Farmers across Punjab report difficulty buying diammonium phosphate (DAP) fertiliser for the wheat sowing season, alleging distributors force bundled purchases or charge above the government-fixed price of Rs 1,350 per 50-kg bag. The state Agriculture Department says there is no shortage and that stocks plus supplies in transit are sufficient.
Tight DAP availability during the wheat sowing window points to firm phosphate fertiliser demand in India and possible black-market price pressure, though the official stance of ample supply limits the scope for a broader price move.
