Bengaluru, Jan 01: Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) today launched Dharamrut, a natural botanical seaweed extract enriched with Amino Acids and Alginic Acids, at the Mega Cooperative & Farmers Conference held at Dr. Babu Rajendra Prasad International Auditorium, GKVK, Bengaluru. The product launch marks a significant step in IFFCO’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable, technology-driven, and farmer-centric agricultural practices.
The conference witnessed participation from nearly 2,000 farmers and cooperators from across Karnataka. In addition, the event was live telecast simultaneously across all districts of the state, enabling extensive outreach to the wider farming community. The programme focused on strengthening cooperative values while promoting the adoption of advanced agricultural technologies.
The event was graced by Shri Dileep Sanghani, Chairman, IFFCO, and Shri K. J. Patel, Managing Director, IFFCO, along with senior officials, cooperative leaders, and agricultural experts.
Addressing the gathering, Shri Dileep Sanghani highlighted the pivotal role played by cooperatives in India’s agricultural transformation.
“Cooperatives have been the backbone of India’s agricultural growth for decades. By continuously introducing farmer-centric innovations and strengthening cooperative institutions, we are enabling farmers to improve productivity while safeguarding soil health and sustainability,” he said.
He further added that initiatives like the Mega Cooperative & Farmers Conference provide a valuable platform to directly engage with farmers, understand their evolving needs, and collectively work towards a resilient agricultural ecosystem.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri K. J. Patel, Managing Director, IFFCO, emphasized IFFCO’s focus on innovation-led and sustainable farming solutions.
“The launch of Dharamrut reflects IFFCO’s commitment to combining scientific advancement with natural, bio-based solutions. Products enriched with Amino Acids and Alginic Acids help improve nutrient efficiency, crop vigor, and overall farm performance,” he said.
He also highlighted the importance of integrating modern technologies with natural inputs.
“By integrating Nano Fertilizers with botanical inputs like Dharamrut, farmers can achieve better yields with optimized input costs, while also improving soil health. This balanced approach is essential for sustainable and climate-smart agriculture,” he added.
Dharamrut is a natural seaweed-based botanical extract formulated to enhance nutrient absorption, stimulate root and shoot development, and improve overall crop vigor. The product also supports long-term soil health and enhances crop resilience against environmental stress, making it well-suited for sustainable agricultural practices.
The launch of Dharamrut complements IFFCO’s existing portfolio of Nano Fertilizers and advanced bio-based agricultural inputs, reinforcing its farmer-first innovation strategy. Through such initiatives, IFFCO continues to enable farmers to achieve higher productivity while maintaining environmental responsibility.
