  "account": "In August 2026, almost every fertilizer company experienced a decline in urea sales compared to the previous year, with the exception of Engro Fertilizers. Pakistan's urea sales fell by 14 percent year-on-year, settling at 701,000 tons. This decline occurred despite a 21 percent increase in offtake from the previous month, when sales were 580,000 tons. Engro Fertilizers was the sole company to witness growth in a declining market, with urea sales increasing by 18 percent year-on-year to 327,000 tons. This near-doubling of sales propelled Engro ahead of Fauji Fertilizer as the largest urea seller for the month. Fauji Fertilizer and Bin Qasim Limited's combined offtake fell by 30 percent year-on-year to 226,000 tons, while Fatima Group saw a 20 percent decline to 140,000 tons. Agritech Limited posted the most significant drop, down 78 percent to just 9,000 tons. Overall, urea offtake for the first eight months of 2026 stood at 3.79 million tons, nearly unchanged from the same period in the previous year. In terms of rankings, FFC's sales rose by 11 percent to 1.90 million tons, while Engro's decreased by 12 percent to 1.03 million tons, and Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited edged up by 3 percent to 681,000 tons. Similarly, the DAP market also witnessed a similar trend, with offtake falling by 10 percent year-on-year to 123,000 tons, despite a 32 percent increase in offtake from the previous month. FFC and FFBL together sold 91,000 tons of DAP, a 15 percent decline, while Engro more than doubled its DAP sales to 16,000 tons and private imports fell by 24 percent to 15,000 tons. Over the first eight months of 2026, DAP offtake stood at 701,000 tons, flat compared to the same period last year. Notably, private imports rose by 22 percent to 122,000 tons during this period.",
