Production of Potash in 2022: 3,000,000 metric tons

Being one of the largest producers of potash in the world, Belarus accounted for around 17.6% of total global supply back in 2020. The total potash production in 2021 was around 7.6 million tons, revealing a YoY decrease of over 60%. This decline comes as a consequence of the Russia-Ukraine war and the related sanctions by the EU and the US. One of the key players in the market is the state-owned company Belaruskali.
