10. PRODUCT PROFILE OF IFFCO
NPK- The two grades of NPK produced by IFFCO, 10:26:26 and 12:32:16, indicating
the content of N, P, K proportion, is tailor made to supply the exact composition
required for replenishment of the soil.
DAP(DI-AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE)-It is the most popular phosphate fertilizer because
of its high analysis and good physical properties. The composition of pure salt of DAP
is N-21.19% and P210 -53.76%.Fertilizer grade DAP is 18:46:0.
UREA-Urea is the most important nitrogenous fertilizer in the country because of its
high N content (46%N). Besides its use in the crops, it is used as a cattle feed
supplement to replace a part of protein requirements.
11. SWOT ANALYSIS
. STRENGTH:-
Fertilizer is the basic raw material for agriculture production. Government can not dare to
make policies which are not conducive to the farmers.
Demand of fertilizer is more in the country than the production capacity therefore whatever is
produced will be sold.
Government ensures the availability of raw material (NG/NAPHTHA) at reasonable price as it
has at subsidy of fertilizer is subsidizing product.
IFFCO is a co-operative organization and selling its product through co-operative channel.
All plants are of latest technology of art and are in healthy condition.
WEAKNESS:-
As per by law of the company it can fallows the co-operative channel only for sale of its
product. In case demand fall short in the channel company end up with higher stock inventory.
Price of the product cannot be raised and government pay the subsidies as per its calculation
of fertilizers cost.
12. OPPORTUNITY:-
IFFCO can cut on cost by reducing energy consumption for per MT of UREA, thereby
enhancing its profitability.
IFFCO can also reduce its fixed cost per MT of UREA by enhancing its production capacity &
thereby increase in production and profitability.
IFFCO has also entered into a long term of take and supply agreement with international
holdings of AUSTRALIA for supplying phosphate to insure raw material supply NPK/DAP
fertilizers plants.
THREATS:-
NG supply in the country is not sufficient to meet present country requirement. However NG
in liquid form is imported from various gulf countries and rigidified at petro net in Gujrat to
meet demand of fertilizers units.
If supplies of NG suffer due to an region. It will be reflected in production of IFFCO.
Supply of Rock phosphate is also a threat to the production NPK/DAP. It rate are not stable in
the international market.
13. FINDINGS
Majority of the farmers are using IFFCO product and rest are using other including Tata,
Narmada & others.
60% of the farmers are waiting for a particular brand of fertilizers.
Most of the farmers are selecting the fertilizers on brand basis and second major criteria to
select the fertilizers are availability.
90% of the farmers desired for the plastic bag and only 10%for the jute bag.
70% of farmer’s desire 50kg pack & rest 30% prefer 25kg pack.
In a village about 60% farmers meetings,15% Field Day,10% Socioeconomic &15% Other
Promotional Programmed were organized by IFFCO.
I found that farmers are satisfied with the IFFCO fertilizers even in un adopted villages.
There are a number of reasons to prefer the plastic bag:
Moisture control.
Reusable and strong.
14. CONCLUSION
INDIAN FARMERS FERTILIZER COOPERATIVE LIMTED is the
one of the biggest and the most popular company in India.
IFFCO manufactured fertilizer products like UREA, NPK, DAP
etc.
IFFCO provide both quantities & qualities products at good
