Change is inevitable and so is Realization in due course of time. We changed the way we cultivated; long ago we shifted from organic fertilizers to chemical based to ensure higher crop growth. With time, we polluted the soil, water and air with chemical fertilizers. And then we realized when we observed increasing cases of cancer, body deformation and other health issues. We then decided to move back to our traditional way of living ­ organic food, organic clothing, organic medicines and even eco-friendly way of communication. Organic food is one segment that is witnessing huge rise in demand and hence is the demand for organic fertilizers.

The global organic fertilizer market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4 percent during 2021-2026 to reach $13.8 billion market size due to the increasing practice of organic farming. There is a growing emphasis on sustainable farming and government support to the manufacturers too, which is also playing an important role in the growth of the sector. Today a wide variety of organic fertilizers are available in the market which includes poultry manure, cattle manure, domestic sewage, green manure and composted agricultural wastes. The government's National Centre of Organic Farming, and Central Fertilizer Quality Control & Training Institute are playing a pivotal role in encouraging and adoption of organic farming using organic fertilizers.
