Abstract

Fertilizer campaign has played a crucial role in the journey of Indian agriculture. Well-directed policies that regulated the fertilizer sector, have contributed to improve the availability as well as consumption of fertilizers at the farm level. The scenario under which fertilizer policies need to operate changes rapidly, and this leads to new challenges. The odyssey of Indian fertilizer policy regime, stretching to more than 60 years, is complex but interesting. Here we trace this regime and the fertilizer policies of selected countries from which India can learn.
