Speaker Agni Prasad Sapkota directed the government to provide fertilizers to the farmers at the earliest.

During the meeting of the House of Representatives, Speaker Sapkota directed the concerned ministry and the Nepal government to provide fertilizers to the farmers as soon as possible.

Earlier, speaking at the zero hour of the Parliament, lawmakers drew the attention of the Speaker saying that the farmers have been facing acute shortage of fertilizers during the paddy plantation season.

Lawmaker Laxmi Pariyar said that it was sad that the farmers have been facing shortage of fertilizers though the government had brought many good farmer-centric programs in its policies and programs.

Similarly, lawmaker Bina Devi Budhathoki accused the government of not taking any initiatives to iron out the problem.

Likewise, other lawmakers drew the attention of the government to find a long-term solution to the problem of fertilizer.
