The Egyptian Minister of Agriculture, Ala Farouk, told Al-Sharq Bloomberg: reducing the supply of gas to the fertilizer factories will not affect the subsidized fertilizer quotas for farmers.
Egypt has a stock of fertilizers amounting to 400 thousand tons in agricultural companies, which is enough for more than two months, according to the Minister of Agriculture. We have more than 40% of the winter season's fertilization needs, amounting to 900 thousand tons.
