Agri forum Pakistan Chairman Muhammad Ibrahim Mughal has urged the government to give representation to growers in Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) as they are one of the biggest consumers of diesel and petrol and fertiliser which is made of gas. Mughal said about 9 billion litre diesel is used per annum in the country out of which four billion is used for agricultural purposes. .
Similarly, growers are the buyers of fertiliser worth Rs300 billion made of natural gas. Thus, growers are the biggest buyers of oil and gas and paying billions to the government in taxes every year. Speaking at a meeting here Tuesday, Mughal said agriculture and farmers were the biggest sufferers whenever prices of oil and gas were increased.
