Crop Type (Grains & Cereals, Commercial crops)
Grains and cereals account for a significant market share due to the nitrogen-fixing capabilities of BGA fertilizer and low-cost inputs. With vast rice production, the BGA fertilizer market is experiencing significant growth. Rice production in 2021 was estimated to be around 212 million metric tons.
End-User (Organic Farms, Nursery, Domestic)
Organic farms account for the majority of the blue-green algae fertilizer market share of 54% because BGA fertilizers are more commonly employed in organic farms since they produce compounds that increase the quantity of organic matter in the soil. These are great solutions because they assist both the environment and the economy while providing nutrients to crops at an affordable price.
