The article discussed the Egyptian government's decision to reduce the subsidized amount of fertilizers allocated to the Ministry of Agriculture from 2.4 million tons to 1.8 million tons starting in August, representing approximately a 25% cut. This move comes amid rising natural gas prices supplied to fertilizer factories, with the price per ton fixed at 4,500 Egyptian pounds, raising concerns about its impact on fertilizer availability and production costs—especially for small farmers. The article also examines the potential repercussions on agricultural output, crop prices, and agricultural exports. It emphasizes the need for the government to study the decision's effects on food security, ensure that subsidized fertilizers reach the deserving groups, prevent leakage or speculations, and protect farmers from soaring prices or black market activities.
