I would start off with the test kits and watch for a week or two to see what your baseline nitrate/phosphate levels are. If you're already keeping fish, or your tap water already contains phosphates, you may not need to dose as frequently or at all. In particular, if you have a ton of fish and not so many plants, you'll probably have an excess of nutrients that need to be removed through water changes.
Phosphate test kit
Master test kit, which includes nitrate test. Ammonia/nitrite are most useful when first cycling your tank, so if your tank is otherwise stable, you could just buy a single nitrate test kit.
If after testing for a while it looks like you need to supplement, then you can look into alternative means for acquiring ferts in your country.
Is there a list of ingredients?
if it contains sodium nitrate AND sodium nitrite it's #2
if it only contains sodium nitrite it's #1
If not, maybe you can use an aquarium test kit to test for the presence of Nitrates.
