You have to look at geo political implications if China or Russia wouldn’t help theses poorer countries they lose all the impact they made over the last decade by providing infrastructure to these countries. It’s not the clear cut case you make it out to be. The whole fertilizer production problem is also more of a logistical problem because fertilizer production is easy and there are a lot of countries with natural gas reserves. Russia on the other hand can’t produce tech or seeds for secondary fruits needed for a proper soil rotation. You can easily kickstart fertilizer production. Tech and seed not so much especially when you take into account that Russia optimized their agriculture for modern single use seeds.
