Agriculture Minister Muhammad Abdur Razzaque said on Wednesday that his ministry is trying to find alternative sources from where the much-needed Urea fertilizer can be purchased, reports UNB. Razzaque said this after a meeting with Switzerland’s Ambassador to Bangladesh Nathalie Chuard at the Secretariat. “It’s unfortunate that local production of urea fertilizer has stopped due to gas shortage. But we’ve already taken some steps to collect urea from alternative sources no matter how much it’ll cost,” said Razzaque.
The minister added that they are not thinking about any urea crisis yet as the fertilizer is produced by many countries.
“We’re trying to make both Jamuna Fertilizer Company Limited and Chittagong Urea Fertilizer Limited operational.
