# Fertiliser prices increased - Business - DAWN.COM

> Pakistan's government raised fertilizer prices by Rs20 per 20kg bag, with the increase tied to higher gas prices offset by a cut in the Gas Infrastructure Development Cess. Urea was allowed to rise only Rs10 per bag, and the government had earlier approved importing one tonne of urea to balance supply.
