Biofertilizers are composed of wastes containing living microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and cyanobacteria. These are prepared using composting, vermin composting, and active microorganism application methods. Biofertilizers boost the nutrient composition of the soil by solubilizing mineral ions and nitrogen fixation processes. They also enrich the soil with organic nutrients, which aids in decomposing organic matter, breaking down complex minerals, improving soil fertility, and promoting plant growth. As compared to chemical fertilizers, biofertilizers offer direct nutrition to plants, improve overall soil fertility, reduce pollution, prevent crop diseases, increases the quality and quantity of crop yield, and support sustainable agriculture.
GCC Biofertilizer Market Trends:
There is an increasing shift toward biofertilizers due to their eco-friendly nature, low production costs, and the easy availability of raw materials in the region. In line with this, the escalating demand for organic products due to inflating disposable incomes, rising health consciousness, and improving farming practices, are further intensifying product adoption. Additionally, the GCC government is undertaking several initiatives to promote the adoption of biofertilizers, such as farm-level extension, financial assistance to investors in setting up units, and subsidies on sales, which is acting as a growth-inducing factor. Other than this, continuous investments in research and development (R&D) activities to study the microbial persistence of biofertilizers in soil under different conditions are further fueling the market growth. Moreover, rapid technological advancements, including bacterial biofilms carriers, nanotechnology-based microbial inoculants, and artificial selection of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), are contributing to the market growth.
