Fertiliser costs unsustainable globally, says FM Sitharaman

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has flagged the sharp rise in fertiliser costs, stating that no country can afford to purchase at prevailing price levels. The FM's remarks highlight the global challenge posed by elevated fertiliser expenses, which have become a concern for agricultural economies worldwide.

Sitharaman's statement underscores India's growing worry over import costs and domestic food production sustainability amid an international fertiliser supply squeeze.
