The Chittagong Urea Fertilizer Limited (CUFL), a major state-owned urea fertilizer producer in Bangladesh, has been halted for over five and a half months as of today. Production ceased on March 4th following the last operational day on March 3rd, due to a critical shortage of gas supply. This prolonged shutdown is inflicting significant financial damage upon the company. Officials at the Anwara, Chittagong-based facility have not yet provided detailed information regarding resolution efforts. The interruption in fertilizer production raises concerns about potential impacts on the agricultural sector. The extended period of inactivity highlights the vulnerability of the plant to gas supply disruptions. The future of operations at CUFL remains uncertain until the gas supply issue is resolved.
