Pakistan's government rejected fertiliser manufacturers' request to stretch GIDC levy payments from two years to ten, according to a Fortune Securities report. Manufacturers have indicated they may raise urea prices by Rs 500 per bag on the 24-month schedule or Rs 100 per bag on the 10-year schedule.
A possible urea price increase in Pakistan would raise fertiliser costs for local crop producers, though the report itself calls a Rs 500 hike unlikely. The effect on global urea prices is limited because this is a single-country domestic levy dispute.
