Overview
- Pakistan’s Fertilizer Review Committee, which met Wednesday, said urea and DAP stocks position the country well for the next planting season.
- Urea availability topped Rabi 2025–26 demand, which kept wheat and other winter crops on track without shortages.
- Annual urea demand runs at about 6.5 to 7.0 million tonnes, while domestic plants can produce roughly 7 million tonnes, supporting local supply.
- DAP relies on imports, so the government is arranging shipments, tightening logistics, and pushing transparent distribution at prices farmers can afford.
- The Middle East war has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and lifted costs, so authorities are tracking global markets to keep supplies steady.
