Local fertiliser traders and suppliers have confirmed there will be sufficient fertiliser supply during the peak plantation season starting in May, while pledging to step up imports from Saudi Arabia to meet domestic demand.
According to Wattanasak Sur-iam, director-general of the Internal Trade Department who chaired yesterday's joint meeting with representatives of three fertiliser associations, the private sector insists Thailand will not face any fertiliser shortages, with domestic supply sufficient to support the country's new annual crops scheduled for plantation in May.
"Entrepreneurs also pledged to accelerate fertiliser imports from new supply sources, especially Saudi Arabia, to offset the impact from the war between Russia and Ukraine," he said.
