Much of the current agricultural production around the world is based on fertilizers especially corn
and even though Trump has said that he is green lighting Venezuela to start making fertilizers you
don’t just flip a switch and have a fertilizer plant or the minerals or products used to make it.


Two of the 3 big components of fertilizer which is N P K …. Nitrogen urea and Potassium potash …
come from the region Trump is messing with.

With diesel, regular gas, and fertilizers becoming more expensive and harder to get food prices
are gonna soar or that is my guess.

Even some organic fruit tree farms use some paraffin as dormant oil sprays.
