The check-up has been initiated by New Mexico senators. 75% of American potash fertilizers are produced in this state.

Tom Udall and Martin Heinrich are senators for New Mexico, the state that produces 75% of American potash fertilizers. They suspect Belaruskali of evading the trade restrictions by leaving the concern Belneftekhim.
The representative of the Belarusian Potash Company supplying Belaruskali products to the American market believes that the senators’ letter is the result of American producers’ lobbyist efforts.
