    Our Government/politicians aren't mentioning this, why?







    What is urea, and why does a worldwide shortage threaten Australia’s supply chain?


    You may have never heard of urea, but the worldwide shortage of the chemical compound could bring Australia’s supply chain to its knees in a matter of weeks.
    The world is facing a major shortage of the compound, a key ingredient found in diesel exhaust fluid and a large component in fertiliser.

    The main reason for the shortage is that China, which previously supplied 80% of Australia’s urea supplies, has banned export of the product. That’s because the cost of fertiliser has skyrocketed and China wants to slow that price growth


    But this could inadvertently force many of Australia’s trucks off the road, as urea is injected into the exhaust systems of modern diesel vehicles to reduce emissions, which is a requirement for trucks, private vehicles and tractors................

    Seems like we have some serious issues to hit in 2022
