Limestone is a form of sedimentary rock, which is formed due to pressure. It generally contains 50% of calcite, which is a form of calcium carbonate. It is made up from different sources. It is used in wide range of applications such as construction, agriculture, glass and steel making and many more. In agriculture, it serves the purpose of neutralizing the pH of soil.

For agricultural purpose, limestone is available in normal (i.e. powdered) form or in the granular or palletized form. The use of normal limestone is comparatively more in agriculture since it can be easily applied on the soil surface and gets broken down easily due to its fine particle size, hence accelerating the speed of activity and increasing its effectiveness as compared to the limestone available in the palletized form.
The limestone market for agriculture is well developed in Asia Pacific, followed by North America.
