The growth of the compound fertilizer market is anticipated to be fueled by a rise in the production of crops like rice, wheat, and corn. This production pertains to the cultivation of such crops for both domestic and commercial usage. Compound fertilizers are extensively utilized in the cultivation of crops like wheat, corn, rice, sorghum, and various fruits and vegetables. This is because they provide a balanced distribution of micronutrients throughout the root zone, which enhances soil fertility and protective environmental measures. Consequently, the increase in crop production retains the growing demand for the compound fertilizers market. Illustratively, in 2021-22, the gross value of wheat surged by 33% up to $13 billion, according to data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, a government agency based in Australia, in January 2023. Therefore, the escalating production of crops such as rice, wheat, and corn is bolstering the compound fertilizer market's growth.
