In the midst of recurring geopolitical risks such as the Middle East war and the Russia-Ukraine war, a criticism was raised in the National Assembly that the country's stockpile system for strategic materials, which are highly dependent on imports, such as fertilizer raw materials, is not in place. This criticism pointed out the limitations of policies that focus on short-term support for key agricultural materials like fertilizers, and the government acknowledged this and stated that they would establish management measures including stockpiling. Rep. Im Mi-ae of the Democratic Party (proportional representation) mentioned during a policy questioning session at the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts in the National Assembly on the 7th that "Urea and ammonia are core raw materials for nitrogen fertilizers, and phosphorus rock and potassium are almost entirely imported as domestic production is difficult." She pointed out that "although a system exists where the government, public institutions, and private sector share roles in stockpiling, it is not actually functioning properly." In response, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Minister Song Mi-ryung also admitted, "Actually, it is not being managed that way." Currently, it was revealed that fertilizer raw materials rely on private companies jointly purchasing to secure demand in advance and importing and producing/supplying them by period, without any national stockpile. Rep. Im pointed out that "this structure is inevitably vulnerable to supply chain shocks." In particular, it was noted that while urea for vehicle use is managed by the state, urea for fertilizer is practically excluded from government management. Rep. Im criticized, "Ultimately, the stockpile quantity is entirely the inventory of companies," and "despite experiencing multiple supply chain crises, no response system has been established." Rep. Im also touched on the policy direction for inorganic fertilizers. "Currently, government support remains at covering the price increase," she pointed out, "it is limited to short-term prescriptions, not fundamental responses." She emphasized, "Since fertilizer raw materials are considered national strategic materials, a national stockpile system should be established like energy," and "when discussing food security, the lack of a management plan for agricultural materials, which are the basis of production, is like 'going to a battlefield without weapons'." In response, Minister Song stated, "Based on the Essential Agricultural Materials Support Act..."
