India’s Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Mansukh Mandaviya, speaking before the Fertiliser Association of India (FAI) meeting on Dec. 6, warned global fertilizer suppliers against price cartelization, saying the recent steep rise in fertilizer prices is unacceptable, according to a Press Trust of India report.
Mandaviva said suppliers took advantage of the global crisis created by the Russia-Ukraine war. If not checked, he warned that India would have to look to alternatives, noting that it has already developed alternative Nano urea and DAP to become self-sufficient.
