A shot at wheat self-sufficiency with a 6-fold increase in the price of urea fertilizer

Ms. Kazemi, an Activist of Chemical Fertilizers & Pesticides Industry

One of the reasons for the multiple growth of the price of urea fertilizer is due to petrochemical industries, because urea fertilizer is produced from methane gas and the government sells this gas to petrochemicals. Since the government will cut off their gas if Petrochemical cannot pay the price of this gas, the government has decided to increase the price of urea fertilizer by 6 times instead of taking gas money from Petrochemical.

This work of the government was a big shock to farmers and petrochemical companies, increasing the price of urea not only does not solve the problem but also creates problems for the livelihood of the following household. Therefore, the government should have implemented the welfare policy in a way that was based on price stabilization and not price increase. In fact, the government should have increased the price gradually.
