Govt. temporarily halts importation of compost

The government has decided to suspend the importation of compost fertilizers, says the Director-General of Agriculture.

Earlier this month, the Cabinet of Ministers had approved a proposal to import compost.

The approval came after the government decided to ban the import of chemical fertilizers in a bid to promote toxic-free diets.

However, the decision to import compost has been overturned, taking into account its impacts.
