KRIBHCO plans DAP imports amid West Asia crisis and El Nino concerns
What happened
Fertilizer cooperative KRIBHCO plans to import 3-4 lakh tonnes of non-urea fertilizers, including Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) and NPK, for the upcoming rabi season. The cooperative previously imported 8 lakh tonnes of DAP and 1 lakh tonne of NPK for the kharif season. Global prices for these non-urea fertilizers remain firm due to the West Asia crisis.
Why it matters
The West Asia crisis is keeping global prices for DAP around $900 a tonne and NPK around $915 a tonne. KRIBHCO noted that these firm prices are a matter of concern. Additionally, the cooperative is factoring in a possible reduction in rabi demand due to El Nino.
