MOSCOW, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Russia plans to set its export tax for all types of fertilisers at 23.5% when the price is more than $450 a tonne, the Interfax news agency quoted Trade Minister Denis Manturov as saying on Friday.
Russia is a major producer of potash, phosphate and nitrogen fertilisers, with output of more than 50 million tonnes a year, equating to 13% of global production.
Phosagro PHOR.MM, Uralchem, Uralkali, Acron AKRN.MM and Eurochem are the biggest players.
Officials have prepared a draft of the government decree that would set the export tax at this level, Manturov was quoted as saying by Interfax.
