The present study aimed at finding out the impact of varying fertilizer and paddy rice prices upon level of fertilizer use and rice productivity in Sheikhupura district. Data collected from 100 respondents were analysed by using Cobb-Douglas production function. The results of the study indicate that recent increase in N and P prices has reduced rice output and farmers profits upto 6.4 and 8.03% respec-tively, To maintain the same level of rice productivity at existing N and P prices, it is necessary to raise paddy prices from Rs. 130 to Rs. 159 per 40 kg.
