About this episode

Michael Fox interviews Farhad Abasov about the global fertilizer crisis and its implications on supply chains and market dynamics.

In this in-depth interview, Michael Fox sits down with Farhad Abasov, Chairman of Millennial Potash (TSX-V: MLP) (OTCQB: MLPNF) (FSE: X0D) , to break down how global conflicts—from the 2022 Ukraine-Russia war to tensions in the Gulf—have reshaped the fertilizer market. Discover how sanctions disrupted Belarusian potash exports, why Russia and Belarus redirected supply to China, India, and Brazil, and how tariffs, trade shifts, and supply concentration risks continue to influence global pricing. The conversation explores North America’s reliance on Canadian potash, vulnerabilities in nitrogen and phosphate supply chains, and why countries are rethinking long-term strategies for critical minerals. Learn how supply disruptions of up to 25% are impacting Asia, why energy markets matter for fertilizers, and what investors and governments must do to secure future food production. #FertilizerMarket #Potash #GlobalSupplyChain #UkraineWar #Commodities #Agriculture #FoodSecurity #Mining #Investing #EnergyCrisis #Geopolitics #CanadaMining
