Indian Fertiliser Supply Chain Experts - Fertiliser Vulnerability

Every issue we bring to our readers reminds me why this is the most exciting time to be covering #Indianagriculture. The sector isn't just growing—it's getting smarter, more resilient, and more globally consequential by the season. A gas molecule, a maritime chokepoint, a fertiliser bag, a plate of food — one unbroken chain of consequence. Our #July2026 issue of AgroSpectrum India pulls hard on it. The cover — #AddressingIndia's #FertiliserVulnerability — digs into something I've watched build for years but rarely with this much urgency. When the #StraitofHormuz seized up, it wasn't a shipping story. It was a food story. Urea is natural gas in granular form. We spoke to voices across the #valuechain — Aries Agro Ltd., Crisil, FARMGATE, Arya.ag Atomgrid, and the #FAO's chief economist — to map where India is exposed and how it builds its way out. A few other things I'm proud of in this edition: #HowCRISPR Outshined GM Initiatives — India just became the first country to commercialise genome-edited rice. But the same politics that buried Bt brinjal is quietly re-forming at the next gate. A must-read for anyone in seed, policy or agri-tech. #TacklingUpstreamChallenges of Indian Fishery — a state-by-state look at where the Rs 8,000+ crore is actually going, and why climate change is already thinning the catch. Sharp conversations with Harsh Vardhan Bhagchandka (IPL Biologicals Limited) on biologicals easing the subsidy burden, Dr Meenesh Shah NCDFI & NDDB Dairy Services) on the #AssamRifles dairy model, @Sawan Kumar Sea6Energy on "combination biology," and Anand Mahurkar Findability Sciences) on why dairy plants "don't need more dashboards." HyFun Foods's Haresh Karamchandani on cold-chain and integrated sourcing — the unglamorous backbone of India's food-export ambitions. → And in the #InternationalYearofWomenFarmers, a webinar wrap that reminds us women aren't participants in food systems. They're the architects. If there's a single thread running through this issue, it's this: resilience is no longer a soft word. It's the whole strategy.
