Weak monsoon may boost soluble fertiliser demand but price surge remains key risk: SFAI
India's soluble fertiliser sector faces a dual dynamic: weak monsoon could lift demand for water-soluble products, but a 60-100% price surge over the past year, driven by China's export curbs and West Asia tensions, poses a bigger risk to consumption. SFAI President Rajib Chakraborty warns that high prices may push farmers to cheaper substitutes, while immediate supply is cushioned by stock carryover from last year's poor consumption.
