Introduction: Chemical fertilizers have played a significant role in Indian agriculture facilitating green revolution and making the

country self reliant in food production. However, continuous, concentrated and indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers affects the soil health, leading to acidification, micro nutrient depletion, soil degradation, reduction in the activity of micro flora and micro fauna, poor crop health and lower crop yield and quality, it may also contribute to environmental risks like increase in global warming, ground and surface water pollution etc. Hence to overcome all these problems organic fertilizer is the best solution which do not have any disadvantages. So looking at this opportunity R&D Organic Fertilizer Company will be constructed near Kuhi which is 45km far from Nagpur in Maharashtra state, India.

The company assumes that since organic fertilizers have a lot of benefits over chemical fertilizers and as most of the people are involved in agriculture so there will be a huge market for this product. The company assumes that chemical fertilizers industry and the upcoming organic fertilizers industry would be its competitors.
