Fertilizer SubsidyThe distribution of low-cost chemical or non-chemical fertilizers to farmers. It is the difference between the price paid to fertilizer manufacturers (local or international) and the price received from farmers; the government bears the rest of the burden.

Export SubsidyExport subsidies are financial incentives provided to farmers and exporters to help them compete on a global scale. They are generally promoted as long as they do not have a negative impact on the home economy.
Credit SubsidyCredit availability is a major issue for disadvantaged farmers, as they lack the funds to purchase equipment and are unable to access the credit market due to lack of collateral.
