The association executive administration officer Mbawaka Phiri made this known on Thursday, saying that Russia is a major exporter of natural gas which is used to produce Urea and other fertilizers.
She said in the 2022/2023 agriculture season, the country should expect higher prices of fertilizer than of the previous farming season.
Meanwhile, Phiri has expressed fear that a plan by government not to engage middlemen in the procurement of fertilizer will suffocate the private sector.
