The 30,000 tonnes of urea fertilizer that the government is planning to import through the Government-Government (JTUG) process with India, targeting the Barkhe paddy crop, will reach Birgunj within a week.

Durga Prasad Pandey, Head of Virganj Regional Office of Madhesh Regional Office, said that the work of packing the manure that arrived at India's Kolkata Port in sacks to bring to Nepal is continuing. 

'As the fertilizer is in the process of packing, it is likely to enter Nepal this week,' he said, 'The railway rack bringing fertilizer from Kolkata will arrive in Birgunj within three days.' The company has received a contract for the supply of fertilizer for this consignment from the Government of India. 

Earlier, Pandey said that the second railway rack under the company's consignment of 30,000 tons of urea fertilizer arrived at the Sirsia dry port in Birganj on Wednesday. "The first rack arrived at Raxaul and the second rack arrived at the dry port," he said, "one rack usually carries 2,500 tons of fertilizer." Pandey said that as the company is going to import 30,000 tons of urea fertilizer from this consignment, only 16,000 tons will arrive for the time being.  Sun International is the supplier of 30,000 tons of urea fertilizer for
