In Cรดte dโ€™Ivoire, the government confirmed 25.3 billion FCFA to stabilize seed cotton prices and keep fertilizer costs unchanged for 2025:
Urea: 17,050 FCFA (~$28) per 50kg
NPK 15-15-15+6S+1B: 18,100 FCFA (~$30) per 50kg
This move supports farmers by easing input costs and ensuring price stability. ๐ŸŒฑ
