This also results in supplies from subsidized fertilizer production and fertilizer from large industries sometimes note being capable to meet the market. In this scientific article, we will discuss the design and planning of fertilizer distribution from both large industries and small and medium industries which will be reviewed from the distribution of goods in 3 provinces zones which are estimated to have quite high movement of fertilizer products. The method used in this study in general is a literature review where the search for sources and data is carried out by literature study.
