Bangladesh's ministry of agriculture has issued a private-sector tender to buy diammonium phosphate (DAP), triple superphosphate (TSP), and standard Muriate of Potash (MOP) for the July 2026-June 2027 financial year. The tender, which closes on August 18, seeks 500,000t of DAP, 200,000t of TSP, and 250,000t of standard MOP.
Private importers can offer a maximum of 40,000t of DAP, 30,000t of TSP, and 30,000t of MOP each. Offers are to be made on a cost and freight (cfr) basis, including delivery to warehouses. Successful bidders must establish a letter of credit and provide a performance bond to the ministry within seven days of receiving the award. The cargo must then be shipped within 45 days of the award. Importers are required to store the fertilizer in designated warehouses in Chittagong, Narawangang, Nogorbari, and Nowapara.
The quantities sought in this tender are identical to those in the ministry's tender issued on July 24 of the previous year. Bangladesh typically issues its private-sector fertilizer tenders before the start of the financial year, but financial challenges have led to delays in recent years.
