Highest ever domestic production of Urea in 2015-16
Posted on 19 Jul, 2016 2:42 pm
Department of Fertilizers is mandated to provide all subsidized chemical fertilizers to the States/UTs as per requirement projected by the Department of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW) in consultation with States. In order to meet the gap between domestic demand and indigenous production, urea is imported. In the year 2015-16, domestic production of urea was the highest ever. Import is going to reduce gradually as production of urea increases.
The details of annual requirement/demand, production and import of major fertilizers during the last three years are given below:-
