Raipur, April 24, 2026\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keeping in view possible disruption in imported fertiliser supplies due to the ongoing tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran in West Asia, the Chhattisgarh Government has prepared a comprehensive strategy to ensure uninterrupted fertiliser availability for farmers during the upcoming Kharif season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the efforts of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Deo Sai, the Central Government has set a target of 15.55 lakh metric tonnes of fertiliser for Chhattisgarh for Kharif 2026. This includes 7.25 lakh metric tonnes of urea, 3 lakh metric tonnes of DAP, 2.5 lakh metric tonnes of NPK, 2 lakh metric tonnes of SSP and 80,000 metric tonnes of MOP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At present, around 7.48 lakh metric tonnes of fertilisers are already available in warehouses and cooperative societies across the state. The government said every registered farmer will receive adequate fertiliser in a timely and transparent manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agriculture Minister Shri Ramvichar Netam stated that as of March 30, total fertiliser stock in the state stood at 7.48 lakh metric tonnes. This includes 2,43,717 metric tonnes of urea, 1,05,631 metric tonnes of DAP, 1,69,109 metric tonnes of NPK, 50,431 metric tonnes of MOP, and 1,78,657 metric tonnes of SSP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minister added that, in view of the possible shortage of chemical fertilisers due to the situation in West Asia, farmers are being encouraged to adopt alternative nutrient options. The availability of NPK 12:32:16, NPK 20:20:0:13, green manure, organic manure, and nano fertilisers is being expanded across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further said the state government has issued directions for the formation of district-level flying squads and monitoring committees to prevent black marketing and hoarding of fertilisers. Strict legal action will be taken against anyone found to be involved in irregularities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agriculture Production Commissioner Smt Shahla Nigar chaired a review meeting with officials of Raipur and Durg divisions regarding preparations for Kharif 2026. She instructed officials to complete farmer registrations on the Agristack portal through the PM-Kisan database at the earliest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Officials were also directed to implement the new e-distribution system for seed and fertiliser supply. Farmers are being encouraged to use green manure, bio-fertilisers and blue-green algae as sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She also ordered strict enforcement in districts to stop hoarding, diversion and black marketing of fertilisers. Under the Pradhan Mantri Annadata Aay Sanrakshan Abhiyan (Price Support Scheme), procurement of pulses and oilseed crops has also been prioritised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further directions were issued to promote aromatic paddy varieties in every district, while expanding cultivation of pulses, oilseeds and horticulture crops such as oil palm, makhana and spices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
