India reviews urea supply as shortages continue

摘要

The Indian Department of Fertilizers (DoF) is assessing the supply situation for urea in response to further shortages in Haryana and Punjab. Indian media cite riots at distribution centers operated at local police stations to protest at the shortages. Political pressure is building for the central government to clear procurement of additional imports despite the massive supplies booked via the September 17 MMTC tender (1.77 million mt purchased), the October 29 STC tender (1.1 million mt) and the December 3 IPL tender (1.15 million mt).
