    Rapidly increasing input prices, especially for fertilizers and energy derived from fossil fuels, have put upward pressure on world food prices, with negative consequences for global food security. The situation is particularly severe in Africa, where countries are heavily dependent on imported agricultural inputs and smallholders account for a large share of agricultural production, many of whom are food insecure themselves. These pressing challenges must be addressed collectively. In the joint FAO-WTO report on fertilizer markets and policies, G20 governments are urged to take action to promote access to, and more efficient use of fertilizers, laying the foundation for further progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition.

    Almost every decision a manager takes needs a forecast. If he has an idea of what will happen in the future, he can make appropriate management decisions. He also needs to assess the effect of his present decisions on the future so that the right decisions are made today to create a desired condition tomorrow. Fertilizer is capital intensive and, therefore, cost sensitive. If we know what fertilizer types are likely to be demanded, where and when, we can improve the quality of decisions concerni ng production, procurement, placement and promotion. Consequently, we can minimise funds tied up in inventories, save interest costs, conserve foreign exchange, avoid running out of stock and, generally, increase sales and improve profits.
