Claim 1: “Today, every third ton of mineral fertilizers in Brazil is produced in Russia.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states 'every third ton' (approx 33%) is produced in Russia. However, the evidence specifically states that 'About one-fifth' (20%) of Brazilian imports come from Russia. Another source notes that Russia and Belarus combined supply more than one-third of the global market, but not specifically one-third of Brazil's total usage.
