New Delhi, March 19, 2025: Soluble fertilisers have emerged as a critical component in India����ֱ�� agricultural transformation, playing a pivotal role in enhancing nutrient efficiency, improving soil health, and ensuring residue-free crop production. With the sector witnessing steady growth, driven by research-backed innovations and evolving regulatory frameworks, India is strengthening its position as a key player in the global fertiliser landscape.

Against this backdrop, the Soluble Fertilizer Industry Association, India (SFIA India), was invited to present a case at CAC China 2025, the world����ֱ�� largest trade forum for agrochemicals, organised by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT). This 25-year-old annual event serves as a crucial platform where global agro-input companies converge to secure their supply chains and explore emerging trends. The invitation extended by CCPIT to SFIA India underlined India����ֱ�� growing influence in the international fertiliser market.

At the conference, Rajib Chakraborty, National President, SFIA India, presented India����ֱ�� success story in developing sustainable farming through SOMS Fertilizers (SOMS, Soluble Fertilizer, Organic Fertilizer, Micronutrient & Bio Stimulants), a pioneering approach that integrates multiple nutrient sources to achieve high-yield, nutrient-rich, and environmentally sustainable agriculture. A key highlight of SOMS is its potential to drastically reduce reliance on subsidised fertilisers, offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative for both farmers and governments worldwide.

“SOMS is a scientifically structured approach that not only enhances nutrient use efficiency and ensures environmental sustainability, but also significantly reduces dependency on conventional subsidised fertilisers. This shift has major financial implications for governments globally, helping optimise subsidy expenditures while promoting long-term soil health,” said Rajib Chakraborty.

SFIA India����ֱ�� presence at CAC China 2025 reinforced its commitment to policy advocacy, research collaborations, and supply chain stabilisation within the soluble fertiliser sector. Engaged with over 50 universities, ICAR, CSIR, and multiple research institutions, SFIA India continues to drive regulatory advancements, product innovation, and global partnerships. Notably, a recent collaboration with the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, National Research Centre for Grapes, is evaluating SOMS as a viable alternative to traditional fertiliser subsidies, with results expected by mid-2025.

With rising global demand for residue-free and high-efficiency fertiliser solutions, India����ֱ�� contributions, particularly through SOMS, are increasingly recognised as models for sustainable agricultural development. By reducing fertiliser subsidies and ensuring optimal nutrient management, SOMS presents a scalable solution for governments worldwide striving for cost-effective, environmentally responsible agricultural policies. SFIA India remains dedicated to fostering industry collaboration, strengthening India����ֱ�� footprint in the agro-input sector, and shaping the future of sustainable farming.
