Middle East and Africa Potash Fertilizers Market was worth USD 1.88 billion in 2021 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 4.5%, to reach USD 2.35 billion by 2026.
The fertilizers in which has potassium as the major component are known as potash fertilizers. Potassium is one of the three macronutrients required by the plants and helps plants in the water uptake and synthesis of plant sugars. Potassium is available in foods derived from plants and is very useful for humans as well.
Generally, plants absorb potassium from the soil. However, in certain types of soils, potassium content is low or non-existent. Potash is manufactured in commercial scale as fertilizer to be used in such soils. It is also used to improve the yield of the crops and the nutrient value. Potassium deficiency in plants results in decrease in the crop yield, poor water utility and decrease in pest resistance.
