# High DAP cost may hit wheat crop

> Pakistani farmers say DAP fertilizer prices have risen to about Rs14,800 per 50kg bag from roughly Rs6,000 a year earlier, and warn the cost could hurt the upcoming Rabi wheat crop. DAP offtake and imports in the first half of 2022 fell well below 2021 levels, and farmers are seeking subsidies and price cuts.
