Agricultural Adviser Jahangir Alam Chowdhury asserted there is no shortage of fertilizer anywhere in the country, saying all syndicates have been dismantled and promising that prices will not increase while he remains in office. He announced the formation of a national committee to develop fertilizer policy and said major changes are being made to dealership arrangements. He added that ongoing gas shortages will not affect fertilizer production and that outstanding fertilizer liabilities totaling BDT 20,691 crore have been cleared.
Chowdhury also noted that although potato production is high this year, farmers are not receiving fair prices; the government is seeking to raise potato prices to protect growers’ interests. He said Bangladesh has exported mangoes to China for the first time and that jackfruit exports will begin next year.
