Net irrigated area in Thailand is expected to rise from 7.3 million hectares in 2017 to 8.1
million hectares by 2022.
Thailand’s fertilizer usage is very low at around 153 kgs per hectare of arable land as
compared to around 530 kgs per hectare of China and 400 kgs per hectare of Vietnam.
The fertilizer consumption in Thailand has remained at low levels as compared to other Asian
countries such as China, India, Vietnam and Indonesia. However, inclining population and food
demand has resulted in increase in consumption of complex fertilizers in the country. Despite
rise in demand, Thailand has not been able to achieve sufficient production levels of complex
fertilizers. Thus, imports play a crucial role in the Thailand complex fertilizer industry. The
country is likely to remain highly dependent on imports to meet the domestic demands for
complex fertilizers.
Despite dependence on external factors as machinery, raw materials and energy, Thailand's
complex fertilizer industry will remain just as indispensable to the future of economic
development as it has been during the past decades. Thailand, after all, is an agricultural
country. Establishment of new manufacturing sites and capacity expansion of existing facilities
will fuel the domestic production of complex fertilizers in the near future and drive the demand
for NPKs in the country.
Growing emphasis on use of balanced chemical fertilizers, curbing soil pollution and urgent
need to improve agricultural productivity is expected to augment the demand for complex
fertilizers in Thailand, according to Analyst at Ken Research.
Ken Research in its latest study, Thailand Complex (NPK) Fertilizer Market Outlook to 2022 –
Highly Competitive and Import Based Market suggested NPK 15-15-15 was the most widely
used complex fertilizer in Thailand, recording fastest growth during the last 5 years. Going
forward, utilization of NPK 15-15-15 is most likely to remain strong owing to high consumer
trust in this particular grade. Manufacturers should emphasize on deteriorating soil health and
encourage government bodies to increase subsidy on complex fertilizers. Establishing mobile
soil testing labs which would access the soil conditions, crop nutrient requirements and
