COOPERATION IN FERTILIZER AND AGRI SECTORS – A WIN-WIN SITUATION

Growth in India’s agricultural sector has made it the world’s second largest consumer of the major fertilizers. Africa, on the other hand, is well endowed with natural mineral resources needed to produce fertilizers including reserves of coal, natural gas, phosphate rock and as yet untapped deposits of potash. There is an obvious synergy & huge potential for mutually beneficial partnership between India and Africa in the fertilizer sector. Besides fertilizers, there is tremendous scope for cooperation in the agricultural sector. Africa has availability of large land bank where Indian companies can provide agri inputs like fertilizers, seeds, pesticides etc as well as transfer of technology for increasing agricultural productivity. Surplus production of crops like corn and pulses can be brought to India where there is a demand supply gap. Cooperation in the agricultural sector will thus meet the needs of both sides.

Deliberations with Ministers of Agriculture- BRICS countries India-Africa engagement in the fertilizer and agri sectors represents a win-win situation for both the partners. Both, the governments as well as the private sector, have to engage pro-actively with each other to seize the emerging opportunity
