The global fertiliser crisis may hit Nepal hard this plantation season

Nepal needs 250,000 tonnes of fertiliser for paddy cultivation. Around 183,000 likely to be available.

The impact of the chemical fertiliser crisis triggered by tensions in West Asia is already being felt in the United States and Europe, where the main crop planting season is underway. In South Asia, including Nepal, the fertiliser crisis is expected to hit the first planting season in the coming months.
