India: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine - Impact on Fertilizer Supply and Use in India's Agricultural Sector

Black Sea regional producers Ukraine and Russia are significant suppliers to India of nitrogen and potassic fertilizers utilized in agricultural production. FAS New Delhi sources indicate that a short supply of potassic fertilizers is unlikely to affect agricultural production prospects in the upcoming crop year in the major food grain belt of northwest India and the Indo Gangetic plains. However, select crops in India’s western and southern regions can be affected by short supplies as a drop in potassic fertilizer applications will impact the stress tolerance and quality performance of some crops. Fertilizer prices are expected to increase in the upcoming season.
