    The document provides fertilizer production, import, and consumption statistics for Pakistan from 2005-2010. It notes that urea production fell short of demand by 150,000 tons in 2010-2011 due to natural gas shortages for fertilizer plants. As a result, Pakistan imported an additional 400,000 tons of urea during this period. Overall, domestic fertilizer production increased 2% from 2009-2010 to 2010-2011, with nitrogen production rising 1.4% and phosphate production increasing 5.2%.

    Fertilizer statics during 2010-11:

    Fertilizer sector is the second largest consumer of gas after power sector. Due to lack of provision of gas fertilizer industry has witnessed the urea production short fall about 150 thousand tonnes in Kharif and 200 thousand tonnes in Rabi 2010-11 and compelled additional urea imports of 400 thousand tonnes during the Kharif, 2010 and 238 thousand tonnes in Rabi, 2010-11. But still the domestic fertilizer industry witnessed positive trend in production during the year under review. The production in nutrient terms increased from 3082 thousand tonnes during 2009-10 to 3143 thousand tonnes during 2010-11 showing an increase of 2.0 percent. Nitrogen production was 2708 thousand tonnes during 2010-11 and recorded an increase of 1.4 percent (86.2 percent share in total production), phosphate 424 thousand tonnes (13.5 percent

    share in total nutrient production), which increased by 5.2 percent. Potash blends production was 11 thousand tones and was high by 10.0 percent over previous year (0.3 percent share in total nutrient production). Engro Chemical has installed a new urea plant with annual capacity of 1300 thousand tones, which will become operative in March, 2011 but is again closed on account of gas shortage and as soon as the gas supplies become smooth, it will start production. This will reduce the quantum of total fertilizer imports of the country, especially of nitrogenous (urea) one.
