DAP Price Today in Pakistan: Rs 17,153 a Bag, All 13 Cities Plus SOP, NP and NPK (2026 List)

A 50 kg bag of DAP cost Rs 17,153.26 on average in Pakistan in the week to 29 October 2026, the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS) says, and it is Rs 2,567 dearer than a year ago. This page lists the DAP price in all 13 cities PBS checks, the start of every month in 2026, and the other phosphate and potash fertilisers: SOP, NP, NPK and SSP.

DAP is the costliest bag most wheat farmers buy at sowing. We read the PBS weekly price workbooks on 1 November 2026 and took every number below from them.

DAP averaged Rs 17,153.26 a bag in the last week of October

The PBS national average for a 50 kg bag of DAP (di-ammonium phosphate) was Rs 17,153.26 in the week ended 29 October 2026. It moved only Rs 5.20 in a week, but it is 17.60 per cent higher than the Rs 14,586.25 of 30 October 2025.

DAP has been above Rs 17,000 a bag since the start of October. That is the highest level in our 2026 list.

DAP costs the most in Quetta and the least in Multan

In the week to 29 October 2026, DAP cost Rs 17,743.54 a bag in Quetta and Rs 16,099.69 in Multan, a gap of Rs 1,643.85. Eleven of the 13 cities sat between Rs 17,000 and Rs 17,500.

PBS does not check fertiliser in Islamabad, Sialkot, Karachi or Khuzdar. If you farm near those cities, use the nearest one in the list as a guide.

SOP, NP, NPK and SSP prices in the same week

Sulphate of potash (SOP) was the dearest bag after DAP, at Rs 15,336.77 on average. NPK cost Rs 11,083.19, nitrophos (NP) Rs 10,666.94 and single super phosphate (SSP) Rs 4,673. SSP rose the most in a year.

SSP is 39.66 per cent dearer than a year ago, on PBS figures. SOP and NPK both slipped a little in the last week of October, by Rs 38.52 and Rs 34.11 a bag.

City coverage is thinner for these bags. PBS found SOP in only eight cities and NPK in nine. In Larkana, SOP cost Rs 17,531.74, the highest SOP price in the table.

DAP has risen Rs 2,643.70 a bag since January 2026

DAP began 2026 at Rs 14,509.56 a bag, dipped to Rs 14,055.91 in early March, then climbed most months to reach Rs 17,153.26 by 29 October. From the March low, that is a rise of Rs 3,097.35, or 22 per cent.

The biggest single jump came between May and June, at Rs 1,117.39 a bag. These are first-week figures for each month; the changes are our arithmetic.

Buy DAP carefully, because fakes cost the most here

A bag worth more than Rs 17,000 is the one most worth faking or under-filling. Before paying, compare prices, check the bag, and keep proof of purchase. These five steps take ten minutes and protect a large sum.

1. Check this week's PBS average for your city in the table above.
2. Get prices from at least two dealers, with the brand named.
3. Look for an unbroken seal, clear printing and a 50 kg weight.
4. Take a written receipt with the dealer's name, brand, price and date.
5. If the crop does not respond or the bag looks wrong, have it tested and report it.

Punjab's fertiliser inspectors and labs are explained under report fake fertiliser or pesticide in Punjab. A soil test can also show whether you need a full bag of DAP at all; the department runs labs in most districts, listed in get your soil tested in Punjab.

The federal agriculture committee warned of a DAP shortfall for this rabi season in its Rabi 2026-27 plan. Urea prices from the same PBS table are on the October fertiliser price report.

Common questions

What is the DAP price today in Pakistan?

The latest PBS average is Rs 17,153.26 for a 50 kg bag, for the week ended 29 October 2026. PBS updates it every Friday in its weekly price report.

Which city has the cheapest DAP?

Multan, at Rs 16,099.69 a bag, was the cheapest of the 13 cities PBS checked in the week to 29 October 2026. Quetta was the dearest at Rs 17,743.54.

How much has DAP gone up in a year?

DAP rose from Rs 14,586.25 on 30 October 2025 to Rs 17,153.26 on 29 October 2026, PBS data shows. That is Rs 2,567.01 more, or 17.60 per cent.

Is the PBS figure a legal maximum price?

No. PBS averages what shops charge in each city. It is not a price cap, so a dealer may charge a little more or less. A large gap is worth questioning.

What is the SOP price today?

Sulphate of potash averaged Rs 15,336.77 a 50 kg bag in the week to 29 October 2026. Prices ranged from Rs 13,566.34 in Bahawalpur to Rs 17,531.74 in Larkana.

How we verified this

What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.

We read the PBS weekly price workbooks on 1 November 2026: the SPI annex for the week ended 29 October 2026, Appendix B, part A (retail fertiliser prices per 50 kg bag in 13 cities), plus the annexes for the first PBS week of every month from January to October 2026. The SPI executive summary for the same week sets out the wider price trend. PBS does not split DAP by brand, and we did not check any dealer's shop price ourselves.
