineral fertilizer market are counterproductive and have a very negative impact on providing the planet’s population with food,” the Belarusian leader said.
