Bio Fertilizers & Soil Inputs

1Introduction

India has a large, cost-competitive industry producing bio fertilizers, mycorrhiza-based inoculants, organic manures and other soil inputs.

Europe is moving away from chemical fertilizers because of EU organic-farming targets, carbon costs and Common Agricultural Policy eco-schemes. Spain's intensive greenhouse agriculture in Almería, Murcia and Valencia is one of the fastest-growing markets for these products.
