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.

Compared to last March, he said that the prices of compounds used to produce fertiliser have increased steeply, citing urea, the price of which has increased from US$360 per tonne to $1,000, ammonia sulphate 21-0-0 from $180 per tonne to $400, phosphate 18-46-0 from $570 per tonne to $1,164 and potash 0-0-60 from $256 to $750.

As I said a few weeks back. Does no one do forward planning in Thailand?

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
