ThailandRyan Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Surprised at this development. Must be a caveat as far as fresh fruit being sent to Saudi 1st before others. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post farmerjo Posted May 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2022 There is no shortage of fertilizer here. Sugar cane production is expected to reach near 100 million tonnes here this year. Those factories make fertilizer be it granular or liquid from the by products. This should be promoted first at a reasonable price to farmers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adumbration Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 They could just skim the ditritous layers from any of Thailand waterways. They are so chocked with phosphates that they glow in the dark. And no...I am not jesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but given the size of Saudi Arabia's petro/chemical/agri chemical industry I think it more likely it will be those that provide industrial quantities of fertiliser to Thailand not bedouin goats and camels 'my friend' Edited May 16, 2022 by The Hammer2021 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets see if they say who will be exporting it to Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman34014 Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 NOBODY gets any product into Thailand without greasing palms; so you can be sure any 'Ministers' at these talks will be looking for Brown Envelopes ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Misterwhisper Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 With all the BS that is going on with this government, one would think that they must be up to their ears in fertilizer. But apparently not so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
