# Field demand for fertiliser was 6.88 million tonnes; the allocation is 5.8 million

> For Bangladesh’s 2026–27 season, field offices estimated demand for urea, DAP, TSP and MoP at 6.879 million tonnes, while the government approved 5.805 million tonnes. Farmers in Chapainawabganj reportedly faced queues and premium-priced fertilizer, while the agricultural extension department disputed whether field-level estimates reflected actual demand.

## Why it matters

The allocation is about 1.07 million tonnes below reported demand, potentially constraining fertilizer availability and crop nutrient application. That could limit crop yields and support fertilizer prices, although the department questions the demand estimate.
