Don’t make the planned tariff hike a scapegoat for the companies managerial problems. They said they could not afford it (the hike), but actually it s because they are facing various internal problems.

The total production of the four plants will be small as they are just pilot projects, but we expect it to eventually expand, with private investors becoming involved as demand increases.

The decision on the tariff increase must be transparent, managerially accountable and rational.

The figures on Chinese textile imports that we have from Customs and Excise and the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) show no major increase.

It (the volume of subsidized fertilizer) will not change.

Therefore, the government will launch an operation to enforce the law against the practice.

There are opinions, no way that our natural gas industry do not support the growth and development of industry at home.

This is my own opinion but I have raised it a limited cabinet minister’s meeting. The energy and mineral resources minister and the vice president have agreed to it.
