Abstract
Agriculture gradually depletes the soil of the essential nutrients for the growth of plants resulting in low crop productivity and yields. Soil is to be continuously fortified by the application of fertilizers to maintain food production. Therefore, an unbreakable supply chain is essential for continuous production of food from the fields. The supply chain gets disrupted following global economic downturn, pandemic or war situations. Due to this disruption supplies are affected, farmers are overburdened by rise in fertilizer prices beyond their reach and it could possibly lead to global food insecurity. India is a major foodgrain producing country and nearly 55% of its 1.44 billion population depends on agriculture for survival. This chapter discuss importance of al fertilizers in Indian agriculture and how the consumption is managed through domestic production and imports. The disruption in global supplies due to Covid 19 and the Ukraine war and problems encountered in making adequate supplies and government efforts to streamline the fertilizer supply chain are discussed.
