Southeast Asia depends heavily on imported synthetic fertilizers, with Philippines, Myanmar and Thailand importing over 80% of supply in 2020. Russia and Belarus supply about 40% of global potash exports, and Indonesia, Vietnam, Brunei and Malaysia were most exposed to the war.
Thailand approved a $1.8 billion potash mine reopening and Indonesia reopened a fertilizer plant.
New domestic potash and fertilizer capacity in Southeast Asia could gradually ease regional import demand, a modestly bearish factor for potash over time. Dependence on Russian supply keeps regional cost risk elevated.
