The UN World Food Programme plans to organise the next shipment of sanctioned mineral fertilizer from Latvia soon in order to provide support to countries the most in need of those products.
In December 2022, the Cabinet of Ministers in Latvia responded to a request from the United Nations to help mitigate the negative consequences of the war in Ukraine and address food crises in African and Latin American countries. They decided to support the donation of mineral fertilizers owned by companies under EU sanctions, through the UN World Food Programme. The first shipment was sent to Kenya in the spring of 2023.
