Minister for Industries and Production Khusro Bakhtyar says irrespective of escalating global prices of urea amounting ten thousand rupees per bag, the government has managed successfully to keep its price at 1768 per bag for robust cultivation of Rabi crops.

During meeting with manufacturers of fertilizer industry in Islamabad today [Thursday], he said domestic production of urea stood at historic thirty four lac tonnes this year due to prudent and timely measures taken by the government.

He said the government ensured the uninterrupted gas supplies to the plants for boosting domestic production for Rabi season.
