IFFCO Opens Nano Agri Innovation Hub Near Coimbatore

IFFCO Chairman Dileep Sanghani recently inaugurated IFFCO Nanoventions' new Innovation Hub near Coimbatore. This advanced facility is set to spearhead advancements in climate-resilient agriculture, soil health, and sustainable nano-based farming practices. The hub's establishment underscores a commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology for agricultural enhancement.

The Coimbatore center, equipped with modern laboratories and pilot manufacturing units, focuses on developing and promoting nano fertilizers like nano Urea and nano DAP. These products are designed for easier nutrient absorption by crops, requiring less application while improving harvests and maintaining soil and water health. The launch of a new bio-stimulant, DharAmrut, further supports plant growth and stress tolerance.

Sanghani emphasized the cooperative-led research's role in tackling climate change and rising input costs. He urged for accelerated research to promote IFFCO's nano fertilizers as sustainable alternatives, aligning with the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' initiative and fostering agricultural self-reliance. The hub aims to make advanced agricultural nanotechnology accessible to farmers nationwide.
