West Asia conflict affecting Indian agriculture in multiple ways

Fertilizer risk & cost inflation
Disrupted Gulf supplies (urea, DAP, LNG, sulphur) raising prices and subsidy pressure ahead of Kharif

PRESSURE on crop protection products cost and availability
Sharp cost inflation, supply-chain disruption has led to shortages & increased cost of cultivation

Export disruption of Ag produce
Rice, fresh fruits like grapes & pomegranate, vegetables like onion, spices like chilli & cumin experiencing massive export hurdles

PRESSURE on farm profitability
Shortages of farm inputs & increase in cost of cultivation, potentially leading to lower usage - impacting yield/ quality

2026 - Priorities

Product safety and Stewardship - continue educating farmers

Stick to fundamentals - demand generation, business quality

Invest to grow market share in Rice and F&V (grapes, apple, tomato)

Keep our strong position in Corn and Chili
