Farmers in Char Fasson, Bangladesh, face an acute shortage of government-supplied fertilizer, while local sources allege dealers are diverting surplus stocks to smugglers who move them to Myanmar by coastal waterways. Dealers receive monthly allocations of urea, TSP, MOP and DAP, and farmers say an artificial shortage is allowing local sellers to charge higher prices.
Fertilizer diversion reduces availability in the local market and pushes up input costs for Bangladeshi farmers, potentially weighing on crop production if shortages persist. The alleged cross-border flow could also increase supply in Myanmar, though the article provides no evidence of its scale.
