The demand for fertilizer in Vietnam at present is roughly 12 million tones/year and increases year on year.
Domestic production of fertilizer meets around 72 and 75% of demand, the balance is imported from foreign countries.
According to scientists from Mekong delta regional Rice Research institute and Vietnam Agro-Chemistry Edaphology institute, domestically-produced phosphate has higher quality than imported phosphate because domestically-produced phosphate has various nutrients…
However, domestically-produced phosphate generates dust. Therefore, in order to boost the usage of domestic products, participants at the workshop proposed producers create professional products for rice in Mekong delta region, and competent sectors enhance advertisement, introduction and instruction for farmers./.
