Preparations are underway to hike prices of chemical fertilisers meant for agricultural purposes, Kantipur daily reported Thursday.

The price hike is being made to meet the growing demand of farmers, as concerned private and government sectors have not shown any interest to import fertilizer owing to fluctuation in international market, said the report. nepalnews.com mr July 10
