Top 10 Bio-Fertilizer Companies in India

Fertilizer companies play an important role in Indian economic life. It is so because over 58% of India’s population depends on agriculture for earning their livelihood. Every year the government allocates huge sums of money in the budget for compensating fertilizer companies for selling their products at lower prices.

After withdrawing three farm laws last year, the central government increased the subsidy to placate the farmers. The increase in subsidy would enable the fertilizer companies to recover their losses. It would also help the farmers in reducing input costs.
