VOV.VN - The country's fertiliser exports in the first six months of the year reached 998,000 tonnes, earning US$647 million, up 43% in volume and 2.8 times in value compared to the same period from last year.
VOV.VN - Despite the dual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Vietnam’s import turnover of fertilisers from Russia rose 59% in the first half of this year to reach US$86.8 million.
The Russia–Ukraine conflict is forcing Vietnam to look for alternative suppliers of fertilisers to cope with the shortage of supply and rising prices.
The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) in Vietnam on March 15 worked with Can Tho authorities on a plan to pilot a waste sorting at source model and organic fertiliser production in rural areas as part of the “Waste management in the Mekong Delta” project funded by Germany.
The value of Vietnam’s fertiliser products shipped overseas skyrocketed by 682% in the first month of 2022 against the same period last year, according to the General Department of Vietnam Customs.
Fertiliser businesses have been predicted to flourish this year thanks to many positive supporting factors.
The Vietnam International Agriculture Fair 2020 opened in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on November 11, featuring 250 stalls from 100 Vietnamese and foreign companies.
