Agricultural fertilizer rates for consumers will not change
Following the possibility of removing paragraph C of Note 8 of the government's budget bill 1402 regarding the sale of urea fertilizer needed by the country through the stock exchange in the consolidation commission, there has been a lot of concern for the producers of this product. The Deputy Minister of Agricultural Affairs of the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad and also the spokesperson of the Consolidation Commission stated that the reason for the possible removal of this paragraph is the concern about the increase in the rate of fertilizer required by farmers.
Maziar Hosseini, CEO of Ghadir Investment Company, told the reporter of "Duniya Ekhtsot" regarding the consequences of removing this paragraph: Regarding the issues raised, which probably led to the vote to remove the government bill in paragraph C of Note 8 (Urea supply in the commodity exchange), two issues were combined in the commission. It is related to this theme: farmers are small-scale farmers and cannot afford to buy bulk from the stock market, and the increase in the price of urea causes damage to farmers. He said that in response to this argument, it should be said: Basically, the farmer is not supposed to buy directly from the stock exchange, but the Agricultural Support Services Organization will be responsible for obtaining the (real) amount of urea from the stock exchange and distribute it between the farmers according to the current procedure. self-distribute It should also be emphasized that based on what is proposed in the budget, we will not have a change in the price delivered to the farmer, but the agricultural support service organization can deliver urea to the farmer at any price they see fit. It is that agricultural support services will be provided directly to the organization itself, and in this way, the current complex and non-executive mechanism, which came in the form of the approval of the honorable board of ministers in 2018, will be modified. He said: This decision will definitely save consumption and make it real, and it will reduce the rent and corruption that is currently in the issue to a great extent, and it will definitely benefit the country and the real farmer.
