According to the Department of Fertilizers, the fertilizer stocks for Kharif season are currently strong and well managed. The government has asked farmers not to panic buy or store excess fertilizer, as supplies will reach every state and district based on demand.

Authorities said domestic production and imports continue to strengthen availability. India currently holds fertilizer stocks covering more than 51% of the expected seasonal demand. Officials say this level is higher than the usual buffer stock required for the season.

The government also confirmed that prices of major fertilizers, including urea and other nutrient-based fertilizers, will remain stable. Officials are monitoring distribution closely and working with state governments to ensure farmers receive fertilizers on time and at the correct price.

Despite the central government offering subsidies between Rs. 2200 and Rs. 2400 on urea, Kishan Reddy questioned how this price discrepancy occurred and demanded an explanation from the Congress party.

Reddy emphasized that the government needs to ensure the proper distribution of fertilizers to avoid shortages. He also called for measures to ensure that every bag of urea reaches farmers without issues.

Additionally, Reddy criticized the Congress government for permitting illegal practices in the market. He highlighted that contractors have failed to settle their bills, causing delays in work and adding to the difficulties faced by farmers.

In response to the arrests of BJP leaders during a protest outside the Secretariat, Reddy expressed his anger. He urged the Congress government to take responsibility for the worsening situation and address the grievances of farmers.
