CPB concerned at abnormal price hike of fertiliser

In a joint statement, CPB President Monjurul Ahsan Khan and General Secretary Mujahidul Islam Selim said the crisis of fertiliser has made the farmers frustrated when they were trying to grow winter vegetables.

They said the dealers also often supply fertilisers to dishonest traders and not to the farmers.

The CPB leaders urged the government to take necessary steps to protect the farmers from the exploitation of the brokers.

The statement also called for setting up of cold storage at different areas of the country to ensure fair price of their products.
