## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS

## ( SMT. ANUPRIYA PATEL )

- (a) to (c)  The  availability  of  fertilizers  viz.  Urea,  DAP,  MOP  and  NPKS  across  the  States remained adequate during the Rabi 2024-25 season. The information regarding demand and supply of fertilizers across the States, including the States/UTs of Maharashtra, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Madhya Pradesh, during the Rabi 2024-25 season is placed at Annexure .
- (d) & (e)  Following  steps  are  taken  by  the  Government  before  every  cropping  season  for ensuring timely and adequate availability of fertilizers in the country:
- i.  Before  the  commencement  of  each  cropping  season,  Department  of  Agriculture  and Farmers Welfare (DA&FW), in consultation with all the State Governments, assesses the statewise & month-wise requirement of fertilizers.
- ii.  On  the  basis  of  requirement  projected  by  DA&FW,  D/o  Fertilizers  allocates  adequate quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly supply plan and continuously monitors the availability.

- iii. The movement of all major subsidized fertilizers is monitored throughout the country by an on-line web-based monitoring system called integrated Fertilizer Monitoring System (iFMS);
- iv. Regular Weekly Video Conference is conducted jointly by DA&FW and D/o Fertilizers with State Agriculture Officials and corrective actions are taken to dispatch fertilizers as indicated by the State Governments.
- v. The gap between demand (requirement) and production of fertilizers is met through imports. The import for the season is also finalized well in advance to ensure timely availability.

Accordingly, the information regarding production and imports of fertilizers during the Rabi 2024-25 season is given as per the table below:
