Bangladesh's agriculture ministry has issued a long-awaited private-sector tender to buy DAP, TSP and MOP, closing on 5 August.
It is seeking:
- 500,000t of DAP
- 200,000t of TSP
- 250,000t of standard MOP
- 20,000t of MAP
The product must be shipped from loading ports by 20 September and delivered to Chattogram, Narayanganj, Nagarbari and Noapara.
Financing problems delayed the tender. Last year, the ministry issued the private-sector tender on 11 June, to close on 4 July. After failing to secure the full quantity at the initial tender, it continued to buy through private-sector tenders over the rest of the year.
