# Govt mulls over fertiliser subsidies

> Pakistan's Minister for National Food Security Rana Tanveer Hussain told a parliamentary committee the government is considering subsidies of Rs3,000 and Rs5,000 per bag of fertiliser. Punjab is weighing Rs3,000 per bag, while Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has decided on an in-kind subsidy of Rs5,000 per bag. The committee also noted a recent import of 50,000 tons of DAP for the Rabi 2026-27 season.

## Why it matters

Subsidies and lower import duties could raise fertiliser application and support wheat and rice plantings, but a fertiliser-driven price shift for feed grains is limited. Pakistan's import needs for DAP and urea remain a modest factor in global phosphate and nitrogen demand.
