Experts Call for Fertiliser Pricing and Agricultural Subsidy Reforms in India

Experts and policymakers emphasize the need for reforms in India's agricultural sector, focusing on rationalizing fertiliser pricing and subsidy structures to restore soil health and support farmers effectively. A recent policy paper advocates for precise, customised fertilisation solutions combined with improved agronomic practices. Concurrently, economic analyses highlight the importance of crop-neutral incentives and targeted subsidies to address declining agri-GDP growth and ensure sustainable agricultural development amid fluctuating food prices.
