HA NOI — State-owned fertiliser producers will raise prices this week, announced Nguyen Duy Sy, deputy director of the Viet Nam National Chemical Corporation (Vinachem).
For instance, Binh Dien Fertiliser Co would decide the price it would charge for NPK fertiliser, currently selling VND12.656 million (US$791) per tonne.
Imported raw material costs were cited as the main reason forcing fertiliser producers to increase prices. Costs had risen in many instances by 15 per cent or more in the month of April alone.
On the world market, the price of diammonium phosphate (DAP) has risen $350-400 per tonne to $1,400-1,500 per tonne over the past month, Sy noted. The price of potassium fertiliser has risen $130 to $1,000 per tonne and that of urea $70 to $450 per tonne. All were expected to continue rising.

Lannoite menee kalliiksi koska sitä valmistetaan petrokemikaaleista ja fosfaatista, elikkä lähinnä öljystä. Kun öljyn hinta nousee, niin lannoitteen hinta nousee. Kun lannoitteen hinta nousee, ruoan hinta nousee.
Tämä hintanousu tulee ensimmäiseksi vaikuttamaan köyhiä maita.
