Farms.com published an article writing that with a Covid-19 weary world, the invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and abetted by Belarus, the global ag sector is in flux. With Russia and Belarus major suppliers of fertilizers for farming, since the Autumn of 2021 countries have initiated sanctions and export restrictions on foods and fertilizer from Russia and Belarus as a means to punish them for their aggressive behavior on the world stage. Restrictions include bans, taxes, and any other method to stop exports. According to IFPRI, (See tool, Food & Fertilizer Export Restrictions Tracker), there were 10 global export restrictions around the world between September 2021 and before the Ukraine invasion in February 2022.  Since the invasion, the IFPRI found that through the end of May 2022 there had been 57 announcements of export restrictions.
