As I understand it, the hydrogen in most industrially produced fertilizer comes from petroleum products. Given that, Russia being a big producer of fertilizer makes sense.

I can't really say why Russia would also be a large supplier of potash and phosphate, except to guess that they wanted to cover all of the relevant bases in a market in which they were a big player.
