The Rajasthan Government is making arrangements for supply of an additional 45,000 tonnes of di-ammonium phosphate used as fertilizer for crops in view of a good monsoon this year. The buffer stock of 2 lakh tonnes of DAP will also be used for the rabi crops to be sown during the next two months. State Cooperative Minister Parsadilal Meena said here on Tuesday that the additional demand from farmers for fertilizers would be met through cooperative societies which would get DAP from Indian Potash Limited and Indian Farmers' Fertiliser Cooperative Limited. Reviewing the availability of DAP with Principal Cooperative Secretary R. K. Meena and Registrar of Cooperative Societies P. S. Mehra here, Mr. Meena said new rakes containing 15,000 tonnes of DAP would be arriving in the State in four to five days.
