Canada will continue to sell potassium fertilisers to Bangladesh in the days to come, Agriculture Minister Muhammad Abdur Razzaque said yesterday.
The minister said this at a press briefing after a meeting with the delegation of Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) led by Canadian High Commissioner Lilly Nicholls, at the secretariat in Dhaka.
Razzaque said there was extreme global uncertainty about potassium fertilisers last year due to the Russia-Ukraine war.
"We failed to buy potassium fertiliser from Belarus. At that time, Canada provided us with 5 lakh tonnes of potassium fertiliser on an emergency basis. As a result, there was no shortage of fertiliser in the winter crop season and the ongoing Boro season."
The CCC delegation is currently visiting Bangladesh to strengthen bilateral relations and facilitate trade.
