Russia limits fertilizer exports to 20 million tons through November 2026

The Russian government has set export quotas on mineral fertilizers from June 1 to November 30, 2026, to maintain stable domestic availability during the agricultural season.

The total quota is 20 million tonnes, with more than 8.7 million tonnes for nitrogen fertilizers, over 4.2 million tonnes for ammonium nitrate, and upwards of 7 million tonnes for complex fertilizers. This measure aims to prevent domestic supply shortages and support uninterrupted operations for farmers, compound feed producers, and other key consumers.

The restrictions will not apply to shipments destined for Abkhazia and South Ossetia, nor to fertilizer exports transiting through Russia as part of international logistics flows. Supplies designated as international humanitarian aid are also exempt from the quota system.
