Other applicants include Algeria, Argentina, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brazil, along with China and India, ranks among the three major importers of Belarusian potash. The United States and European Union imposed sanctions on the Belarusian potash giant Bie\u0142aruskalij.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Portugal and Spain reportedly lobbied for easing the European Union\u2019s
