The second lowest level of fertilizer consumption in South America and exorbitant fertilizer prices are impeding Bolivia's agricultural development. This report reviews Bolivia's fertilizer situation and makes recommendations to improve it. Examined are Bolivia's agricultural potential in terms of climate, soil conditions, and crop production capabilities; indigenous fertilizer raw materials (natural gas, phosphate rock, sulfur, and potash); fertilizer transportation system; future fertilizer manufacturing plans; fertilizer use and practice; agricultural extension services; community development program; soil testing laboratories; present and projected consumption of fertilizer; and fertilizer marketing and distribution. The unifying theme of these topics is their impact on the supply, demand, and price of fertilizer. The following time-phased recommendations for immediate fertilizer cost reductions are made: Phase I: (1) expand imports of bagged fertilizer (mono- and diammonium phosphate and urea) rather than package loose fertilizer at port-of-entry; (2) monitor world fertilizer market conditions to determine the best time to release tenders for fertilizer purchases as opposed t
