Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme
The Fertilizer Subsidy Scheme is a government program that reduces the cost of fertilizers for farmers, making essential nutrients more affordable. By providing financial support or discounts on fertilizers like urea, diammonium phosphate, and potash, the scheme encourages farmers to use the right amount of nutrients, which boosts crop yields and supports food security. The subsidy aims to stabilize prices, prevent market fluctuations, and ensure that farmers, especially smallholders, can access necessary inputs to improve productivity while managing costs effectively.
