Russia announced earlier that it would agree to a 60-day extension, which is half the number of days agreed when it first expired in November.

The Commission committed to launch in 2023 an EU Fertilisers Market Observatory. The Commission published the call for applications with a view to formally launch the group of experts before summer 2023. The call is open until 4 April.

In Argentina, on the other hand, new downward adjustments in estimates led to a reduction in world production.

Significant cuts were made to world corn export estimates compared to the February report, while global soybean production was again projected downward, largely due to losses and low yields in the Argentine crop.

Soybean harvest this season is forecast to be 20.6% higher than in the previous season, which indicates a recovery in the productivity of the crops that were affected by adverse weather conditions in 2021/22.

The current "Black Sea Grain Initiative" agreement, which has allowed grain exports to date, expires on March 17.

Brazil has harvested only 23% of the 152.88 million tons forecast for the 2022/23 season.
