Reports
India Single Super Phosphate (SSP) market is witnessing steadiness due to the increasing demand for efficient, cost-effective phosphorus fertilizers to improve crop productivity. SSP is produced out of the reaction of rock-phosphate and sulfuric acid and provides phosphorus and sulfur - both of which are the two most essential nutrients for crop growth - particularly oilseeds, pulses, and cash crops are pre-dominant on farms in India.
The growing investment from government in fertilizer subsidy policy and growing awareness around improving soil fertility through warm phosphates goes further in promoting the market in India. Meanwhile, the production cost of SSP is relatively less than the other phosphate fertilizers, thus propelling its mass-market adoption with small and medium farmer adoption.
Industry players are actively fostering growth via building capacity, thereby further optimizing the process, while many are strengthening distribution networks to avoid any kind of urban-rural divides. Companies are also adopting measures such as digital farmer outreach programs, partnerships with agri-cooperatives, and cultivating awareness around balanced nutrients to increase SSP uptake.
Single Super Phosphate (SSP) is one of the oldest and widely-used phosphorus based fertilizer in India. It is manufactured by treating rock phosphate with sulfuric acid. The end product is a phosphate fertilizer that contains both - phosphorus and sulfur, and an excellent source for several crops like oilseed crops, pulse crops, cereal crops, and sugarcane crops as it develops rooting, improves the health quality of the crop planter, and enhances yield.
Besides, it also delivers some sulfur, which is an important nutrient for protein synthesis and chlorophyll formation. SSP is the most economical way of delivering phosphorus, and it is widely used by small and medium sized farmers. It is delivered in granular form, which means it can be applied easily and allows balanced nutrient deliver to the soil. SSP aids in developing good soil health over time.

Drivers |
|
Government initiatives aimed at reducing the cost and improving the availability of fertilizers for farmers have been giving impetus to India SSP market. This includes price support under the Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) scheme, where SSP can be purchased by small and marginal farmers at a price close to DAP and the other phosphatic fertilizers due to this price support mechanism. This price support mechanism driven by subsidy has therefore enhanced the adoption of SSP by rural farmers selected fertilizers primarily on price.
Government initiatives around “Atmanirbhar Bharat” have also been developed to promote domestic production of fertilizing products with expanded capacity including SSP. These initiatives have encouraged manufacturers to invest in new production plants and modernizing facilities, investing in technologies that improve supply chain measures which ensures continuous availability, improved quality and collection and distribution of SSP, as the sustainable, affordable, high-quality, and reliable solution to the Indian agricultural ecosystem.
India is one of the largest producers of pulses and oilseeds - crops that require significant phosphorus and sulfur inputs for optimal growth. SSP, with approximately 16% phosphorus and 12% sulfur, caters to nutrient requirements. In oilseed crops such as groundnut, mustard, and soybean, sulfur has an important role to play in the synthesis of oil, thereby leading to better substance quality, while phosphorus promotes root growing & flowering for achieving good yields.
Pulses such as chickpeas, lentils, and pigeon peas, use nutrients supplied by SSP effectively. Phosphorus helps in the fixation of nitrogen, which is essential for protein synthesis; while sulfur promotes protein content and general health of the plant. In some areas such as Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Maharashtra, soils containing sulfur are widespread, providing immense worth and significance to sick soils that will sustain crop yield and maintain soil fertility.
With continued pressure for crop producers to increase domestic production of edible oils and pulses, the Indian government has set targets and is helping programmers and initiatives to subsidize better production. Farmers are finding value in SSP due to a relatively good price to use for both the nutrients supplied in just one input. SSP can enhance both - phosphorus and sulfur deficiencies within the growing season. SSP is a saving grace to agricultural producers, especially in major oilseed and pulse production areas, as the continued agricultural goals align with India's future food security.
