Andhra Agriculture Department ensures adequate supply of fertilisers for Kharif 2025
VIJAYAWADA: The Agriculture Department has rolled out a comprehensive strategy to ensure uninterrupted fertiliser supply for the upcoming Kharif 2025 season, aiming to meet the needs of farmers across Andhra Pradesh.
A total of 16.76 lakh metric tonnes of fertilisers have been allocated, including 6.22 lakh tonnes of Urea, 2.60 lakh tonnes of DAP, 0.70 lakh tonnes of MOP, 0.94 lakh tonnes of SSP, and 6.30 lakh tonnes of complex fertilisers.
As of April 1, 2025, the State held an opening stock of 7.14 lakh metric tonnes. Between April 1 and June 6, an additional 3.95 lakh metric tonnes were received, well above the 2.07 lakh tonnes required for that period. By June 6, the total stock reached 11.09 lakh metric tonnes.
During this period, 2 lakh metric tonnes were sold, including 0.92 lakh tonnes of Urea and 0.62 lakh tonnes of complex fertilisers. The remaining 9.09 lakh metric tonnes are stored across cooperative societies, Rythu Seva Kendras (RSKs), Markfed godowns, and retail outlets, with another 2.01 lakh tonnes ready for immediate distribution.
For June 2025, the Centre has allocated 2.35 lakh tonnes to Andhra Pradesh to maintain consistent availability. Distribution is being carried out through RSKs, cooperatives, and private dealers. To enhance efficiency, the State is also encouraging the use of Nano Urea and Nano DAP as substitutes for conventional fertilisers.

Nano urea revolutionised agriculture sector slashing chemical fertiliser use: Mansukh Mandaviya
New Delhi: Nano urea, based on nanotechnology, has revolutionised the agriculture sector, and has slashed the use of chemical fertilisers that are harmful to soil and health, Union Minister of Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya said. In a video shared by Modi Story, a handle on social media platform X, Union Minister Mandaviya narrated how a simple suggestion to Prime Minister Narendra Modi by a young scientist paved the way for the development of nano urea in the country. Mandaviya said that this led to the development of the world's first nano urea plant in India, in partnership with the Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO). IFFCO launched the world's first 'Nano Liquid Urea' fertiliser in June 2021 and came up with Nano-DAP (di-ammonium phosphate) fertilisers in April 2023. Besides local farmers, the technologies are also being recognised internationally. 'I still remember how PM Narendra Modi Ji turned a simple suggestion into the revolutionary breakthrough of nano urea. Modi Ji doesn't just listen; he transforms ideas into impactful solutions. That's true leadership!' Mandaviya said, in response to the post on X. He stated that nano urea, developed using nanotechnology and which contains plant nutrients in very small particle sizes provides a safer alternative to the chemical fertilisers that can contaminate soil. 'Today, a 100 ml Nano Urea bottle replaces a full sack of urea, slashing transport costs, protecting soil, and helping farmers,' said Mandaviya, who was earlier the Fertiliser Minister. Today, the country has the potential to develop 2-3 lakh bottles of nano urea, he added. IFFCO's Nano Urea is widely recognised as a game-changer in fertilisation. It improves nutrient use efficiency, enhances nitrogen absorption, and significantly reduces nitrate leaching. Additionally, it promotes soil health, requires less water, and has a lower carbon footprint than conventional urea.
