Key words of the passage: fertilizer; China; Nepal; supply

Chinese companies are supplying more than 15,000 tons of fertilizer to Nepal and Chinese diplomats helped getting the desperately-needed material through border checks to help Nepali farmers, Chinese and Nepali officials told the Global Times on Tuesday.

Nepal's increasing purchasing of fertilizer from Chinese suppliers also come as it reportedly seeks more supplies from India, which is also facing a shortage on its own, highlighting India's limited capacity to fulfill its pledges, analysts noted. 

Amid the surging demand, more fertilizer imports from China could be expected, the Nepali Embassy in China told the Global Times on Tuesday.
