The Agriculture Ministry approved yesterday hiking prices on urea and nitrate fertilizers to EGP 3,200 and EGP 3,100 per tonne, respectively, a ministry source tells Al Shorouk. The Farmers’ Syndicate is objecting to the new prices, which come into effect today, saying the hikes were not studied adequately and will benefit businesses at the expense of agricultural production, according to Al Mal.
