Suggests hike in urea price while reducing P&K fertiliser prices
Bharat Krishak Samaj (BKS), a non-profit farmers organisation, on Tuesday pitched for an increase in price of urea and a simultaneous decrease in price of potassic and phosphatic fertilisers, without bringing any added burden to farmers or the government.
This will incentivise balanced use of fertilisers in the country, said Ajay Vir Jhakar, Chairman, BKS, at the virtual pre-Budget meeting that Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had with agriculturalists, agriculture experts besides trade and industry representatives. Representatives of the food processing industry later in the afternoon attended a separate pre-Budget meeting which was chaired by a top Finance Ministry official.
