DAP dispatches from FFB disrupted

Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim, the only producer of DAP, situated in outskirts of Karachi is unable to dispatch the commodity to other parts of Pakistan. Inventory pile up is touching 25,000 tons at a time farmers need it the most.

It is feared that if dispatch of DAP is not resumed immediately the sowing of wheat crop may be affected in the country, as its application is highly recommended at the time of sowing.

CNG crisis which has been affecting intra city public transport has now also started affecting dispatch of goods to other cities from Karachi, the reason being vehicles going off road in protest.

While long-chases trucks may not be operating on CNG, groups having vested interest are creating havoc by stopping their movement.
