Effective agricultural supply chain management is critical for food security and rural economic stability in agrarian regions.
There is no dearth of urea or other chemical fertilisers in the district, and those who spread rumours about the shortage will face strict action, said NTR District Collector G. Lakshmisha.
Addressing the media at the Collectorate in Vijayawada on Monday (July 13, 2026), the Collector said there is adequate amount of chemical fertilisers and there is no need for farmers to worry.
The government follows a transparent fertiliser distribution system through the A.P. Agribusiness Information Management System app, and fertilisers are given to farmers based on online land records. This is to ensure that every farmer receives only the quantity required by them. Moreover, steps are being taken to ensure that not only those who own land, but also tenant farmers get the required fertilisers, Mr. Lakshmisha said.
