Punjab farmers are reporting difficulty buying DAP fertilizer needed for wheat sowing, during the roughly 15-day window after paddy harvest. State agriculture officials say stocks and incoming supply are sufficient.
Farmers in Firozpur, Fazilka and Mansa have protested, alleging dealers force bundled purchases or charge above the subsidised price of Rs 1,350 per 50 kg bag.
Delayed DAP availability could push back wheat sowing in Punjab, India's key rabi crop, and tighter local phosphate supply supports fertilizer prices. The effect on feed grain prices is limited because the story is local to one state.
