All eyes are on how an already disrupted supply chain will be further impacted by what’s happening between Russia, Ukraine and the rest of the world. Fertilizer is a big part of that conversation in the agriculture sector. Gaji Balakaneshan is the COO of Midwestern BioAg. He says the Russia, Belarus and Ukraine region is a huge player in ag from crops to fertilizer production. After the invasion, Midwestern BioAg halted fertilizer sales when all of its vendors pulled their prices, he explains. "I think everybody is on edge. We were, as an industry, not well positioned leading up to this in general. And this is just more fuel to the fire of what's going on in the fertilizer world." He says sales will return this week after price adjustments. Balakaneshan also lays out some silver linings amidst this crisis.
