FAISALABAD: There is no shortage of fertiliser in Faisalabad, as ample stock is available to meet needs of Rabi crops. These views were expressed by acting EDO Agriculture, Chaudhary Abdul Hameed, while chairing a meeting of officers of the Agriculture Department and representatives of fertiliser dealers.
He said that about 1.5 lac bags of DAP fertilisers were required for Rabi crops in Faisalabad, while the same number of urea fertilisers were sufficient to fulfill demands of growers.
He asked the fertiliser dealers to display rate lists and dealership certificates at prominent places in their shops to facilitate farmers and to help eliminate overcharging. He also directed Agriculture DDOs to keep a vigilant eye on the control of fertiliser prices and take strict action against spurious fertiliser dealers. APP
