India Enhances Digital Fertilizer Tracking Linking Purchases to Land Records
The Indian government is enhancing its Integrated Fertilizer Management System (iFMS) to improve tracking of fertilizer from production to retail. The upgraded platform links farmer purchases with land and crop data, enabling closer monitoring of subsidies and supply gaps. Developed with the National Informatics Centre, iFMS covers over 140 million Aadhaar-linked buyers and 250,000 retailers, processing around 70 million transactions annually. New dashboards and analytics aim to identify unusual buying patterns and improve subsidy targeting, with electronic subsidy bill processing planned by January 2026.
