Indeed, we have capacity in this country to blend fertiliser. We are looking into the possibility of establishing a partnership between the Government and private sector towards importing raw materials, and blending the fertiliser here at home. Our estimation is that if that effort succeeds, we will be in a position to reduce the cost of fertiliser by between 25 per cent and 30 per cent. We are assessing that and also the long-term possibility of building our own plant. That is in the pipeline. In fact, it is in our strategic plan for the next three years."}
