India is one of the largest consumers and producers of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) in the world. DAP is a widely used nitrogen-phosphorus compound fertilizer with an NPK chemical formula of 18-46-0. It provides both nitrogen and phosphorus in an assimilable form for plants and is therefore an essential component for improving crop productivity. Rising food demand from a growing population and efforts by the government to boost agriculture production have been the key drivers for the growth of the diammonium phosphate (DAP) market in India. The government has also undertaken various initiatives such as soil health cards and neem coating of urea to encourage balanced and efficient fertilizer consumption among farmers.
Market Dynamics:
The diammonium phosphate (DAP) market in India has been witnessing positive growth driven by factors such as strong demand from rice, wheat and corn cultivating farmers, various government subsidies and initiatives to promote fertilizer usage, strong production capabilities of local manufacturers and restrictions on imports. However, volatility in raw material prices such as phosphoric acid and ammonia as well as higher input costs act as restraints for market participants. On the other hand, opportunities lie in promoting organic and nano fertilizers, value-added services around fertilizer advice, and developing a balanced fertilization practice to minimize over usage of DAP. Sustainable agricultural practices can also help optimize fertilizer consumption in the long run.
