ISLAMABAD: In order to meet the nation’s urea needs for Kharif 2023, the government’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) has approved supplying domestic gas to fertilizer factories.
The decision was taken in a cabinet committee meeting presided over by the Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Mohammad Ishaq Dar, according to a tweet from the finance ministry.
Local production of urea
The move is expected to reduce reliance on imports by producing urea locally.
Last week, the government formed a body to allocate indigenous gas to two fertiliser plants, namely Fatima Fertiliser Company Limited (FFCL) and Agritech Limited.
