Southeast Asia Today...and Tomorrow

With strengthening economies, countries in Southeast Asia are working to maximize crop yields to meet growing food demand. Malaysia and Indonesia are prominent players in the biofuel industry, with the latter being the world's largest producer of palm oil, which is very potash intensive. Indonesia plans to diversify into ethanol and in 2007 set aside 2.2 million hectares for potash-dependent sugar cane and cassava.
