# Maha Cultivation: Fertiliser Stocks Available as Farmers Prepare for Planting

> Sri Lanka's National Fertilizer Secretariat says current stocks and incoming supplies are sufficient for the Maha season. Around 218,000 tonnes of urea are expected to be available against a requirement of about 180,000 tonnes, and basal fertiliser stocks exceed the estimated 25,000-tonne need.

## Why it matters

Adequate local fertiliser supply for the Maha season reduces near-term import pressure on urea and phosphate products, which are tight globally due to Middle East disruptions. The story is a routine supply assurance with limited effect on global prices.
