India Seeks Fertiliser Alternatives Amid China Export Curb

India Seeks Fertiliser Alternatives Amid China Export Curb

India is having trouble getting certain special fertilisers from China.

So, Indian companies are now buying these fertilisers from other countries like Belgium, Egypt, and the United States.

The government says these special fertilisers are not subsidised, and companies can import them based on market needs.

Indian scientists are also working on making their own fertilisers, like nano-fertilisers and bio-fertilisers, to reduce dependence on imports.

This is important for farmers to keep growing crops sustainably.

China used to send a lot of these fertilisers to India, but now India is looking for other suppliers.
