IMMA's 6th National Crop Nutrition Summit & B2B Expo, Mumbai

6th National Crop Nutrition Summit & B2B Expo

Theme: Converge, Collaborate & Co-create : Elevate India as the World’s Agri-Input Manufacturing Hub

Date: 5th & 6th February, 2026

Venue: National Stock Exchange (NSE), BKC, Mumbai

The event is being organized under the umbrella of the INDIAN MICRO-FERTILIZERS MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION (IMMA). IMMA was established in 1983 to represent the interests of the micronutrient manufacturers throughout the country. Our members have been working with the farming communities for almost 50 years and have played a vital role in making balanced plant nutrition a national imperative. IMMA has three major focus areas of work: Policy Advocacy with Government, Knowledge and Skills Training of staff and stakeholders across India, as well as developing unity and Fellowship amongst members.

Over the years, this flagship event has set benchmarks in industry engagement — including:

• Recognition in the India Book of Records for conducting the maximum number of B2B meetings in a single day.
• Letters of appreciation and recognition from the Hon’ble President of India and the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India.

Converge, Collaborate & Co-create: Elevate India as the World’s Agri-Input Manufacturing Hub

India today possesses a rare convergence of advantages—scientific capability, a strong industrial base, expanding global market linkages, and an agricultural sector that increasingly embraces technology. The theme “Converge, Collaborate & Co-create” reflects the strategic approach required to translate these strengths into a clear national objective: positioning India as the world’s foremost hub for agri-input manufacturing, particularly in crop nutrition.

Converge signifies the alignment of policy, innovation, and industry capacity. To compete globally, India must channel its research expertise, manufacturing infrastructure, and regulatory reforms into a unified agenda that strengthens quality, scalability, and cost competitiveness. Convergence around a national vision will help India move from being a large domestic market to becoming a global supply powerhouse in fertilizers, micronutrients, and next-generation crop nutrition products.

Collaborate highlights the importance of coordinated action. Elevating India’s global standing requires deeper partnerships between government and industry, academia and manufacturers, start-ups and established enterprises. Harmonized standards, faster innovation pipelines, efficient logistics, and supportive trade policies can significantly enhance India’s credibility and reliability as an export-ready agri-input manufacturing ecosystem.

Co-create reflects the need for solutions driven by shared innovation and farmer-centric development. By integrating field-level insights with cutting-edge R&D, India can lead the world in sustainable, bio-based, and customized nutrition solutions. Co-creation accelerates product development cycles, nurtures indigenous technologies, and ensures that India’s offerings meet global expectations for efficacy, safety, and environmental responsibility.

Together, these three drivers form a powerful blueprint. By converging national capabilities, collaborating across the value chain, and co-creating advanced crop nutrition solutions, India can firmly establish itself as the preferred global destination for agri-input manufacturing delivering quality, innovation, and scale to world markets while strengthening domestic agricultural prosperity.

As IMMA convenes the 6th National Crop Nutrition Summit, the message is clear: India’s moment to lead the world in agri-input manufacturing is now, and it will be realized through collective vision, shared action, and innovation-led growth.
