Farmers are at risk of facing fertiliser shortages, which could disrupt the sowing process and impact crop yields. The delays in fertiliser distribution come at a time when kharif sowing has accelerated due to improved rainfall in early July. Industry officials warn that inland logistics bottlenecks and global supply chain disruptions could worsen the situation. Supplies of DAP remain constrained due to limited global availability of ammonia and sulphur, critical raw materials for fertiliser production.
