The organic fertilizer startup ecosystem in India has evolved significantly in the past few years due to increased focus on organic farming and increased demand for organic food products. This evolution is characterized by innovation, expansion of the markets, and a focus on environmental conservation. One of the leading factors that has triggered this change is the growing consciousness among the consumers regarding the impact of chemical fertilizers on their health and the environment. Thus, there is a trend among farmers and agricultural companies to find organic solutions, which creates good conditions for startups with organic fertilizers. These startups are using modern technology and scientific research to find a balance in the usage of the fertilizer that will improve the health of the soil without the negative impacts on the environment.
This ecosystem has significant innovation as one of its characteristics. Most of the startups are trying to adopt various complex techniques like bio-engineering, microbial fertilizers, and waste to compost solutions. These approaches do not only enhance crop productivity but also enhance the health of the soil in the long run hence it is considered as the best practice by progressive farmers. Another event worth mentioning is the increase in investment in the sector of organic fertilizer.
