# Prayagraj Meja Fertilizer Crisis | Farmers Struggle For DAP & NPK

> Nine cooperative societies in the Meja and Uruwa blocks of Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, have no DAP in stock, which is affecting potato and wheat sowing. NPK is available but farmers are refusing it because it costs about ₹750 more than DAP, and farmers say they have been visiting the societies for 15 days.

## Why it matters

Shortages of DAP at local cooperatives during sowing can cut phosphate application and keep demand tight, while farmers' reluctance to buy the pricier NPK shows how sensitive demand is to price gaps.
