# DAP Fertilizer Shortage in Kolhua and Mahen Cooperatives: Farmers Return Empty-Handed

> Farmers in the Devariya district of Uttar Pradesh are leaving cooperative societies without DAP fertilizer. The Kolhua society received some stock, but less than needed, causing crowding and scuffles, while Mahen and other societies have none. Farmers are buying from private shops at higher cost, and the district ADCO says the shortage is district-wide and supply efforts are ongoing.

## Why it matters
