Organic fertilisers contain critical nutrients for plant growth as well as naturally occurring minerals. These fertilisers help to alleviate difficulties associated with synthetic fertilisers. In contrast to synthetic fertilisers, they require less frequent application to maintain soil fertility. However, inappropriate application of organic fertilisers can result in overfertilization or nutritional deficiencies in soil. As a result, controlled release of organic fertilisers is an effective strategy to sustain agricultural productivity. There are several types of organic fertilisers or chemical-free fertilisers that can be used to grow a variety of seasonal and tropical fruits and vegetables. It delivers far greater cost effectiveness, and most importantly, long-term and critical health to the Soil.
Australia Organic Fertilizers Market Driving Factors and Challenges
Driving Factors- The growing health consciousness of consumers has resulted in an increase in demand for organic food products, which is one of the main drivers of the Australia Organic Fertilisers Market. The market has also been greatly boosted by government initiatives that support organic farming and the use of natural fertilisers. The market is expanding as a result of trends such the rising use of biofertilizers, the creation of cutting-edge organic fertiliser products, and the increased attention being paid to soil health. Technology developments in the manufacture of organic fertiliser along with a move towards sustainable agricultural methods are anticipated to maintain the market's upward trajectory.
Challenges- Compost, manure, and plant leftovers are examples of natural raw materials that are vital to the creation of organic fertilisers. The availability of these raw materials in Australia varies and may not be enough to meet the country's expanding need for organic fertilisers. The supply issues can also be made worse by seasonal fluctuations, geographic limitations, and competition for organic waste from other businesses, such the generation of bioenergy. Market expansion may be hampered by this restricted supply, which can also make organic fertilisers more difficult to scale and produce consistently.
