# Subsidy for fertiliser to decline

> Bangladesh's fertiliser subsidy bill is expected to fall to about Tk 7,000 crore in the outgoing fiscal year, down 9% from Tk 7,700 crore, as lower global prices and cheaper transport reduce costs. Importers say DAP can be bought for $309-315 per tonne versus $358-364 a year earlier, while MOP prices rose $80 this season.

## Why it matters

Lower DAP import costs point to softer phosphate fertiliser prices in Bangladesh, while the rise in potash prices is a partial offset. For feed buyers this is a minor input-cost signal rather than a direct grain or meal price driver.
