Farmers in Deoria district in Uttar Pradesh report that diammonium phosphate (DAP) is unavailable at cooperative societies during the rabi sowing season. Private shops are selling a bag for Rs 1,600, versus Rs 1,350 at the cooperatives, and farmers say shopkeepers force other products on them.
Local DAP shortages during wheat and mustard sowing could delay planting and push up fertilizer costs for farmers, adding to pressure on Indian crop output and demand for imported phosphate.
After 31 past bullish logistics events, DAP moved a median +0.5% over 5 sessions (58% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.9%), and +1.6% over 20.
