- Total fertilizer consumption in 2014 was approximately 10.8 million tons, growing at a rate of 4.2% annually. NPK fertilizer accounts for the largest share at 37% of the market.
- The market is facing oversupply issues and declining prices due to cheap smuggled fertilizer from China. Local production has increased significantly but imports of SA and potassium fertilizers are still needed.
- The distribution system is fragmented with no single player controlling the entire network and instead relying on multiple regional agents. The top players by market share are Vinachem and several other large fertilizer producers.
