Time to ban Russian fertilizer

[theHawk]

Since we are about to ban Russian oil and gas, why stop there?

What’s with the half measures?

Russia is the #1 exporter in the world for fertilizer.
Who really needs to grow food anyway? Just stupid flyover country right?

Top countries for NPK Fertilizer Exports

Morocco increased 13.4% of NPK Fertilizer Exports in 2019, from a year earlier.

Russia’s new export ban on ammonium nitrate, which runs through April 1, is aimed at keeping more of its fertilizer supplies at home and controlling domestic prices. The move follows China’s ban on phosphate fertilizer exports that runs until June 2022.

Although the United States is not a direct buyer of Russian ammonium nitrate, Russia’s new export ban will likely result in higher fertilizer prices in the US. Since last year, urea cash prices are up nearly 90% in the US Midwest, and DAP futures prices are up nearly 30%.

US farmers will begin planting their spring crops soon. Higher fertilizer prices will impact production costs and could steer growers’ 2022 acreage decisions away from fertilizer-heavy corn crops.

Russia Bans Fertilizer Exports; Will Weigh on Brazil Corn Crop

Brazil, the top importer of ammonium nitrate fertilizer from Russia, will begin planting its large second corn crop in the next few weeks

and I imagine they will want to ban it for more than 2 months.

PanFaWar is Here
Chances are extremely high of tens or hundreds of millions dying of PanFaWar in next several years.
Notice they blame Putin for the lot. The reality is that this elective war creates additive stresses that can, and likely will, lead to toppling of governments. Mass migrations. Possibly a toppling of various State governments in the United States, and even of the Federal Government. And all this is without a use of a single WMD other than hunger and other forms of silent attack such as fake ‘vaccines.’
That said, chances that nuclear weapons will be employed has never been higher other than just before bombs detonated over Japan. We are toe-to-toe with World War III. Even short of nuclear weapons, conditions are growing to create massive starvations that would make the term Biblical entirely appropriate.
Consquences of failure to prepare may be final.
Prediction: By 2025,
or even 2024, human population on earth will decrease.

Putin’s energy shock is broadening into a world food crisis, so brace for rationing

I see a virtual shitstorm coming here in the corn belt for the farming industry this season. Fertilizer was already up 300% in some places, because of inflation, and now a ban on Russian exports?

Almost 50% of the corn grown in the US goes into making ethanol for the gasoline mix, which could make the price of gasoline even more ridiculous over the next year or two.

From what I understand, ethanol is a net energy loser. Maybe we should end the subsidies and put the land to more productive use?

I'm all for it. Ethanol-laced as sucks.
