Key Points

IFFCO has begun commercial production of nano DAP liquid at its new plants in Aonla and Phulpur, Uttar Pradesh. Each plant can produce 2 lakh bottles daily, significantly increasing national availability. The nano fertiliser improves nutrient efficiency and reduces environmental impact compared to conventional urea. This expansion supports India's push for self-reliance in agriculture.

IFFCO begins commercial production of nano DAP liquid plant in UP's Aonla and Phulpur

IFFCO expands nano DAP liquid production with two new UP plants, boosting agricultural efficiency and sustainability for Indian farmers.

"Nano fertilisers will increase land fertility and production. - IFFCO Management"

New Delhi, May 13

Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO) on Tuesday commenced commercial production of Nano DAP Liquid at its two additional nano plants in Aonla, in Bareilly district, and Phulpur, in Prayagraj district, both located in Uttar Pradesh.

According to IFFCO, each plant has a daily production capacity of 2 lakh bottles per day.

The enhanced production will significantly increase the availability of nano DAP liquid across the country, benefiting farmers nationwide.

With these two new plants, IFFCO's total capacity for Nano Fertilisers (both Nano Urea and Nano DAP) now stands at 9.5 lakh bottles per day across its five plants.

The increased production and availability of Nano DAP Liquid are expected to positively impact agricultural productivity and sustainability, supporting India's farming community.

Nano DAP Liquid is a liquid fertiliser containing nitrogen and phosphorus in a nano-sized particle form. It's a significant approach to agriculture, offering benefits like increased nutrient absorption and efficiency, potentially boosting crop yields.

The nano urea is a revolution in the agriculture sector, as it has the potential to reduce storage space and money while improving crop yield. A 500 millilitre bottle of IFFCO Nano Urea Liquid can replace at least one bag of conventional Urea.

The Nano Urea Liquid is indigenously developed after many years of dedicated and sincere research by IFFCO's Scientists and Engineers.

Complaints have been made about the excessive use of urea to increase crop yields, which has been destroying the fertility of agricultural land for a long time. To address this concern, IFFCO has not only prepared nano fertiliser liquid but also patented it.

IFFCO management claims that nano fertiliser will increase the fertility of the land and production.

It is worth noting that nano urea is not only environmentally friendly but also more profitable than urea. The crop gets 30 per cent profit from urea, while the crop gets 80 per cent profit from nano urea (nano manure). Apart from this, the cost of nano urea is also less than that of urea. Drones can also be used to spray nano fertilisers.

In February, US Awasthi, Managing Director and CEO of Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO), said that IFFCO nano urea, nano DAP, and Sagarika are producing great results on American farms.

In a post on X, he said that California farmers who have used IFFCO nano fertilisers have seen commendable results in increased yield and quality of Pistachios.

IFFCO has consistently innovated to improve fertilisers and has been ranked the number one cooperative among 300 cooperatives in the world.

The IFFCO also climbed to 72nd place in the overall turnover ranking from 97th place in the financial year 2023-24.

The cooperative society and its 35,500 member cooperative societies, 25,000 PACS, and 52,400 PMKSK centres are progressing towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and Atmanirbhar Krishi.

This is fantastic news for our farmers! Nano DAP can be a game-changer for small farmers who struggle with high fertilizer costs. Hope the distribution reaches every corner of India, especially remote villages. Jai Kisan! 🇮🇳

As someone from a farming family in UP, I'm cautiously optimistic. We've seen many "miracle solutions" before. Will wait to see actual results in our fields before celebrating. The drone spraying feature sounds promising though!

Great to see Indian innovation getting global recognition! If California farmers are seeing results, that's a good sign. But government must ensure proper farmer education - new tech only works when used correctly.

Concerned about long-term soil impact. We rushed with chemical fertilizers before understanding consequences. Hope proper research has been done this time. Environment-friendly claim needs verification �

Production numbers look impressive! 2 lakh bottles/day from each plant is no joke. But distribution is key - hope cooperatives ensure fair pricing and prevent black marketing. Our farmers deserve this tech at affordable rates.

Wonderful to see UP becoming an agri-tech hub! These plants will create local jobs too. Hope IFFCO maintains quality as they scale up. Farmer welfare should remain priority over profits.

The 80% profit claim seems too good to be true. My uncle tried nano urea last season - saw some improvement but
