Speaking at an event organized at National Crop Science Research Center in Khumaltar to commemorate the 19th National Paddy Day, Minister Yadav said that due to the increase in price in the international market and negligence of the contractor, the chemical fertilizers could not be bought into the country on time. He also stated that the manure contracting system was ineffective.
