American and European sanctions on payment for Russian fertilizers killed global food production.
American and European sanctions on Russian fertilizer exports killed global food production for the 2022 growing season.<ref>https://www.politico.eu/article/eu-sanctions-higher-food-prices-potash/</ref> Russian and Belarusian fertilizers account for 40% of potash-based fertilizers necessary for global food production. The sanctions took effect for the 2022 spring planting season in the northern hemispheres. The President of [[Senegal]] and Chairperson of the African Union. Macky Sall said, "Anti-Russia sanctions have made this situation worse and now we do not have access to [[grain]] from Russia, primarily to [[wheat]]. And, most importantly, we do not have access to fertilizer. The situation was bad and now it has become worse, creating a threat to food security in Africa.... We must work together to resolve these problems so that sanctions are lifted on [[food]] products, in particular, grain, and fertilizer.<ref>http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/68564</ref>
African Union members cannot buy fertilizers and grain because of the stranglehold America has on the international payment system through the SWIFT network of payments between international banks. An alternative payment system to by-pass the SWIFT network is being considered, lowering the demand for and value of [[dollar]]s globally.
In a panic the Biden regime encouraged agricultural and shipping companies to buy and carry more Russian fertilizer when faced with famine and mass starvation after imposing sanctions on Russia, ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' reported.<ref>https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-06-13/us-quietly-urges-russia-fertilizer-deals-to-unlock-grain-trade</ref>
