BKU Sidhupur to Hold Protest on DAP Shortage

The BKU leaders in Sidhupur have announced a protest scheduled for October 14, driven by the ongoing shortage of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertiliser. Farmers are facing inflated prices from private dealers, exacerbating the challenges of agricultural production in the region. This situation reflects broader supply chain disruptions that have affected fertiliser availability across India, particularly in the wake of recent floods.

What this means

• Farmers: Increased costs and limited access to DAP could lead to reduced crop yields.
• Turf & Greenkeepers: Potential challenges in maintaining turf health due to fertiliser shortages.
• Industry: Urgent need for government intervention to stabilize fertiliser prices and ensure equitable distribution.

Outlook: Continued protests may prompt policy changes to address the DAP shortage and improve supply chain efficiency.
