India Faces Fertilizer Supply Shortages
India is experiencing a particular shortfall in industrial fertilizer, according to reports. This comes amid a global nitrogen fertilizer shortage that threatens food security. The UN's global partnership on nutrient management is monitoring the exposure of regions like India to this shortfall. Mark Sutton, co-chair of the UN's Global Partnership on Nutrient Management, highlighted India as a region particularly exposed to fertilizer shortfalls. Fertilizer production in India has declined by 24.6% compared to March of last year. Low production levels are leading to low crop yields for farmers. Farmers in India report that while current fertilizer supplies are adequate, existing stocks are insufficient to last long-term. There are concerns that a potential blockade could lead to scarcity and increased costs.
