Secretaries at cooperative societies in Kheri, Uttar Pradesh, have been on strike since October 22, halting fertilizer distribution. Farmers are buying DAP from private shops at higher prices as rabi sowing of mustard, gram, linseed and peas proceeds.
Some cooperatives have distributed limited DAP and urea stocks and expect new supplies later.
Local DAP shortages and higher private-market prices raise cultivation costs and could delay rabi sowing, with limited direct effect on global feed commodity prices.
After 31 past bullish logistics events, DAP moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.9%), and +1.6% over 20.
Moves of each commodity's benchmark from the last close before the event. Historical reads pool past events of the same kind; they describe what happened, not what will. Not investment advice.
