LAHORE: Diammonium phosphate (DAP), Urea and all other fertiliser stocks are available in sufficient quantity to meet the demand of farmers in Punjab.

A spokesman for the Punjab Agriculture Department said this here on Sunday.

The district government has ordered the fertiliser dealers to display prices of fertilisers and sell the commodity as per prices, announced by the government.

Farmers may contact Directorate General of Agriculture (Ext & AR) on 042-99200749 or 042-99203709 for registration of their complaint regarding fertiliser prices, he added.

He said that the Punjab government was striving to keep the prices of fertilisers under control in the interest of farming community and stakeholders.
