[Economic problems and contradictions in mineral fertilizer application for solving nutrition problems in the...

The optimum application of mineral fertilizers in the agriculture of the developing countries is inhibited by the monopolization of the mineral fertilizer industry in the capitalist economic world system and the numerous contradictions in the developing countries themselves. Thus it requires the full state sovereignty and economic independence of the developing countries, and the creation of such social conditions which enable the further extension and better utilization of the fertilizer capacities as well as the optimum fertilizer application. This means applying mineral fertilizers in the best possible way in order to ensure the nutrition of their own population and aiming at agrarian structures which promote mineral fertilization, restructuring the system of mineral fertilizer prices, and developing the mineral fertilizer service.
