Cabinet Approves Rs 28,655 Net Subsidy to P & K Fertilizers for Rabi Season for the Benefit of Farmers ; additional grant to DAP

 The government announced on Tuesday a net subsidy of Rs 28,655 crore for phosphate and potash (P&K) fertilizers for October / March of this fiscal year to ensure that farmers get affordable nutrients during the rabbi planting season.

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA), chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the Nutrient Based Subsidy Rates (NBS) for Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizers for the period from October 2021 to March 2022. The Rabi season begins in October.

 According to the NBS, the funding rates for N (nitrogen) per kg have been set at Rs 18,789, P (phosphor) Rs 5,323, K (potash) Rs 10,116 and S (sulfur) Rs 2,37, according to an official statement. 

The NBS rate, which was raised in June for the Kharif season (April / September), has been extended through March 2022, according to sources.

Although the NBS rate was not increased, sources said that through a one-time special package, the government provided additional subsidies of around 6.5 billion rupees to DAP (diammonium phosphate) and three other NPK fertilizers to help keep retail prices high.

 After urea, DAP is the most used by farmers. According to an official statement, the "total amount of the renovation will be 28,602 million rupees".

The government said it had also provided a special one-time package of additional subsidies to DAP for a preliminary additional cost of Rs 5,716 billion.

A one-time special package of additional subsidies was provided for the three most consumed NPK varieties, namely NPK 102626, NPK 2020013 and NPK 123216, at the price of Rs 837 crore.

The general subsidy required could be Rs 35,a hundred and fifteen crore, the announcement said.

The CCEA additionally authorized the inclusion of potash derived from molasses (0:0:14.5:0) beneathneath the NBS Scheme.

"Net subsidy required for Rabi 2021-22 after deducting financial savings could be Rs 28,655 crore," as in keeping with the announcement.

In June additionally, the CCEA had raised the subsidies for DAP and a few different non-urea fertilisers with the aid of using Rs 14,775 crore.

The government had allocated nearly Rs 79.6 billion for fertilizer subsidies in the 202122 budget and the figures may increase after additional subsidies are made available. sources said that total fertilizer subsidies would exceed Rs 1 million lakh this fiscal year.

In listing the benefits, the government said Tuesday that the additional subsidy would allow all PandK fertilizers to be readily available to farmers during the 202122 Rabi season at subsidized / affordable prices.

The center supports farmers and the agricultural sector by continuing the previous level of subsidies and awarding special packages with additional subsidies for DAP and three mainly consumed NPK varieties. 4,444 "There will be Rs 438 per bag for Di Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and Rs 100 per bag for NPK 102 626, NPK 202 013 and NPK 13216 respectively to keep the prices of these fertilizers affordable for farmers," the statement said.

In June, the government increased the DAP subsidy by 140 percent to Rs 1,200 per 50 kg bag to ensure that farmers continue to obtain this important fertilizer at an affordable price despite rising world prices.

The government provides fertilizers, namely urea and 24 types of P&K fertilizers, to farmers at subsidized prices through manufacturers / importers.

The P&K fertilizer subsidy will be regulated by the NBS program as of April 2010.

In the case of urea, the center has set the maximum retail prices and reimburses the difference between the MRP and the cost of production in the form of subsidies.

Vegetable prices in Delhi rise 25%, wholesalers blame rain and rising fuel prices

 The state capital is experiencing a 25% increase in vegetable prices, infuriating wholesalers who claim that rain and a rise in fuel prices are the main reasons behind the price increase.

Adil Khan, president of Azadpur Agricultural Market, said: “Generally, the prices of vegetables go up after the rainy season. But this time the situation is a little different. The way fuel prices are rising is causing problems Vegetables arriving in Delhi come from other states. And from Azadpur Mandi it is shipped to NCR and North India. Due to the rise in diesel prices, the price increased by 15 percent ”.

“The effects are shown like this in vegetables and fruits. The price that went up due to the rainy season will go down over time, but I think the price that went up for diesel will go down when the central government cuts fuel prices, "Khan said.

" The situation in Azadpur Mandi is that they have to buying vegetables from distant places as crops in neighboring states have been spoiled by the rain. When the new harvests arrive, the prices of vegetables will go down. There will certainly be a drop in vegetable prices later this month. In general, vegetable prices increase by 10-15% after monsoons and decrease when new crops arrive. But this time it went up 25 because of the increase in fuel prices, "Khan added.

Mahesh, a wholesaler from Okhla Mandi, said:" Tomatoes used to cost 1020 rupees in the wholesale market, now it is 40 rupees, the reason is a increased rains in Maharashtra and Karnataka, where all crops have been damaged. That's why prices have gone up. "
" An increase in fuel prices is also one of the reasons, but the main reason for the increase in vegetable prices is the rain. The work is less than before. We don't have much work. Products sell, but not the way they used to be. People have no money. After Covid, everyone is lost. A person who used to buy 1 kg of tomatoes will now buy 250 g. People are consuming less because prices have risen, ”he added.
Abdul Rasheed, another Okhla Mandi wholesaler, said: “There is inflation. Consumption is less. The goods that go on the market are less. Fuel prices are going up. It has a direct impact on the cost of goods. There is no income. The goods are not for sale. Everyone is worried be it consumers or be it, sellers. Business is finished".
Abrar Ahmed, a wholesaler at Okhla Mandi said, "The price of Ridged Gourd (Tori) is 2030 rupees per kg. Earlier we used to get it at 1214 rupees. We used to sell it at 1516 rupees and earn 12 rupees from it. Today the price is 30 rupees. So if we give a customer the price of Rs 40, they refuse to buy it. It is not just the vegetables that are expensive. There is inflation in everything, be it oil, grain, "said Ahmed.

Mohammad Yameen, a wholesaler from Okhla Mandi, said:" A fortnight ago the price of onions was 2025 rupees per kg. Today the price is Rs 3035 kg. One of the reasons for the price increase is the rain. Crops are damaged by rain in Karnataka, Rajasthan, Haryana. Another reason why transportation costs increased. Another reason why transportation costs increased. Customers come, but fewer goods are sold. "

Gasoline in Delhi costs Rs 104.44 per liter, while diesel is available for Rs 93.17. In Mumbai, gasoline costs Rs 110.41, while diesel is available for Rs. Diesel costs Rs 101.03.
