Nothing affects food prices like the cost of farm inputs. And among them, mineral fertilisers seem the most significant. Fertilisers supplement the soils with minerals that are taken up by crops during cultivation. But among the many important crop minerals, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are of greatest significance. Since both nitrogen and potassium are readily available in soil, phosphorus remains a key determining factor to the success of farming ventures in depleted soils.
