Nepal has scaled back its fertiliser import agreement with India to 50,000 tonnes, a reduction from previous plans. This decision follows a decrease in global fertiliser prices and a reassessment of Nepal’s procurement strategy. Despite the price easing, Nepali farmers are still experiencing challenges accessing sufficient fertiliser during the crucial paddy planting season. The initial import plan was larger, intended to secure supplies before potential price increases. Authorities cite the changing market conditions as justification for the revised agreement. The reduction aims to align purchases with current needs and budgetary considerations, though concerns remain about ensuring adequate fertiliser availability for agricultural production. This adjustment reflects Nepal’s attempt to navigate fluctuating global commodity markets and support its agricultural sector.
