India will supply 80,000 tonnes of fertiliser to Nepal under a government-to-government arrangement after Kathmandu sought help due to supply disruptions linked to West Asia tensions. The shipment aims to support Nepal’s agriculture during the upcoming farming season
Farmers in many States have been grappling with a shortage of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) during the ongoing Rabi season, despite the government's efforts to ensure adequate supplies. The shortage is attributed to several geo-political factors, including the Red Sea Crisis, which has forced vessels to take longer routes via the Cape of Good Hope, causing supply chain disruptions.
This assurance came in response to a letter addressed to him by the Minister for Agriculture Thummala Nageswara Rao, stressing the need to scale up the supply of DAP to the State in view of the growing demand from the Kharif farmers.
