India and Canada have committed to enhance collaboration in the fertilizer sector and strengthen the strategic partnership between the two nations for long-term food and agriculture security. The two sides stand to gain from this initiative which will promote deeper economic cooperation and support mutually beneficial investments in fertilizer sector.

Fertilisers and Chemicals Minister JP Nadda said India, which imports nearly 25 per cent of its Muriate of Potash (MOP) fertiliser requirements from Canada, is seeking to secure long-term supply contracts and expand technical collaboration in mining and exploration. He said strengthening potash availability remains central to restoring soil fertility and promoting balanced nutrient application under India's Integrated Nutrient Management framework.

Canadian Natural Resources Minister Tim Hodgson has affirmed Canada's commitment to supporting India's agricultural productivity, describing potash as a mineral critical for agriculture. He outlined Canada's new investment environment and said any investment by Indian partners in the natural resources sector would be matched by the Canadian government.
