"The problems in fertiliser production would be addressed to reduce import dependency, which would significantly save foreign currency," he said.
Adilur said the various institutions under the Ministry of Industries are operating at a loss, and proper measures will be taken to identify the issues and make these institutions profitable.
"There is no choice but to be stringent against corruption. We have taken on this responsibility through much sacrifice. There is no question of allowing new corruption to occur," he added.
