Govt Monitoring Urea Supply for Rabi Season
The government is keeping a close eye on the supply of urea, which is a type of fertilizer, to make sure farmers have enough for the Rabi season.
This is the time of year when certain crops are grown.
The Minister said there is plenty of urea available, but some people might be trying to make farmers worry.
So far, about 4 lakh metric tonnes of urea have been given to farmers, and there is even more in reserve.
Farmers are also buying extra urea this year compared to last year.
The government has also introduced a mobile app to help farmers buy urea more easily.
The Minister wants farmers to use this app to make the process smoother.
Government is monitoring urea supplies to ensure farmers have enough for the Rabi season.
Total urea requirement for the season is 10.40 lakh metric tonnes, with 4 lakh metric tonnes already supplied.
Farmers purchased an additional 1 lakh tonnes of urea this December compared to last year.
Rabi cultivation this season has covered 13.89 lakh acres, including 3.94 lakh acres of paddy and 5.45 lakh acres of maize.
