The problem, broken down

Who it hurts
Farmers across Rajasthan's districts who need diammonium phosphate (DAP) and urea in the short window before and during rabi sowing.
The moment
Going from shop to shop for DAP, being told it is out of stock, or being made to buy another product with it, while the sowing window closes.
What people do today
Farmers rely on dealers and local word of mouth; the state monitors stocks and deploys inspectors, but that picture isn't visible to the farmer standing at the counter.
Why it's unsolved
The Centre allocates fertiliser month-wise and company-wise and the state plans district by district, but stock at the level of each retailer isn't shown to buyers, which leaves room for hoarding and forced tagging.
What solved looks like
A farmer-facing lookup, by SMS or app in Hindi, showing which retailers in a block have DAP and urea today, the official price, and a one-tap way to report hoarding, overcharging or forced tagging to the district inspector.
