We're fortunate here. Those others miss out on the Monopotassium
Phosphate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopotassium_phosphate
Monopotassium phosphate, MKP, (also potassium dihydrogenphosphate, KDP,
or monobasic potassium phosphate), KH2PO4, is a soluble salt of
potassium and the dihydrogen phosphate ion which is used as a
fertilizer, a food additive and a fungicide. It is a source of
phosphorus and potassium. It is also a buffering agent. When used in
fertilizer mixtures with urea and ammonium phosphates, it minimizes
escape of ammonia by keeping the acidity at a relatively low level.
