A globalização dos mercados agrícolas: Uma breve reflexão geral sobre as relações Brasil e Rússia no mercado de fertilizantes pós Guerra da Ucrânia

Abstract

The following work addresses the topic of commercial relations between Brazil and Russia, in the context of the Ukrainian War or Russian special military operation on Ukrainian soil, to make correlations between Brazilian agribusinesses. Fertilizers are essential inputs for good global agricultural production, but Brazil, being a large agricultural country, cannot produce its own fertilizer and needs to import this commodity; Russia being its biggest partner in this trade. They were analyzed from the international geopolitical scenario that changed global value chains to statistical relationships on the subject, including the consumption of fertilizers by state of the federation, between the years 2013 and 2022, and subsequently a deeper analysis of the situation between January 2018 to August 2023. The various components considered in this work considered countries that were alternatives for the moment of acute crisis in the global geopolitical scenario, caused by COVID and the Ukrainian War, even as the price of our main export grain, soybeans, was affected by the lack of availability of fertilizers and the increase in input prices.
