Data from the German statistical office revealed on Wednesday that Germany's imports of Russian fertilizers increased 3.3-fold to a record $151.3 million in the first half of 2023.

German imports of fertilizers from Russia in the first six months of 2023 were $151.3 million, up from an average of $45.5 million in the previous five years. This is the highest figure since at least 2008 when Germany began publishing data on fertilizer imports.

The previous record of $105.2 million in fertilizer imports from Russia was set in 2016, with a record high of 395,000 tonnes.

This year, Germany's purchases of Russian fertilizers increased by 2.8 times to 361,500 tonnes, marking the second-largest amount of fertilizer imports from Russia ever recorded.
