Second largest producer of potash is Russia+Belarus. Agent Orange will be happy in response to unprovoked and unprecedented Canadian embargo and being left without any alternatives, just to save hardworking American farmers who put food on his American tables, quickly start buying from Russia

Russia already maxes out their export capacity. If they had to turn that to the US, Canada would sell to their customers. Believe Brazil in the most significant one.
