# DAP Fertiliser Shipments Delayed at Karachi Port as Wheat Sowing Season Begins

> Imported DAP shipments are delayed at Karachi Port because of berthing queues, congestion and cargo-handling and customs delays. The disruption is restricting fertilizer supplies in Punjab and Sindh during the wheat-sowing period, with some dealers limiting sales and farmers concerned about rising prices.
