The state-owned cooperative society Markfed in Punjab has resolved to supply fertilizers to farmers at the rate that existed in the past.
According to Markfed sources, there are more than lakh tonnes of DAP available with them and arrangements are being worked out to distribute fertilizers among the Punjab farmers.
Sources claim distribution of fertilizers at the rate being supplied through the state cooperative society is a bargain that costs farmers much less than normal.
Punjab watchers say the move is bound to impart a much needed fillip to agricultural development in the state.
