FERTILIZER STORE
The Central Fertilizer Store, Phuentsholing was initially established as the main fertilizer store under Department of Agriculture, Ministry of Agriculture in 1967. Over the last many years, the fertilizer store functioned and operated under various institutional set-ups. In 1995, when NASEEPP was corporatized as Druk Seed Corporation, the Central Fertilizer Store was separated from the Department of Agriculture and was given under the management of Druk
Seed Corporation in 1996 as the revenue generating support for Druk Seed to sustain financially. Since then, the Central Fertilizer Store was functional and managed under Druk Seed from 1996 till 2010. And in 2010, Druk Seed was reverted back to National Seed Centre under Department of Agriculture and so is the fertilizer store. Despite many institutional changes, the main responsibilities and functions of fertilizer store has been fulfilled to the best
of ability.
