Imphal, August 01 2017:
All Manipur Fertilizer Dealers’ Welfare Association has clarified that urea dealers under the association would not be able to provide urea to farmers not less than Rs 550 per bag even as the State Government assured the farmers of the State that urea will be provided to them at subsidised rate .
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club today, Yendrenbam Madhuchandra, secretary of the association said that procurement of urea from outside the State involved a huge cost therefore the association cannot provide urea to the farmers not less than Rs 550 per bag .
If the State Government insists that urea should be provided to farmers at Rs 304 per bag then subsidy should be provided to the dealers, he said.
