(Central News Agency reporter Li Hsien-feng, Hualien County, 15th) Amidst the Middle East conflict, the Agriculture and Food Agency is monitoring international raw material prices and assisting domestic fertilizer manufacturers in absorbing part of the price increase to stabilize supply. The Agriculture and Food Agency's Eastern Branch pointed out that for the first phase of chemical fertilizer in the eastern region, 300 metric tons were continuously released by the end of March and are still being stocked, so farmers do not need to hoard.
The Agriculture and Food Agency's Eastern Branch stated today that in response to the peak demand for topdressing during spring plowing, agricultural associations have been asked to continuously release chemical fertilizers from mid-March to clear inventory. Furthermore, Taiwan Fertilizer Co. and private manufacturers' fertilizer production lines are operating normally, and raw material inventory is sufficient to support production until the end of 2026.
The Agriculture and Food Agency's Eastern Branch said that the supply sources for various fertilizer raw materials are diversified, and the supply chain is highly resilient. Farmers are asked to cooperate with the real-name fertilizer purchase policy according to their farming needs, which not only allows them to enjoy freight subsidies but also effectively prevents unscrupulous businesses from hoarding or price gouging.
In addition, in response to rising international prices of fertilizer raw materials, the Agriculture and Food Agency continues to implement the "Fertilizer Price Increase Subsidy" measure to stabilize domestic fertilizer prices and supply, and to reduce the burden on farmers. Farmers are advised to feel at ease, not to rush to buy, and not to hoard fertilizer, to ensure effective fertilization.
The Agriculture and Food Agency's Eastern Branch stated that 814 metric tons of chemical fertilizer for the first phase of 2026 in the eastern region were stocked, and as of the end of March, 300 metric tons are still being continuously released and rolled into storage. Farmers are most at ease with "buy and use immediately" and do not need to hoard, to avoid fertilizer becoming damp and deteriorating.
The Agriculture and Food Agency's Eastern Branch emphasized that it will continue to closely monitor the supply and demand of fertilizer within its jurisdiction, and strengthen the inspection of fertilizer distribution, dealer prices, sales, and inventory at various locations. It reiterated that the fertilizer supply chain and price subsidy mechanism are operating soundly, and farmers should maintain rational purchasing to ensure fertilizer quality and fertilization effects, and jointly maintain the long-term stability of the domestic fertilizer market.
