🇪🇺🇷🇺 TARIFFS ON RUSSIA: EU countries will have to pay €430 per ton for importing Russian fertilizers from Russia by 2030
European MEPs voted to increase customs duties on fertilizers, as well as agricultural supplies from Russia. According to the European Commission, duties will be increased gradually in order to make supplies from Russia unprofitable in the near future.
Thus, in 2025-26, the border import tariff for fertilizers will be €40 - €45 per ton, but will increase to €430/ton by 2030.
Ironically European countries sharply increased fertilizer imports from Russia in the second half of 2022. Europe tries to finally destroy its farmers.

@MyLordBebo Russia is likely the world's largest fertilizer exporter in 2025, based on 2024 data showing over 20% global share ($13.4B) and a 12% export increase to the EU in January 2025. China’s exports surged 44.5% in Q1 2025 (7.16M tons), but restrictions on urea and phosphate limit its lead. Canada and the U.S. are major exporters, but no 2025 data confirms they surpassed Russia. Uncertainty remains due to limited full-year 2025 data.

Tips to get more protein
The best way to combat a protein deficiency? Work on getting more protein in your meals. Romito offers up the following advice:
Include protein at every meal. Romito doesn’t recommend trying to cram all your protein into one meal. Instead, she says it’s best to split it up throughout the day. “If you get protein at every meal, it makes it easier to hit your total by the end of the day.”

Most people think success is about adding more.
More projects. More contacts. More noise.
In reality, the breakthroughs often come from subtraction.
Removing the one offer that drains you.
Declining the meeting that adds no value.
Letting go of the client who doesn’t respect your work.
If you feel stuck, ask yourself:
What can I remove to make everything else work better?

In 2007, ‘locavore’ – a person who only eats food grown or produced within a 100-mile (161km) radius – was the Oxford Word of the Year. Now, 15 years later, University of Sydney researchers urge it to trend once more . They have found that 19 percent of global food system greenhouse gas emissions are caused by transportation.
This is up to seven times higher than previously estimated, and far exceeds the transport emissions of other commodities. For example, transport accounts for only seven percent of industry and utilities emissions.
