Industry Minister Wiroj Silpa-archa says three potash mines (Khorat, Udon Thani, Chaiyaphum) could reach 3.2 million tonnes a year, cutting the roughly 1 million tonnes of potash fertiliser Thailand imports (about 14,000 million baht a year). Khorat is expected to produce in the second half of 2570 (2027), Udon Thani around 2573 (2030), and Chaiyaphum is stuck in a 8,000 million baht state-benefit dispute in court. For now this is a long-term supply story; it does not change fertiliser prices or your costs this quarter. Watch for potash fertiliser options (e.g. 0-0-60) if you farm or buy agricultural inputs.
