He said the production of urea by Indorama was suspended after some of its staff contracted coronavirus. He added that the factory has closed down for about three weeks, and this was coupled with the interstate lockdown, which prevented the swift turnaround of trucks across the country. The governor added that all the challenges have now been addressed, as there is an increase in production and the presidential initiative has been pushing quantities of fertilizers every day across the 31 blending plants in the country so that farmers can continue to access the fertilizer in their domain.
The official stated that the presidential fertilizer initiative is only on MPK 20:10:10, and not other fertilizer produce. If other fertilizer products are not available in the market, then it is the forces of demand and supply that are driving that.“It’s not within the power of presidential fertilizer initiative to monitor or control the sale of Urea, 15 15 fertilizer and others because Nigeria is self-sufficient in the production of Urea and is even exporting it,” the governor said.
