webfact Posted March 28, 2022 Share Posted March 28, 2022 Thailand may experience fertiliser shortages in April and May and prices are expected to increase further as a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine. President of Thai Fertiliser and Agricultural Supplies Association Plengsakdi Prakaspesat said today (Monday) that stocks of fertiliser held in storage by the private sector may be exhausted, because some traders are reluctant to import, due to domestic price controls. Import prices have increased sharply following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

EVENKEEL Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 These items are also used for making livestock feed, not just fertilizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moonlover Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Not just Thailand either. There are concerns globally regarding this issue. Farmers will have to start collecting the buffalo dung again and get spreading. Fertilizer Shortage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Here's the lowdown on this problem from the CEO of one of the world's biggest fertilizer producers. It makes disturbing reading. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-60623941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackGats Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Instead of disposing of dung into groundwater, use it as fertiliser, like in the old days. Requires some work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ourmanflint Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 As I said a few weeks back. Does no one do forward planning in Thailand? On 3/7/2022 at 7:34 AM, ourmanflint said: This will directly affect farmers very soon and therefor the rice crop which could be a bigger disaster. A very large proportion of all fertilizer ingredients come from Russia and now that supply has gone. Fertilizer companies are predicting yield losses of up to 50% globally, including dear old Thailand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Maybe this will help reduce the crop burning. Composting needs to return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
