The war between Russia and Ukraine keeps global agricultural production on alert because, from there, it is supplied with fertilizer production to various agricultural areas of the world. Despite the sustained increase in the price of key nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorous, the supply of the product remains in great doubt.
In an interview with the news agency Telam, the Secretary of Agriculture, Matías Lestani, maintained that “supply would be assured, we constantly monitor it,” and specified that “what is missing to finish the final campaign is 23% in volume ”.

Lestani also stated that they are working on the initial supply for the fine sowing and then they will focus on the summer crops of the new campaign.
In this regard, he stressed that, for winter crops, “that fertilization has to be yes or yes”, because he stressed that “it is the one that is later reinforced in the thick campaign, mainly in corn and also in soybeans.”
As part of this import process, “this is already planned and discussed with the companies. We got together with the Central Bank to regulate the profiling of what is needed for liquidation of foreign exchange for the entry of fertilizers, crucial to promote the fine “, which is wheat,” said Lestani, who explained that “the fine uses a fertilization strategy of the entire system.
