WASHINGTON, April 17 – America is spearheading a coordinated effort among the world’s largest economies to protect global fertilizer supplies and prevent food supply chain disruptions, according to two anonymous sources with knowledge of the initiative.
As the current leader of the Group of 20 major economies, the United States is pushing fellow G20 nations along with the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to work together on safeguarding fertilizer availability, the sources revealed Friday.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has made agricultural and fertilizer supply chains a top priority, actively promoting cooperation between G20 countries and major international financial organizations, according to the sources who requested anonymity when discussing the matter.
