ICL has entered into a long-term agreement with India Potash Limited (IPL) to supply organic Polysulphate fertilizer over a five-year period through 2026. Under the agreement, ICL will supply a total of one million metric tons of Polysulphate, with annual shipment volumes increasing throughout the contract. Each shipment will consist of at least 25,000 metric tons and will be delivered evenly across the year.
Supporting Sustainable Agriculture
The agreement aims to strengthen the availability of organic fertilizers in India and support the country’s growing focus on sustainable farming. Polysulphate is a naturally occurring multi-nutrient fertilizer that contains sulfur, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, enabling crops to receive a balanced nutrient supply throughout their growth cycle.
Natural and Environment-Friendly Solution
Unlike many blended or compound fertilizers, Polysulphate undergoes minimal processing after mining. Manufacturers simply mine, crush, screen, and bag the mineral without using chemical separation or other industrial processes. As a result, the fertilizer has one of the lowest carbon footprints among commercially available fertilizers.
As per the ICL press release, the agreement also aligns with the Government of India’s efforts to promote organic agriculture by ensuring a reliable supply of natural fertilizers to farmers. The release further states that the contract includes an option to renew the partnership beyond 2026.
Benefits for Indian Farmers
The long-term partnership is expected to improve farmers’ access to high-quality crop nutrition products while supporting higher productivity and soil health. Additionally, the agreement strengthens the relationship between ICL and India Potash Limited, ensuring a stable supply chain for organic fertilizers across the country.
Looking Ahead
Through this collaboration, ICL and India Potash Limited aim to expand the use of sustainable fertilizers in India. Consequently, the partnership is expected to contribute to the country’s agricultural productivity while advancing environmentally responsible farming practices.
