An agri-input shop is one of the most trusted businesses in a village or town — farmers visit every season for seed, nutrition and crop protection. Adding bio fertilizers, micronutrients and bio stimulants to your range helps you serve farmers better and improves your margins.

Step 1: Get the dealer registration

Selling fertilizers (including bio fertilizers and organic fertilizers) in India requires a dealer registration under the Fertilizer Control Order, issued by the agriculture department of your state — usually through the district agriculture office. Requirements differ by state and are updated from time to time, so confirm the current documents, fees and any qualification requirement with your district agriculture officer before you start.

Step 2: Prepare the shop and storage

Keep a clean, dry and shaded storage area. Bio fertilizers contain live microbes and must be protected from direct sun and heat; liquid products should be stored upright and away from chemicals.

Step 3: Choose the right product range

Farmers look for solutions to specific problems: poor roots, deficiency symptoms, low flowering, weather stress. A good starter range covers bio fertilizers (Rhizobium, PSB, Azotobacter), micronutrients (zinc, boron, iron), water soluble fertilizers and bio stimulants (seaweed, humic, amino).

Step 4: Partner with a manufacturer that supports you

Look for consistent quality, clear labels, reliable supply and field support. Kheti India Agro Industries (Jabalpur, MP) manufactures fertilizers, micronutrients, bio fertilizers and bio stimulants, and supports its retailers with the AI Retailer Saathi app for orders and crop advisory.
