Asia-Pacific Organic Fertilizer Market Trends



Manure is the largest Form




  • Organic fertilizers are the most consumed fertilizers in Asia-Pacific under agricultural biologicals. Organic fertilizers accounted for about 45.8% of the Asia-Pacific agriculture biologicals market value in 2022, mainly due to their application in bulk quantities in organic and conventional farming.

  • Manure application was dominant in the region, valued at USD 1.67 billion in 2022, mainly due to its suitability to all types of crops, including field crops, cash crops, and fruits and vegetables, both in conventional and organic farming. Manures are also used to improve the physio-chemical properties of the soil before taking up the seed sowing and even at different growth stages of the crop based on the requirement.

  • The consumption of meal-based organic fertilizers was valued at USD 927.4 million in 2022. These fertilizers have high nutrient content compared to manures. Meal-based fertilizers like blood and horn meal have higher phosphorus content compared to other meal-based fertilizers, and they are best suited for cash crops.

  • The consumption value of oil cake organic fertilizers was valued at USD 860.5 million in 2022. These fertilizers are best suited in horticultural crops due to their slow release of nutrients.

  • Major agricultural countries in the region, like India and China, have initiated various programs or schemes promoting organic farming and the application of sustainable agricultural inputs. The growing organic crop cultivation areas and the rising demand for organic commodities may drive the Asia-Pacific organic fertilizer market during the forecast period.



China is the largest Country




  • The Asia-Pacific region is rapidly becoming a hotspot in the global organic farming and organic fertilizer market. Major organic crops, like rice, sugarcane, and fresh fruits and vegetables, are grown across the region. China and India are emerging as leaders in organic production. While these two countries have a higher area under organic farming, it still accounts for less than 2.0% of the total agricultural area in these countries.

  • The region has seen a significant increase in organic farming area over the last few years, growing from 4.9 million hectares in 2017 to 6.9 million hectares in 2021. This rising trend is driving the demand for organic fertilizers, which is estimated to increase by 73.1% by the end of the forecast period.

  • Row crops dominate most countries in the Asia-Pacific region, accounting for about 67.7% of the total organic crop area. This dominance resulted in row crops having the highest consumption of organic fertilizers, accounting for a 79.7% share of the Asia-Pacific region’s consumption by value in 2022.

  • Various government bodies are encouraging organic or sustainable farming methods through various schemes or programs, including offering incentives for organic fertilizers. This trend is expected to drive the demand for organic fertilizers in the region.

  • The Asia-Pacific region is witnessing substantial growth in the organic farming and organic fertilizer market. The region’s increasing organic farming area, combined with various government incentives, is expected to drive the demand for organic fertilizers in the region over the forecast period.
