In a decisive nationwide action, the Department of Fertilizers (DoF), in close coordination with the Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare (DA&FW) and State Governments, has launched a massive crackdown on black marketing, hoarding, diversion, and sale of sub-standard fertilizers to safeguard farmers’ interests and ensure smooth supply during the Kharif and ongoing Rabi season 2025–26.
Under the joint supervision of the Secretaries of Fertilizers and Agriculture, an unprecedented enforcement campaign was carried out across India to secure the fertilizer distribution chain.
This coordinated initiative involved raids, inspections, and legal actions by district authorities, ensuring that fertilizers reached genuine farmers without artificial shortages or manipulation in the market.
