# Govt relaxes norms for fertiliser exports

> India's government relaxed export norms for fertilisers, moving items including urea, potassic and phosphatic fertilisers from the restricted to the free category, subject to prior permission from the Department of Fertiliser. India remains a net importer of these products, importing large volumes of DAP, MOP and urea in the current fiscal year.

## Why it matters

Looser Indian export rules add a modest source of supply to already well-supplied phosphate and potash markets, which may cap upside in fertilizer prices that feed into feed-grain production costs.
