US Increases Imports of Russian Fertilizers in July
The United States has increased purchases of one of the key Russian goods.
After three months of declining demand, Russian fertilizer exports grew by 16%.
This conclusion was made by RIA Novosti experts who studied statistical data on US exports.
Sales of nitrogen fertilizers showed a noticeable increase: the US purchased 1.7 times more of them in the second month of summer.
The total amount spent on fertilizers is estimated at $62.4 million. In June, the United States purchased fertilizers for $53.8 million.
In March, however, the total amount of exported products was significantly higher. The US spent $174.2 million that month.
Over the next three months, exports declined, but now they are growing again.
Thanks to this, Russia took second place among fertilizer suppliers to the United States: its share increased to 12%. The largest amount of fertilizer comes from Canada: in July alone, the United States spent $295.9 million on it.
It is noted that in addition to Russia and Canada, fertilizers are supplied to the United States by Israel, Jordan and Lebanon.
