Bangladesh has allocated Tk 17,000 crore for fertiliser subsidies in fiscal 2026–27, down from Tk 28,987.45 crore the previous year. The country estimates chemical-fertiliser demand at 5.805 million tonnes against domestic production capacity of 1.2 million tonnes, leaving about 4.605 million tonnes to be imported; urea demand is estimated at 2.62 million tonnes.
The lower subsidy allocation could constrain farmers’ purchasing power and dampen fertiliser demand, while the large gap between demand and domestic output leaves Bangladesh reliant on imports. The effect on global prices is likely limited, but import demand for products such as urea remains substantial.
