Vietnam's imports of fertiliser from China during the first eight months of 2018 were down by 30.4% YoY, according to a report by the ministry of agriculture and rural development. The drop was mainly due to lower demand for fertilizer in Vietnam as well as higher prices at home after China's ban on exports last year. However, fertiliser imports from China fell sharply, down 30.4 per cent year-on-year. In the nine month period, 697,000 mt of Sunfat Ammonium (SA) was imported, down 11.6% from the year before, but imports of urea were up 5.8% to 360,000 mt.
