VOV 新闻 reports that Vietnam spent over US $1 billion on fertilizer and crop protection chemicals imports during the past 8 months, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. Annually, the country needs 7 to 8 million tonnes of fertilizer, but domestic production currently only meets 50% of market demand. From now until 2020, Vietnam will have to import over 500,000 tonnes of fertilizer, including urea, DAP and kali, each year.
越南预计国内生产将在 2020 年满足市场需求。
