Bangladesh's ministry of agriculture has issued a private-sector tender to buy DAP, TSP and standard MOP during the July 2026-June 2027 financial year, closing on 18 August.
The ministry will buy:
- 500,000t of DAP
- 200,000t of TSP
- 250,000t of standard MOP
Private importers can each offer a maximum of 40,000t of DAP, 30,000t of TSP and 30,000t of MOP.
Offers are to be given on cfr basis and will include the cost of delivery to warehouses.
The private importers are to establish a letter of credit and give the performance bond to the ministry within seven days of receiving the award. They must then ship the cargo within 45 days of the award.
Private importers are to store their fertilizer in warehouses at Chittagong, Narawangang, Nogorbari and Nowapara, the ministry said.
The quantities sought are the same as under the ministry's tender issued on 24 July last year. Bangladesh typically issues its private-sector tender ahead of the start of the financial year, but financial problems have caused delays in recent years.
