Russia boosts fertilizer exports to Africa 15% in H1 2023, 2.5x over decade

Russian fertilizer producers increased exports to Africa by 15% year-on-year in H1 2023, continuing a decade-long trend of 2.5x growth to a record 2.5 million tons. This reflects Russia's strategic pivot to African markets amid Western sanctions, potentially strengthening its geopolitical influence while addressing African food security needs. The data is self-reported by industry association RAPU, so figures are unverified.
