Union Budget 2026-27 reflects the government’s intent to sustain high economic growth through continuity, investment-led expansion, and rural support.

The Indian fertiliser industry has responsibly been ensuring availability of fertilisers across the country to the farmers. Fertiliser management in all aspects from production, distribution, marketing and application have to be aligned to the same objective of sustainability in each element of value chain.

Fertiliser management at every step of supply chain will play significant role in sustainable growth in farm productivity and help in achieving climate goals.

The future of agriculture lies in the convergence of smart agri-food systems, environmental stewardship, and sustainable agronomy.

There is a need for inclusive research to know the effects of continuous cropping system on soil properties, and suggestive cropping systems for agro-climatic zones across the country having better system productivity on sustainable basis, keeping the food security intact.

The international market is quite volatile and ups/downs are witnessed depending on demand-supply position, geo-political disruptions, restrictions, etc. However, fertiliser companies have been putting their sincere and intense efforts in ensuring finished products and raw materials.
