IFFCO to Open First Overseas Nano-Fertilizer Plant in Brazil
IFFCO, an Indian fertilizer company, is building a plant in Brazil to make nano-fertilizers.
Nano-fertilizers help crops grow better while using less fertilizer.
The plant will be a joint project between IFFCO and a Brazilian company, producing millions of liters of fertilizer each year.
Brazil's farmers are hoping to increase crop yields and reduce fertilizer costs by using these new fertilizers.
Nano-fertilizers have been tested in Brazil, with the production scheduled to begin by the end of 2025.
IFFCO is establishing its first overseas plant for nano-fertilizer production in Brazil.
The joint venture between IFFCO Nanoventions and NANOFERT will produce 4.5 million liters of nano-fertilizers annually.
Field trials of nano fertilizers preceded the project with an aim to increase crop productivity.
Brazil's farmers aim to both reduce fertilizer use and enhance productivity.
The trial production in the Brazil plant is scheduled to start by the end of 2025.
