## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE FOR CHEMICALS & FERTILIZERS (SHRI BHAGWANTH KHUBA)

(a) & (b):  The availability of fertilizers viz. Urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS has remained comfortable across India as per the requirement of the states.

Before the commencement of each cropping season, Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare (DA&FW) assesses the state-wise & month-wise requirement of fertilizers.  To fulfil  this  requirement  of fertilizers in  the  states (including rural tribal and remote areas) across the country, as per assessment done by DA&FW, Department of Fertilizers allocates adequate quantities of fertilizers to States by issuing monthly supply plans. The movement of all major subsidized fertilizers is monitored through web-based monitoring  system  called  integrated  Fertilizer  Monitoring  System  (iFMS).  Further,  the inter/intra-district distribution of fertilizers is being done by the respective state to meet the field requirement within the state.

(c) & (d):   The availability scenario of fertilizers viz. Urea, DAP, MOP and NPKS across all the states including the state of Assam is enclosed at Annexure - A .  Further, the distribution of fertilizers within the states, particularly to the Tea Estates, is done by state governments.
