Farmers in different states have protested against unavailability of fertilisers

Global rise in fertiliser prices due to shortage has dealt a severe blow to farmers across India, which is the second-largest importer of fertilisers. Many states have seen cultivators erupting in protest, even as the Centre dismissed news of low availability of fertilisers.

Dattaraye P Darekar from Vinchur village in Maharashtra is worried about his soybean and maize crops sown over four hectares (ha). Shopkeepers in his village have been talking of a fertiliser shortage. 

“They are telling us (farmers) that in the next 15 days, there will be a shortage of urea and sulphate, and that the prices will increase further. That is the time when I will need these fertilisers for my crops,” he said. 

He doesn’t have the money to purchase in advance and stock fertilisers, he said, and is waiting to make money from selling his onion crops first. 

Fertiliser prices have risen nearly 30 per cent since the beginning of 2022, following last year’s 80 per cent surge. The rise was driven by factors like surging input costs, supply disruptions due to sanctions (Belarus and Russia) as well as export restrictions in China.
