Why Is Urea Costing More When India Has Surplus Stock?

The Government has stated that India currently holds significantly more Urea than the country's immediate requirement. Yet many farmers continue to report higher prices and difficulty obtaining Urea at the official MRP.
If stock isn't the problem, then what is?

In this reel, we examine the available data, discuss possible reasons behind the mismatch between supply and availability, explain the official MRP, and outline what farmers can do if they are charged more or asked to purchase unwanted products.

This provides protection to newly formed tissue and hidden feeding sites (leaf undersides), offering both contact and stomach action on target pests. Users typically observe rapid reduction in pest activity and residual control lasting up to 10–14 days under normal conditions. Where and when to use Actara is recommended across vegetables (to...
