After
rabi crop the farmers are busy in last plough. In the meantime
to increase fertility of farms super phosphate fertilizer
is required. But, it is not available in the godowns of Madhya
Pradesh. The godowns of cooperative societies of the entire
state have become empty in March month and since then the
non-availability of super phosphate is a cause of concern.
According to information, the super phospate in demand is
not available even with the private sellers. It is noticeable
that MRP and subsidy of the fertilizers, is decided by the
government. The government did not take decision in time so
super phosphate is lying in the factories of private companies.
In lack of policy decision the factory owners are not providing
super phosphate to the private sellers. Even it is not available
with the cooperative societies. Overall the situation is that
even after the availability of the fertilizer the farmers
are facing its artificial shortage The government and administration
should pay attention on this serious matter of the farmers.
Super phosphate should reach all the farmers otherwise in
shortage of it their coming crops would be affected. Specially
the Union Chemical and Fertilizer Ministry should take prompt
action in taking a policy decision as also its rate. The state
government should also take the matter seriously in the interest
of the farming community.
