# Kheri Farmers Forced to Buy Costly DAP Fertilizer Amid Cooperative Strike

> 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.
