Haryana Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister Shyam Singh Rana on Friday directed the concerned officials to keep a record of DAP and urea fertilizers and also make arrangements for farmers so that State's fertilizers do not go to other states. The transplantation of paddy has almost been completed and now the consumption of DAP and urea fertilizers will increase in the crop, he added.
Presiding over a review meeting with the officials of the Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Department, Rana said, “If someone does black marketing of fertilizers, sells fake medicines and seeds, then action should be taken against him. If the dealer is forcibly selling any other product along with fertilizer to the farmers, then action should be taken against him. Officials should keep a record of fertilizer sales every day and try to immediately resolve the problems faced by the farmers.”
He further said that the process of getting crop insurance has started under the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana. Farmers should be made aware to get their crops insured. If any company is not doing insurance, then a report should also be prepared for this, so that farmers do not face any problem.
The Minister further said that natural farming is the need of the hour and Haryana has taken an initiative to promote it. The inclination of farmers towards this farming is also increasing continuously. Natural farming will not only reduce environmental pollution, there will also be availability of good and nutritious food. The use of NPK fertilizers will be increased by reducing the use of chemical fertilizers in farming. He said the transplantation of paddy has almost been completed and now the consumption of DAP and urea fertilizers will increase in the crop. Therefore, the officials should ensure that there is no shortage of fertilizers. Black marketing of urea and DAP fertilizers should be stopped, he added.
