Manufacturers of potassium chloride are significantly dependent on the agriculture sector; around 9 out of 10 stakeholders invest in the agriculture industry. The impact of coronavirus (COVID-19) on the agriculture sector is complex and varied across different segments of the supply chains. This impact will echo across larger economies, and will persist in the coming months. Nationwide closures have disrupted the international flow of labor across the agricultural sector. All these factors are having a detrimental impact on the growth of the potassium chloride market.
“Growth in food demand has been stronger as compared to population growth, due to the changing eating habits of people. This, in turn, has been accelerating the demand for fertilizers and pesticides. These fertilizers and pesticides are used to improve crop yield, fertility of soil, and enhance production. Therefore, the demand for potassium chloride is expected to grow in tandem with the growth of the agriculture industry.”
