To ensure adequate and timely supply of fertilizers to farmers in the next 2022 Kharif season, the government targets
higher-than-expected opening stock of urea and DAP nutrients, a senior government official said on
Wednesday. Normally, sowing in the Kharif (summer) season begins with the onset of Southwest monsoon in July. However, the fertilizer requirement for the Kharif season is mostly between April and September. Stating that preparations have been made to source the fertilizers and raw materials from the global market for the next season, the official said this will help in maintaining
higher-than-expected opening stocks of urea and Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP). which are widely consumed in the country.
