Since the plant put into operation so far, through calculation, assessment found that projects really bring efficiency to take advantage of abundant apatite in the country as well as helping to reduce the import of DAP fertilizer.
From success in project DAP Dinh Vu Plant of Vinachem, VINACHEM has decided to invest in building DAP 2 Plant in Lao Cai, with similar capacity and continue to expand investment, increasing the capacity of the DAP Dinh Vu plant to 660,000 tonnes.
DAP Dinh Vu plant comes into operation with a capacity of 330,000 tonnes / year to meet 30% of the DAP fertilizer demand in the domestic market, in the context of our country would also have to spent hundreds of millions of dollars to import over 800,000 tons of DAP every year.
And coming, when DAP 2 Lao Cai Plant put into operation increasing the capacity of DAP Dinh Vu plant to 660,000 tonnes / year, Vietnam will actively basic the DAP fertilizer products without need depends on the uncertainty about the quality and price of DAP Fertilizer import.

According to industry expert fertilizers, DAP is the balance fertilizer and the highest nutrient content, above 61%, while the urea products present only 46.1 - 46.3% nutrition . DAP components consist of two elements is P2O5 (phosphorus) and nitrogen (protein). When manureDAP fertilizer, plant is stimulated to promote balance development, to helps plants grow faster, increase the quality of agricultural products.
Besides, DAP fertilizer make plants healthy, increase resistance to pests and diseases, better resistance to malaria. If only in terms of the amount of phosphorus, 1 kg DAP valued equal 3 kg superphosphate. Especially, DAP is fertilizer neutral, suitable for all soil and crops; All times in DAP are melting fast in the water, trees very easily absorbed, providing remarkably effective.
The biggest advantage of DAP fertilizer can be used to basal fertilizing as well as apply additional fertilizer for all crops on all the different soil. Currently, DAP was Mekong Delta farmers preferred using with demand several hundred thousand tons per year.

DAP Dinh Vu prices on the market today range from 11,900 - 12,500 VND per kg cheaper than DAP of Chinese from 1,000 - 2,000 / kg. Compared with urea fertilizer, DAP more expensive, but if rules about nutrient composition (DAP 61%; urea 46.1%), the availability of DAP fertilizer cheaper than urea fertilizer.
