SaralnamaFarmers in Mau district are facing long queues to buy DAP fertilizer at cooperative societies and IFFCO centers. In Maurbogh, Ghosi block, farmers arrive by 7 am but wait for hours. Some get only two bags by 11 am. Farmers allege black marketing and forced bundling with mini urea. One farmer has been trying for 8 days without success. Last year, some had to sow wheat without fertilizer. Agriculture officer Som Prakash Gupta assures adequate DAP supply and warns of strict action against overpricing. From today, farmers queue early. Until next week, supply issues may continue. Next month, officials hope to resolve the shortage. (Updated 23 Oct 2025, 15:34 IST; source: link)
