# The FE - Fertiliser prices revised upward

> Bangladesh's government raised domestic retail prices of urea, DAP, TSP and MOP by Tk 5 per kg, about 27% on average, on April 10. The government cited higher global prices even though international fertilizer prices had fallen sharply, and it said it spent Tk 280 billion on farm subsidies last fiscal year.

## Why it matters

The retail hike is a domestic policy move that raises farm input costs in Bangladesh and could cut fertilizer application. It does not change global benchmark prices.
