I bought 10 50kg bags of 46-0-0 in Ban Phue two weeks ago and the price was still 1350 baht, which is the same I paid 3 months earlier...I have not seen any significant price reductions..

In a word "no" we have to wait for stored stock to be sold....

No - not as yet - and for much the same reason as forecourt prices have not yet dropped much: but as these lower price oil contracts start landing in Thailand (and start getting processed and used) we can expect to see a drop in fertilser prices - the more Nitrogen in the fertilser the bigger the drop will be (sorry - should be).

Unlike fuel prices which are state determined, fertrilser production is by and large a private industry, and it will be interesting to see if the producers do indeed pass the savings onto farmers. Sadly, like agricultural feed prices (which are "cartel'd"- despite the illegality of the practice, and the denials given by the big players - I know: they forced me into playing ball), I strongly suspect the fertiliser industry is cartel'd and farmers are not going to see a comensurate drop.

we sell terralyt plus now in thailand,it's more than half cheeper than fertilyzer,sooner harvest and until 35% better and larger harvest,and i also use it on my land.

1 kilo terralyt plus,mix this with water 1:1000 and use this for 25.000m2

and the result is great!
