Fertilizer Subsidies

Fertilizer subsidies are government programs that help reduce the cost of fertilizers for farmers. By providing financial support or discounts, these subsidies make fertilizers more affordable, encouraging farmers to use them to improve crop yields. This policy aims to boost agricultural productivity, ensure food security, and support farmers' livelihoods. However, subsidies can sometimes lead to overuse, environmental concerns, and budget strains, so they require careful management to balance benefits and potential drawbacks.
