ANSWER
MINISTER OF STATE FOR CHEMICALS AND FERTILIZERS
(SHRI BHAGWANTH KHUBA)
(a) to (c): Department of Fertilizers, vide notification dated 24th August, 2022, has decided to implement One Nation One Fertilizers by introducing Single Brand for Fertilizers and Logo under Fertilizer subsidy scheme namely “Pradhanmantri Bhartiya Janurvarak Pariyojna” (PMBJP). The objective of the scheme is to increase the availability basket of fertilizers; take care of dilemma among farmers in choosing from plethora of brands available in the markets, reduce the crisscross movement and further ensure timely supply of fertilizers.
(d): Fertilizer Control Order (FCO)-1985 has laid down fertilizer-wise detailed specifications that are applicable for both indigenous as well as imported fertilizers. Any fertilizer, not meeting the said specifications, cannot be sold in the country for agricultural purpose. Clause 19 of FCO strictly prohibits the sale or manufacture of fertilisers which are not of prescribed standards. Thus, fertilizers either produced or imported are to adhere to FCO specifications.
(e): All fertilizers viz Urea, DAP, MOP & NPKS are being dispatched to the States/UTs in „Bharat Brand‟ bags under “Pradhanmantri Bhartiya Janurvarak Pariyojna” (PMBJP).
