IMMA to Host 6th National Crop Nutrition Summit 2026

The Indian agri-input sector will be in focus as the Indian Micro-Fertilizers Manufacturers Association (IMMA) hosts its 6th National Crop Nutrition Summit & B2B Expo on 5–6 February 2026 at the National Stock Exchange, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. The two-day event will bring together policymakers, industry leaders, scientists, startups, and global experts to deliberate on policy reforms, innovation, and India’s role as a global agri-input manufacturing hub.

Theme and Strategic Focus

Held under the theme “Converge, Collaborate & Co-create,” the summit will focus on aligning policy, industry, science, and innovation in crop nutrition. Discussions will centre on micronutrients, specialty fertilisers, biologicals, and precision nutrition, reflecting changing soil health needs and evolving farming practices. IMMA aims to position India as a competitive exporter and manufacturing powerhouse in the global agri-input value chain.

High-Level Participation and Inauguration

The summit will be inaugurated by Shri Jayakumar Jitendrasinh Rawal, Minister of Marketing & Protocol, Government of Maharashtra. The Guest of Honour, Dr P. K. Singh, Agriculture Commissioner, Government of India, will outline the government’s vision for agri-input reforms, including ease of doing business, export competitiveness, and faster approval pathways for specialty inputs. Senior officials from the Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, State Agriculture Departments, and Commissioners from progressive states will participate alongside CEOs and founders of leading agri-input companies.

Two Days, One Integrated Agenda

Day One, titled “Converge & Collaborate,” will feature the inaugural session, a policy dialogue on One Nation, One License, farmer awards, a roundtable on integrating micronutrients and biologicals into fertiliser policy, a Media Speaks session, and a Pitch Party showcasing agri-startup innovations. Day Two, “Co-create,” will focus on outcomes through structured B2B meetings, masterclasses on international business, fundraising, AI, analytics, and manufacturing excellence, concluding with an Industry–Government–Startup Conclave.
