Asked the Minister whether the proposed fertilizer subsidy would also extend to private fertilizer companies. He argued that relying only on fertilizer produced by Lak Pohora Company and the Commercial Fertilizer Company would be insufficient to meet the needs of smallholder tea growers.

¶ 01 Thank you, Hon. Minister. Under your proposal, will this subsidy also be provided to private fertilizer companies? Otherwise, in my view, the fertilizer produced by Lak Pohora Company and the Commercial Fertilizer Company alone will not be sufficient to meet the needs of smallholder tea growers.
