“India's fertilizer production drops 25% amid Iran war”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim specifies a decline of 24.6% in March 2026 compared to March 2025. While the evidence provides context for 2026 and fertilizer issues, the specific data point (24.6% decline for March 2026 vs March 2025) is not found in the provided search snippets, making it attributable to a single, unverified source context.

“While the sector accounts for less than 20% of the nation's GDP, it is still the largest source of employment in India.”
