In a move shaping the flow of mineral fertilizer trade, Russia has raised its export quota for fertilizers through May 31 by 300,000 tons. The adjustment was formalized in a decree signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, per the government press office. This step reflects a broader set of measures aimed at stabilizing supply dynamics while balancing domestic needs.
The decree specifically increases the export quota for ammonium nitrate, a key component used by fertilizer producers. The government stressed that the additional capacity will permit exporters to move unclaimed final product residues, as long as the domestic market requirements are fully satisfied. This approach signals a careful calibration between export opportunities and internal consumption, ensuring adequate availability for farmers and related industries at home.

Officials noted that the total export quota will exceed 12.6 million tons, marking a substantial scale of anticipated shipments. A notable caveat remains: the policy does not extend to deliveries destined for Abkhazia and South Ossetia, reflecting geographic and geopolitical considerations embedded in the distribution framework.
Dmitry Patrushev, who previously led the Ministry of Agriculture, indicated that Russia is weighing further steps to constrain fertilizer exports if necessary. He suggested that the current rules already provide a mechanism to monitor and manage the market, helping to maintain balance between export revenues and domestic supply.

On March 23, the Russian Foreign Ministry reported tensions at the Kotka port in Finland, where individuals awaiting shipments of Russian fertilizers faced detentions as loading processes were underway. This incident occurs in a broader context where Moscow has tied the easing of export barriers for fertilizer and agricultural goods to the Black Sea grain corridor agreement, a framework enabling grain ships from Ukraine to reach international markets. The interaction between these arrangements and ongoing trade policies highlights the sensitivity of fertilizer shipments to diplomatic developments and security agreements surrounding grain exports.
