BackIFFCO signs agreement for export of nano liquid urea to US
A 500 ml bottle of IFFCO nano urea liquid will replace at least one bag of conventional Urea. The bottle can significantly bring down the cost of logistics and warehousing. IFFCO have already sold more than 5.7 Crore bottles of the nano urea liquid in India since its commercial rollout
PremiumNew Delhi: Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO) on Thursday said it has signed an agreement with California-based Kapoor Enterprises Inc for export of nano liquid urea to the US.
The agreement comes at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a state visit to the US.

Another report by International Rice Research Institute said that “As per the preliminary report submitted by Regional Rainfed Lowland Rice Research Station, Gerua (Assam), IRRI-ISARC trials (Kharif 2021); if India’s 50% of rice cultivation area is brought under Nano Urea, it will lead to reduction in Green House Gas (GHG) emission by ~ 4.6 million tonnes of CO2- equivalent."
A 500 ml bottle of IFFCO nano urea liquid will replace at least one bag of conventional Urea. The bottle can significantly bring down the cost of logistics and warehousing.
