KHARIF FERTILIZER SITUATION: MID SEPTEMBER 2009 AND

OUTLOOK FOR RABI 2009-10

Executive Summary

1. CUMULATIVE OFFTAKE FOR KHARIF 2009 (APRIL-AUGUST)

Cumulative Kharif 2009, (April-August) total nutrient offtake was 1,843 thousand tonnes, which
showed an increase of 52.1 per cent over the same timeframe of Kharif 2008. Total nitrogen
offtake went up by 30.3 per cent and phosphate by 298.3 per cent. However, potash witnessed a
downward trend. Urea offtake was about 2,646 thousand tonnes, which increased by 20.3 per
cent, while DAP offtake was 718 thousand tonnes, which also went up by 471.4 per cent over
Kharif 2008.

2. SUPPLY/DEMAND SITUATION DURING AUGUST, 2009

Total nutrient offtake during August, 2009 was about 449 thousand tonnes, which recorded an
increase of 86.5 per cent over August 2008. Nitrogen offtake increased by 54.4 per cent and
phosphate by 406.6 per cent. Potash offtake decreased by 54.8 percent. Urea offtake during
August 2009 was 598 thousand tonnes, which went up by 42.2 per cent over August 2008. DAP
offtake was about 205 thousand tonnes, as compared to 24 thousand tonnes of August 2008.

3. FERTILIZER PRODUCTION AND IMPORTED SUPPLIES

Imported supplies during August were 334 thousand tonnes comprising 180 thousand tonnes of
urea, 153 thousand tonnes of DAP and 1 thousand tonne of TSP. Production of all fertilizer
products during August was about 603 thousand tonnes: Urea 453 thousand tonnes, DAP 59
thousand tonnes, CAN 36 thousand tonnes, NP 36 thousand tonnes and SSP 18 thousand tonnes.
The production of NPK’s blends has been recorded only about one thousand tonnes.

4. PRICE TREND

Domestic: Average prices of nitrogenous fertilizers like urea, CAN and AS decreased while
that of phosphatic products increased with the highest increase recorded in price of DAP by 5.2
percent. Price of SOP also witnessed increase by 2 percent.

International: Urea prices firmed up and were quoted at US $ 235-265/t fob bulks Yuzhny
against 240-260/t of previous month. Arabian Gulf bagged urea reached a level of US$ 283-
290/t. DAP prices during August were in the range of US $ 305-325/t fob bulk in US Gulf and
US $ 320-330/t fob in Jordan. MAP fob bulk prices were US $ 305-330/t, TSP US $ 230-235/t
and SOP US$ 1130/t.

5. WEATHER SITUATION

During the month of August 2009 seasonal low rainfall remained well marked over Baluchistan
and adjoining Sindh. Monsoon currents were not very active consequently below normal
precipitation reported in most parts of the country. Under the influence of monsoon systems,
moderate to heavy rains/thunderstorm were reported from Azad Jammu Kashmir, northern areas,
Balakot, Faisalabad, Kamra and Rawalpindi divisions. Monsoon incursions over Sindh and costal
belt were also less frequent resulting into below than normal precipitations in this area, as well.

Major Kharif crops in the field were cotton, rice, maize and groundnut which were in the
reproductive stage of development. Weather induced problems were reported from different parts
of the country during the month of August, 2009. The floods due to rains damaged the cotton,
sugarcane and chilies crops in Punjab and some districts of NWFP. The Kharif crops were
growing normally elsewhere in the country.

6. SITUATION IN KHARIF 2009

The Kharif situation in respect of major fertilizer products Urea and DAP appears to be
satisfactory right now. The left over of this season will be transferred to next season that will help
meet the requirements of the coming Rabi 2009-10.

7. OUTLOOK FOR RABI 2009-10

Keeping in view the expected left over of Kharif 2009 and domestic production and imported
supplies, the urea availability will be around 2500 thousand tonnes against the demand of 3000
thousand tonnes. Hence, timely import of about 600 thousand tonnes would be needed for Rabi
2009-10. As far as phosphatic fertilizers are concerned, the projected offtake of the DAP is 850
thousand tonnes against the 962 thousand tonnes of availability (production and imports), thus
the situation appears to be satisfactory. Other phosphatic fertilizer products like MAP, TSP, NP
and SSP will also be available to supplement the DAP availability.

7. SITUATION IN KHARIF 2009

A picture of fertilizer situation during current Kharif season is presented in table 5, which is
almost to over. The data confirm 3,335 thousand tonnes urea availability comprising 705
thousand tonnes of imported supplies and 2,592 thousand tonnes of domestic production against
3,197 thousand tonnes demand. Similarly 1029 thousand tonnes DAP is available to meet the
demand of 818 thousand tonnes. Therefore the situation remains generally comfortable.

8. OUTLOOK FOR RABI 2009-10

Table 6 presents an outlook for Rabi 2009-10. The figures are based on estimates of domestic
production, demand forecasts by NFDC and lined up imports reported internationally as well as
discussed in the Fertilizer Review Committee meeting held on August 18, 2009.

Rabi 2009-10 is expected to start with an opening inventory of 131 thousand tonnes of urea
whereas projected domestic production will be 2450 thousand tonnes. There will be demand of at
least 3000 tonnes. Hence, additional imports of about 600 thousand tonnes would be needed to
avoid any shortage during Rabi 2009-10.

The opening inventory of DAP for Rabi 2009-10 would be around 212 thousand tonnes.
Domestic production is estimated at 300 thousand tonnes. An import of 450 thousand tonnes of

DAP is needed to meet demand during Rabi. Other complimentary products such as MAP, SSP,
NP and TSP would also be available in the market to meet the emerging demand.
