Farmers' Union Leader on Sugarcane Quotas and Fertilizer Prices
The Head of Farmers Syndicate stated that the Ministry of Agriculture is reassessing the distribution of subsidized fertilizers for crops such as sugarcane, with no increase or decrease in the support. The adjustments are focused on improving the allocation of fertilizers based on land needs, aiming to support agricultural production and enhance efficiency. He explained that the price of a ton of subsidized fertilizer is estimated at 6,000 pounds, while in the free market it exceeds 24,000 pounds. This prompts farmers to purchase fertilizer from the open market, thereby increasing production costs. The decision to cut fertilizer quotas has sparked discontent among farmers in Upper Egypt governorates, due to concerns about its impact on their economic returns and productivity.
