At the beginning of October, it started to operate again, but it was very difficult to buy raw materials for production because the price increased very high.

In which, raw materials for production of D.A.P fertilizer are very scarce and cannot be bought with money. Only in the first week after going into production of the month, the company massively produced and ran out of raw materials. Particularly for plant protection drugs, raw materials also increased, some types increased up to 200 percent but they are not too scarce.

According to the plan, in 2021, the company produces 500 tons of fertilizer, but since the beginning of the year, it has only produced 168 tons and the reserve of raw materials has gradually run out. For plant protection drugs, from the beginning of the year to now, the company has produced 2,200 tons out of the total plan of 3,000 tons this year. The company's product distribution system is in Long An and the Western provinces.

At a meeting with An Nong Group Co., Ltd (Hai Son Industrial Park, Duc Hoa district), a representative of this unit said that raw materials are currently scarce because Chinese suppliers push prices up.
