Belarus is working with other countries to sell its potash internationally. On Tuesday, Belarus’ president said potash shipments had been rerouted to Russia to export after Lithuania stopped shipping the fertilizer to its port. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said today the country was discussing shipping Belarusian potash via Russian ports. However, he didn’t think the transport had started.

Meanwhile, Indian officials suggested Belarus could open a rupee account with a state-run Indian bank so the country could purchase 1 MMT of potash. U.S. and EU sanctions prevent Belarus from dollar and euro trade.
