 Availability

Urea, SSP, Gypsum and Seeds at right time and reasonable
rates is very important for enhancing agricultural production.
RAJFED is contributing towards this by providing quality
fertilizers and quality seeds to farmers of Rajasthan
through its network of member Cooperative Societies (KVSS)
at Tehsil level and Gram Seva Sahkari Samities (GSS) at
village level. In addition to the normal supply of fertilizer
RAJFED is engaged in advance stocking of Fertilizers since
2007-08 to prevent the shortage of fertilizers in the
peak sowing seasons. |
