Explanation

The passage explicitly states: "potash is entirely imported as the country does not have any reserves of commercially usable potash or potassium compounds in any form." Nitrogen (urea) and phosphatic fertilizers are produced domestically; only potash is 100% imported. Urea is a product, not a raw component.
