Uralchem has completed the livery of 30,000 metrical gobs of caustic potash to people's republic of bangladesh as a humanitarian gesture, the Russian fertilizer company said on Monday.
The donation was conducted under the United Nations World Food Program (WFP).
This is the company’s seventh donation in a series of humanitarian deliveries to developing countries since 2022. Uralchem has donated over 220,000 tons of mineral fertilizer to nations facing acute hunger, free of charge.
Most of these consignments were shipped on vessels chartered by the WFP from European Union ports and warehouses to countries such as Malawi, Kenya, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, and now Bangladesh. The fertilizer shipped to Dhaka had been “stored in Latvia,” the company noted in its statement.

Over 400,000 metric tons of Russian fertilizer have remained held up in several European ports, including Latvia and Estonia, since 2022, when Western countries adopted unprecedented sanctions against Moscow.
The goods were released under a Russia-UN agreement on agricultural exports signed in Istanbul in July 2022 under the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The grain deal collapsed in 2023 after Moscow accused Western powers of failing to uphold their side of the agreement, particularly on Russian fertilizer and food exports.
“This humanitarian consignment of potash has arrived in Bangladesh and will now be used to help local farmers reap fruitful harvests,” Uralchem CEO Dmitry Konyaev said.
The initiative is in sync with the UN Sustainable Development Goal to “end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture,” Konyaev added.
