Govt sees price stability amid ample fertiliser supplies

The Fer­tiliser Review Committee has expressed satisfaction with fertiliser production and its market supply position. The meeting, chaired by Industries and Prod­u­c­tion Minister Rana Tanve­­er Hussain, was informed on Thursday that the required balance prevailed in the supply and demand of urea for the Rabi season 2024-25, and the fertiliser manufacturing plants were operating efficiently across the country. The committee was informed that there would be no fertiliser shortage during the ongoing crop season and noted that prices were stable and would eventually benefit the farmers. Appreciating the price stability, the minister said it was a positive development for farmers. He also acknowledged the cooperation between the Power Division and the Fertiliser Committee, which has increased production. He directed that all fertiliser production units operate at full capacity to avoid shortfalls and meet the demand during the season.
