Environment-Friendly Strategies and R&D Boost Organic Fertilizers Sales

Regulatory authorities are increasingly emphasizing environment-friendly practices in the agriculture domain. For instance, Japan's Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Ministry has set a goal to reduce the usage of pesticides and other chemicals by half by the end of 2050, promoting eco-friendly approaches in the agriculture industry. Additionally, research and development in the organic fertilizer domain are expected to create opportunities for manufacturers. Collaborations between organizations, such as the agreement signed between JK Lake & Waterways Authority, CEF Group, and the National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India, to produce organic fertilizers from weeds in Dal Lake, are likely to drive sales of organic fertilizers.

Europe's Push Towards Sustainable Farming Boosts Organic Fertilizers Market

The European Union (EU) has revamped rules on the use of fertilizers to encourage sustainable agriculture. Farmers are increasingly opting for organic fertilizers as they have a positive impact on the soil and environment compared to traditional fertilizers made from chemicals. With the growing awareness and demand for food due to the rising population, EU farmers are embracing organic fertilizers to enhance agricultural productivity. The EU has now allowed organic fertilizers to have CE marking, enabling their free movement, marketing, and sale across all EU states, further driving the demand for organic fertilizers in Europe.

Indian Market Sees Potential Boost in Organic Fertilizers

India, being an agricultural powerhouse, is witnessing a shift towards organic farming. The government's initiatives and incentives to promote organic farming are likely to boost the sales of organic fertilizers in several states. The focus on sustainable agriculture and the global trend of going organic are further driving the demand for organic fertilizers in the country. India's efforts to support neighboring countries, like Sri Lanka, with organic fertilizers are expected to bolster the morale of manufacturers in the Indian market.
