New fertiliser pricing gets off the ground
Farmers To Gain As Complex Fertilisers Get Cheaper, More Accessible THE government on Thursday cleared a new fertiliser pricing policy that will make some varieties cheaper and help farmers, but the industry said it was only a tentative first step toward price decontrol. "The prices of complex fertilisers will come down by Rs 1,416 per tonne or Rs 70 per bag There will, however, be no change in prices of urea, MOP, DAP and SSP during 2008-09,' finance minister P Chidambaram told reporters after a meeting of the Cabinet committee on economic affairs (CCEA).
