Customs Regulations in Imported Fertilisers/Raw Materials

摘要

For sustained agricultural growth and to promote balanced nutrient application, it is imperative that fertilisers are made available to farmers at affordable prices. The fertiliser consumption was 57.49 million tonnes in 2010-11 where as the production was 38.63 million tonnes hence we imported around 21.70 million tonnes. There is acute shortage in the production of common fertilisers like urea, DAP etc. and there is no production of MOP at all, hence we are depending only on imports specially for MOP there is no other alternative. We are also importing raw materials and intermediates which are used in fertiliser production.
