The long awaited Urea fertilizer of agricultural material company 'G2G' has started entering Nepal. Government of Nepal has purchased this fertilizer directly from Government of India and not through tender process.
The first rack of this consignment carrying 2,500 tons of fertilizer from Kolkata port arrived at the railway station of Raxaul, a neighboring Indian city of Birganj on Tuesday.
From Wednesday, the process of transporting by truck to the warehouse of the company's regional office in Birgunj has already started, according to Durga Prasad Pandey, the head of the company's Birgunj Regional Office. "At least 25 truckloads of urea fertilizer have been stored in our warehouse by 3 pm on Wednesday," he said.
The Government of India awarded the contract for the supply of fertilizer for this consignment to Aditya Bidla, an international fertilizer supplier. He brought this fertilizer from a third country. The government of Nepal is currently bringing this fertilizer targeting the annual rice crop season.
Out of 30,000 tons of urea of 'G2G', Madhesh Regional Office will get 11,500 tons, Bhairahawa Regional Office will get 10,000 tons and Biratnagar Regional Office will get 8,500 tons.
Pandey claims that this year the office will not have any problem in the internal management of manure as manure has started coming in during the main season of planting . He said that since the first week of July, DAP fertilizer is also likely to be imported under another consignment of which Aditya Bidla Company is the importer.
