National Krishak Shakti has called for farmer interests, transparency and accountability in implementing the revised Integrated Fertilizer Dealer Appointment and Distribution Policy-2025. In a joint statement published on August 12, convenor Saeed Ujjwal and member secretary agriculturist Golam Mortuza Selis presented eight proposals to address fertilizer shortages. They called for an accessible farmer complaint system, strict penalties for overpricing, hoarding and harassment, and immediate cancellation of dealership licences when irregularities are proven.
The group said DAP fertilizer, officially priced at Tk1,050, has reportedly been sold for Tk1,700 to Tk2,200 in several areas. It demanded an investigation and action against those responsible. It also warned that dealership redistribution could create disorder in the fertilizer market and an artificial shortage during the Aman season. The organization welcomed ending multiple dealerships within one family and reorganizing dealer units in unions and municipalities, but rejected the decision to abolish sub-dealer and retail systems.
National Krishak Shakti proposed priority for interested farmers in sub-dealer appointments, incentives for organic fertilizer use and retention of all agriculture-related subsidies. It urged full digitalization of fertilizer supply, stock and sales using smart agriculture card data. The group also called for eligible existing retailers to receive priority as authorized sales representatives, while others should receive low-interest loans, training and rehabilitation support.
