Soluble Fertilizer Industry Association (SFIA)

The Soluble Fertilizer Industry Association (SFIA), legally recognized in India since 2002 and formally established by industry veterans in 2017 before being registered as a trust in 2019, is a national association representing MSME and large manufacturers of SOMS fertilizers (Soluble Fertilizer, Organic Fertilizer, Micronutrient & Bio Stimulants). Guided by a seven-member board, SFIA is dedicated to developing a sustainable agri-input ecosystem in India by driving progress through association, collaboration, and regulatory reforms, while promoting specialty fertilizers as a key pillar of sustainable farming. The association advocates for policy initiatives such as NABL accreditation of testing laboratories, a single-window licensing system through a national portal, and the repeal of fertilizer movement control restrictions under the Essential Commodities Act for non-subsidized fertilizers. SFIA organizes conferences, seminars, and exhibitions to bring the industry together, including its flagship SOMS expo, which draws more than 125 exhibitors showcasing innovative agricultural input solutions, and the association recently launched India's first Agri-Journalism Awards at SOMS 2026. SFIA also engages with national and international industry consortiums and trade associations, contributing to broader policy advocacy and research efforts within India's agricultural input sector.
