About the One Nation One Fertilizer scheme-

• All subsidized soil nutrients – urea, di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), Muriate of Potash
(MoP), and NPK – will be marketed under the single brand Bharat across the nation.
• With the launch of this scheme, India will have a common bag design across the country
like Bharat urea, Bharat DAP, Bharat MOP, Bharat NPK, and so on.
• The rationale is that since fertilizers of a particular category must meet the nutrient-
content specifications of the Fertilizer Control Order (FCO), there is no product
differentiation among different brands for each type of fertilizer.
• The objective of both the initiatives, the PMKSK and ‘One Nation, One Fertilizer’, is to
maximize farm production by ensuring easy availability of fertilizers and other Agri
services to farmers at affordable prices and to promote the balanced nutrient
application.
