In shops, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics found that the DAP khad price averaged Rs. 17,153 per 50kg bag in the week ended 29 October 2026, from Rs. 16,100 in Multan to Rs. 17,744 in Quetta. That is about 18% higher than a year ago (Rs. 14,586). The government has also told the National Assembly that the country faces a fertilizer shortfall of more than 200,000 tonnes, so DAP rates may stay high during wheat sowing.

DAP, or Di-Ammonium Phosphate, is one of the most commonly used fertilizers in Pakistan during the crop planting season. It provides a strong nutrient mixture with a chemical formula of NPK 18:46:0 as a component. This indicates it has 18% Nitrogen and 46% Phosphorus, while having no Potassium. It is essential for root growth, blooming, and fruit production in vegetables, wheat, grasses, and also in residential gardens.

How Much DAP Per Acre for Wheat? (Cost)

For wheat, farmers in Punjab and Sindh usually apply about 1 bag of DAP per acre at sowing, and up to 1.5 bags on weak soils. A soil test is the best guide. At current prices, DAP alone costs about Rs. 16,000 – Rs. 24,000 per acre. Together with 1.5–2 bags of urea (about Rs. 6,800 – Rs. 9,500), fertilizer for one acre of wheat now costs roughly Rs. 23,000 – Rs. 33,000. See today’s wheat price in Pakistan to compare costs with expected income.

DAP vs NP vs SSP: Which Is Cheaper?

DAP gives the most phosphorus per bag, but SSP is cheaper per kg of phosphorus. Here is a simple comparison using current average prices:

Fertilizer	Nutrients (N-P-K)	Price (50kg)	Cost per kg of phosphorus
DAP	18-46-0	Rs. 16,055	about Rs. 698
NP (Nitrophos)	22-20-0	Rs. 10,101	about Rs. 1,010
SSP (granular)	0-18-0	Rs. 4,348	about Rs. 483

SSP is cheapest for phosphorus but has no nitrogen and you need about 2.5 bags of SSP to equal 1 bag of DAP, so transport and labour costs are higher. Many farmers now mix DAP with SSP to save money.
