Centre assures adequate fertiliser availability despite US-Iran war supply disruptions

The Indian government has assured farmers of sufficient fertilizer availability despite potential supply disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict between the US and Iran. Officials highlighted that the country's robust inventory buffer, bolstered by proactive stocking measures and lower consumption rates during the lean season, positions India favorably to withstand any international market volatility. This assurance comes amid rising concerns regarding global fertilizer supplies, which are critical for the agricultural sector. Authorities emphasized their commitment to maintaining stability in the fertilizer market to support the farming community, especially as the country prepares for the upcoming agricultural season. The government continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure that any adverse effects on supply chains are mitigated effectively, reinforcing India's focus on food security and agricultural productivity.
