# There is no fertiliser crisis in the country: Agriculture minister | The Business Standard

> Bangladesh's agriculture minister said there is no fertiliser shortage and that the government has redetermined chemical fertiliser demand for fiscal 2020-21. The government will procure an additional 100,000 tonnes of urea and 200,000 tonnes of DAP. Total planned demand is 2.55 million tonnes of urea, 1.5 million tonnes of DAP and 6 million tonnes of TSP, MOP and gypsum.

## Why it matters

Additional government tenders for urea and DAP add modest import demand in South Asia, which can support fertiliser prices. The effect on feed-grain markets is limited.
