The war in Ukraine and fertilizers.
As a company that specializes in producing locally sourced organic fertilizers, we at SoilGrow have been closely following the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the impact it has had on the global fertilizer market. Unfortunately, the crisis has resulted in supply interruptions and skyrocketing costs, making it increasingly difficult for farmers to access the fertilizer they need to grow their crops.
According to data from Gro Intelligence, a data and analytics company specializing in global agriculture and climate, the cost of fertilizer is nearly three times what it was before the war, if farmers can even find it. Russia produces about 25% of the world’s nitrogen fertilizer, but that supply has essentially come off the market since the country invaded Ukraine.
Many countries are changing their crops or using less fertilizer, producing smaller amounts of food. Countries in Africa and Latin America are among the most vulnerable, as it would take years and billions of dollars to expand infrastructure to produce more fertilizer. In fact, the U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that if the fertilizer market is not stabilized, next year could bring a food supply crisis, stating “simply put, the world may run out of food.”
However, as a locally sourced organic fertilizer company, we at SoilGrow believe that there is an alternative solution. By turning to locally produced organic fertilizers, farmers and gardening enthusiasts can break free from the cycle of dependency on foreign imports and take control of their own food supply. Not only that, but they will be investing in a more sustainable future for their land and their communities.
Our organic fertilizers at SoilGrow are made from all-natural ingredients, including Bacillus bacteria, which work to improve the overall health and fertility of the soil.
Our fertilizers are not only effective, but they are also affordable. In fact, studies have shown that using organic fertilizers can lead to cost savings of up to 20% compared to chemical fertilizers. Additionally, our fertilizers are easy to apply, safe for kids and pets and do not burn plants, unlike chemical fertilizers.
We understand that farmers and gardening enthusiasts have a choice when it comes to fertilizers, and we want to make sure that they are aware of the benefits of using locally produced organic fertilizers. Not only do our fertilizers promote healthy, sustainable growth, but they also support local farmers and communities.
At SoilGrow, we are committed to providing high-quality, locally sourced organic fertilizers that are accessible to all farmers and gardening enthusiasts. We stand behind our products and are confident that they will improve the health of your soil and your crops.
So, whether you are a large-scale farmer, a medium-scale farmer or a gardening enthusiast, we encourage you to consider using locally produced organic fertilizers as a way to support your local community and promote sustainable growth for your plants.
