Turkey is working to finalize an agreement with Russia to ensure a stable supply of fertilizer, particularly nitrogen and phosphate, as disruptions in the Persian Gulf threaten import preparations for the upcoming planting season. According to a report by Bloomberg, citing the Turkish Agriculture Ministry, a memorandum of understanding is expected to be signed today. The agreement proposes exemptions for fertilizer shipments destined for Turkey from broader Russian export restrictions. These Gulf supply disruptions are creating challenges for Turkish farmers preparing for planting. Securing this deal with Russia is therefore vital for Turkey’s agricultural sector. The agreement aims to stabilize fertilizer access and safeguard the upcoming harvest. The report first appeared on Turkish Minute.
