Urea Fertilizer Committee Proposes Import of 1M Tonnes

The Urea Fertilizer Purchasing and Distribution Steering Committee in Myanmar has proposed the importation of over one million tonnes of urea fertilizer, alongside 19,000 tonnes of pesticides. This recommendation aims to address the increasing agricultural demands and ensure food security in the region.

What this means

• Farmers: Enhanced availability of urea fertilizer will support crop production and food security.
• Turf & Greenkeepers: Increased fertilizer supply may lead to improved turf maintenance practices.
• Industry: This move could stimulate local agricultural markets and boost economic growth.

Outlook: The proposed imports are expected to stabilize fertilizer prices and ensure adequate supply for the upcoming planting season.
