LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

 

As per its tradition, the Society has again exhibited an impressive financial performance in all its major parameters, namely, revenue growth, margins and resource utilisation, testifying to the robustness of its Corporate Strategy of creating multiple drivers of growth in spite of constraints in the availability of raw materials and the inordinate delays in the receipt of large subsidy amounts from Government of India. It was made possible due to higher production, sales volume and improvement in operating efficiencies.

 

With the efforts of the Society, international prices of fertilisers have eased to reasonable levels, which is good from the point of supplying strategic plant nutrients to farmers at affordable prices. As a consequence of lowering of international prices of inputs and imported fertilisers and subsidy levels, the Sales Turnover of the Society in value has come down to Rs.168090.000 millions during 2009-10 from Rs.329330.000 millions in the previous year even though the physical turnover was higher at 118.27 lakh MT of fertilisers during 2009-10 as against 112.58 lakh MT in 2008-09. The performance is even more satisfying when viewed in the light of the challenging business environment in the fertiliser industry.

 

Financing Cost

 

The gross interest expenditure at Rs.7650.000 millions during 2009-10 was much lower in comparison to Rs.10230.000 millions incurred in the previous year. There was a significant improvement in working capital management with a lower inventory of finished goods/raw materials, improved debt collections, measures taken to tap alternate cheaper sources of borrowings and negotiating lower interest rates with lenders at the most competitive rates. The short-term interest burden includes an amount of Rs.1220.000 millions attributed to the financing cost of funding the delayed receipt of subsidy/concession from the Government of India during the year.

 

Foreign Exchange Management

 

The year witnessed wide volatility in Foreign Exchange Parity of different currencies particularly in respect of INR/USD parity. As a result of efficient Foreign Exchange Management, the Society earned Foreign Exchange gain of Rs.1050.000 millions during the year. The Board will like to place on record the outstanding performance of the Joint Managing Director and CFO and his team for the excellent performance on this Foreign Exchange Management.

 

Net Profit

 

Various business segments of the Society achieved healthy growth in profitability over the previous year. The Profit Before Depreciation, Interest and Tax (PBDIT) was Rs.17902.000 millions as compared to Rs.19355.500 millions in the previous year. The Profit Before Tax at Rs. 5672.800 millions showed an increase of 28.36 per cent as compared to Rs.4419.500 millions in the previous year with the Profit After Tax at Rs.4011.000 millions as compared to the previous year’s figure of Rs.3600.100 millions.

 

Appropriations Out of Net Profit

 

In accordance with the provisions of the Multi-State Cooperative Societies Act, 2002, (MSCS Act), contribution towards the Capital Repatriation Fund is required to be deducted from Profit After Tax for the purpose of arriving at the Net Profit in terms of Section 62(2) of the MSCS Act. Accordingly, after providing for Rs.4.700 millions as contribution towards the Capital Repatriation Fund, the Net Allocable Profit works out to Rs.4006.300 millions.

 

SHARE CAPITAL AND NET WORTH

 

As on March 31, 2010, the paid-up Share Capital was Rs.4262.400 millions as against Rs.4262.800 millions during 2008-09. During the year, Share Capital of Rs.6.500 millions was repatriated to weaker cooperative societies and Shares valuing Rs.6.200 millions to Member Cooperative Societies were issued. The total number of Member Shareholders as on March 31, 2010, was 39,862.

 

RESERVES AND SURPLUS

 

The Reserves and Surplus increased from Rs.35325.900 millions as on March 31, 2009, to Rs.38442.600 millions as on March 31, 2010, indicating an increase of Rs.3116.700 millions over the previous year. The Net Worth of the Society as on March 31, 2010, increased to Rs.42705.000 millions from Rs.39588.700 millions in the previous year.

 

PLANT PERFORMANCE

 

Production

 

Since its inception, the Units have cumulatively produced 1,190.91 lakh MT fertiliser materials comprising 714.94 lakh MT Urea and 475.97 lakh MT NPK/DAP up to the period ending March 31, 2010. During the year 2009-10, the Units surpassed all previous production by producing the highest-ever 81.98 lakh MT of fertilisers consisting of the highest-ever 43.24 lakh MT Urea and also the highest-ever 38.74 lakh MT NP/NPK/DAP. The previous best production level was 71.68 lakh MT of fertilisers during the year 2008-09. Thus, the Society has produced an additional 10.40 lakh MT of fertilisers during 2009-10 as compared to the last year, registering an increase in production by 14.5 per cent. Urea Units have produced the highest-ever 43.24 lakh MT as compared to 40.68 lakh MT in the previous year, achieving an overall capacity utilisation of 101.9 per cent. Kandla and Paradeep Units have shown excellent performance producing 38.84 lakh MT NPK/DAP as compared to 31.00 lakh MT NPK/DAP during the previous year, achieving an overall capacity utilisation of 89.4 per cent.

 

The Paradeep Unit achieved the production of 15 lakh MT NPK/DAP during the year 2009-10, which is the best production by Paradeep Unit so far and is 14.85 per cent higher as compared to last year. The Kalol Unit achieved the highest-ever production of 6 lakh MT Urea during 2009-10. The Aonla and Phulpur Units have also achieved an outstanding production performance by surpassing their previous best production records.

 

The Kalol and Phulpur Units achieved the lowest-ever Energy Consumption. The overall composite Specific Energy Consumption per tonne of Urea for all the Plants during 2009-10 was 5.832 GCal/MT Urea, which is the lowest energy consumption so far.

 

Kalol Expansion Project

 

IFFCO has planned setting up a new 1.4 million MT Urea Plant at the Kalol Unit with an investment of about Rs.45000.000 millions. Haldor Topsoe A/S, Process Licensor for the Ammonia Plant, was entrusted the partial Basic Engineering Work for the Ammonia Plant, based on which L and T has been invited for submission of a proposal for the execution of the Ammonia Plant on a lumpsum EPC basis, with a view to firm-up cost estimates for the project leased on a comparative evaluation of the cost-plus and lumpsum EPC routes of project execution.

 

PDIL, the Consultant for offsite facilities, has finalised the overall plot plan of the complex. Pre-project activities such as site survey, contour mapping, preliminary geo-technical investigation, back-filling/grading/levelling and fencing of the project site, along with the construction of approach roads and guard pond, have also been completed.

 

Environment Clearance for the proposed Kalol Expansion Project II has been received from the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India. Other statutory approvals such as an NOC from GIDC and provisional approval of the plot plan from the Directorate of Factories have also been obtained. A MoU has been signed with the Government of Gujarat under the Vibrant Gujarat Programme to facilitate project clearances/assistance, as required, during project execution. The only pending matter is now the firm allocation of gas by the GOI.

 

MARKETING

 

Sales Performance

 

The year 2009-10 had not been very good from the agriculture point of view. The south-west monsoon during Kharif 2009 was the most deficient since 1972. Out of 36 meteorological sub-divisions in the country, 22 recorded deficient rainfall during the south-west monsoon period (June-September 2009). Moreover, distribution of rainfall was very erratic over time and space. Deficiency in rainfall, particularly in July and August 2009, severely affected Kharif crops, especially paddy. However, the recovery of monsoon in the last quarter of the year 2009 protected the Kharif crops to some extent and improved the prospects of Rabi crops in 2009-10. The overall production of Kharif cereals in 2009-10 declined by about 18.51 million tonnes over 2008-09. The foodgrain production during the year 2009-10 is estimated at 218 million tonnes as against the actual 233.88 million tonnes in 2008-09.

 

The fertiliser consumption in the country during 2009-10 is estimated to be slightly higher as compared to last year at 263 lakh tonne of nutrients (N+P+K) as against actual of about 249 lakh tonnes of nutrients achieved during 2008-09, representing an increase of about 5.6 per cent. Urea consumption during 2009-10 is estimated at 265 lakh tonnes as against 266 lakh tonnes during 2008-09. DAP/MAP/TSP consumption during 2009-10 is likely to be seven per cent higher at 104 lakh tonnes as against 97 lakh tonnes during 2008-09. NPK’s consumption during 2009-10 is estimated at 82 lakh tonnes as against 70 lakh tonnes in 2008-09. The import of Urea and DAP/MAP/TSP in the country during 2009-10 were about 52.1 lakh tonnes and 59.3 lakh tonnes, respectively.

 

During the year, IFFCO achieved the highest-ever sales of 118.27 lakh tonnes of fertiliser material compared to the previous year’s record sale of 112.58 lakh tonnes, representing an increase of about five per cent. Higher sales could be achieved primarily due to effective planning, proper logistics management combined with timely supplies and distribution, and intensive marketing strategy adopted by the Society at all levels. Urea sales during 2009-10 were 63.35 lakh tonnes as compared to 58.69 lakh tonnes achieved during 2008-09, representing an increase of 7.9 per cent.

 

NP/NPK/DAP sales during 2009-10 were slightly higher by about 1.9 per cent at 54.92 lakh tones as against 53.89 lakh tonnes in 2008-09.

 

Distribution Network

 

IFFCO distributes its fertilisers in 29 States/UTs in the country through the cooperative system. As a matter of policy, IFFCO is channelising its entire production and imports through the cooperative network.

 

IFFCO sells its fertilisers through a network of about 39,862 cooperative societies in different States. Nearly 60 per cent of the material was sold directly to Societies whereas 35 per cent was routed through Federations. About 5 per cent fertilisers are sold through 158 Farmers Service Centres run by IFFCO. The Member Societies are well spread out, reaching out to most of the villages in the country and thus constitute the backbone of the cooperative network.

 

Product Movement

 

The Society despatched 117.7 lakh tonnes of fertiliser material (Urea and NP/NPK/DAP/MAP) from the plants and ports during the current year. This included 9.5 lakh tonnes of Urea from OMIFCO, 10.3 lakh tonnes imported Urea on GOI Account, and 15.9 lakh tonnes imported DAP/MAP. OMIFCO and imported Urea were dispatched from the ports to different States according to ECA allocation given by the GOI.

 

Farmers Service Centres

 

The Society also sensitises farmers through its own 158 Farmers Service Centres (FSCs) spread over 10 States, namely, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, U.P., Uttarakhand, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, West Bengal and Goa. Apart from the supply of fertilisers, seeds, agro-chemicals and so on, under one roof, these centres also serve as the contact point for providing technical know-how to farmers.

 

During 2009-10, these FSCs sold about 5.49 lakh tonnes of fertilisers as against 4.47 lakh tones in 2008-09. FSCs have also organised need-based promotional programmes such as farmers meetings, soil test campaigns and demonstrations in the villages around FSCs with a view to propagate the message of balanced and efficient use of fertilisers.

 

Granular Urea from OMAN

 

The Government of India has entrusted the responsibility of the handling and marketing of 50 per cent of OMIFCO Urea to IFFCO. During 2009-10, IFFCO handled 32 vessels carrying 10.19 lakh tonnes of OMIFCO Urea at Kandla, Mundra, Pipavav, Vizag, Kakinada Deep Water, Krishnapatnam and Tuticorin ports. Despatches of OMIFCO Urea were made to different States against ECA allocation.

 

Water Soluble Fertiliser

 

The Society carried out extensive trials on Urea Phosphate (17:44:0) fertiliser (100 per cent water soluble) in collaboration with ICAR, State Agricultural Universities during the last three years. The results were very encouraging and highlighted the importance of fertigation to increase both water and nutrient use efficiency in high value crops such as fruits, vegetables, flowers and sugarcane. During 2009-10, the Society sold 385.6 tonnes of Urea Phosphate and 174.0 tonnes of NPK 19:19:19.

 

BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL REVIEW OF SUBSIDIARIES AND ASSOCIATES

 

Their business portfolio has been steadily growing with the high growth aspirations. They have stepped up their investments in related businesses through various Joint Ventures and Associate Companies in order to strengthen ourselves further by looking at new opportunities that are unfolding and create value addition in the core fertiliser sector. On March 31, 2010, the total investment was Rs.8923.300 millions in comparison to Rs.9140.000 millions on March 31, 2009.

Advisory services are being provided to cooperative sugar mills under the Sugar Development Fund Programme.

 

Indian Farm Forestry Development Cooperative Limited (IFFDC)

 

The Society had promoted a separate Multi-State Cooperative Society named ‘Indian Farm Forestry Development Cooperative Limited (IFFDC)’ in 1993 with the prime objective of development of wasteland for tree plantation and to enhance the socio-economic status of rural poor through sustainable Natural Resource Management by collective action. To achieve this, IFFDC initially implemented afforestation and rural development projects in the States of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan with an objective to improve degraded land, generate employment and provide fuel and fodder to the community. Afforestation in about 27,000 hectare wasteland had been achieved by promoting 146 village level Primary Farm Forestry Cooperative Societies (PFFCS). These PFFCS cover about 28,500 members, out of which about 38 per cent are landless and 51 per cent small/marginal farmers. The area of operation of IFFDC has further been extended to Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Orissa, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra.

 

IFFDC has been awarded the ‘Amity Corporate Excellence Award 2008’ by Amity International Business School for its outstanding contribution towards afforestation on wasteland, environment conservation and promoting rural economy and ‘Amity HR Work Place Environment Award 2008’ for its consistent and relentless efforts to create a conducive environment yielding success and growth.

 

Cooperative Rural Development Trust (CORDET)

 

The Cooperative Rural Development Trust (CORDET) has been providing practical training to farmers to improve their skills in crop and animal husbandry, horticulture, farm mechanisation, balanced fertilisation, use of bio-fertilisers, bee-keeping, pisciculture, computer use, screen printing, printing, welding, tailoring and embroidery, adult education programmes, fruits and vegetables preservation, etc., at Phulpur and Kalol Units.

 

During the year 2009-10, the CORDET Phulpur, Kalol and Kandla (Pantia Farm) organized 249 training programmes benefiting 14,314 farmers including women from various States. CORDET Phulpur and Kalol also provide free soil testing facilities through their Soil Testing Laboratories to the farmers. During the year 2009-10, 99,564 soil samples were analysed. In addition, 481 soil samples were also analysed for micro nutrients and 18 samples for irrigation water.

 

The bio-fertiliser plants at CORDET Phulpur and Kalol produced Azotobacter, Rhizobium and PSB strains of bio-fertiliser. The total production of bio-fertilisers during 2009-10 was 719.3 tonnes in powder form and 7,579.0 litres in liquid form.

PROFILE:

 

During mid-sixties the Co-operative sector in India was responsible for distribution of 70 per cent of fertilisers consumed in the country. This Sector had adequate infrastructure to distribute fertilisers but had no production facilities of its own and hence dependent on public/private Sectors for supplies. To overcome this lacuna and to bridge the demand supply gap in the country, a new cooperative society was conceived to specifically cater to the requirements of farmers. It was an unique venture in which the farmers of the country through their own Co-operative Societies created this new institution to safeguard their interests. The number of co-operative societies associated with IFFCO have risen from 57 in 1967 to more than 36,000 now.

 

Subject was registered on November 3, 1967 as a Multi-unit Co-operative Society. On the enactment of the Multistate Cooperative Societies act 1984 and 2002, the Society is deemed to be registered as a Multistate Cooperative Society. The Society is primarily engaged in production and distribution of fertilisers. The byelaws of the Society provide a broad frame work for the activities of IFFCO as a Cooperative Society.

 
IFFCO commissioned an ammonia - urea complex at Kalol and the NPK/DAP plant at Kandla both in the state of Gujarat in 1975. Another ammonia - urea complex was set up at Phulpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1981. The ammonia - urea unit at Aonla was commissioned in 1988. The annual installed capacity of all the plants was 1.62 million tonne of Urea and NPK/DAP equivalent to 309 thousand tonne of phosphates.

 
In 1993, IFFCO had drawn up a major expansion programme of all the four plants under overall aegis of IFFCO VISION 2000 . The expansion projects at Aonla, Kalol and Phulpur have been completed on schedule. The latest feather in the cap of IFFCO was completion of Kandla Phase-II on 5th August 1999 which has heralded realisation of all the objectives set forth under VISION - 2000. As per the tradition of IFFCO the project was completed more than two months ahead of schedule. As a result of these expansion projects IFFCO's annual capacity has been increased to 3.69 million tonne of Urea and NPK/DAP equivalent to 825 thousand tonne of phosphates. With the successful realisation of all the objectives of Vision 2000, IFFCO has emerged as a pioneer in international cooperative movement. A new path has been chalked out to realise newer dreams and greater heights through Vision 2010 which is presently under implementation.

 
The distribution of IFFCO's fertiliser is undertaken through over 36,000 co-operative societies. The entire activities of Distribution, Sales and Promotion are co-ordinated by Marketing Central Office (MKCO) at New Delhi assisted by the Marketing offices in the field. In addition, essential agro-inputs for crop production are made available to the farmers through a chain of 167 Farmers Service Centre (FSC). IFFCO obsessively nurtures its relations with farmers and undertakes a large number of agricultural extension activities for their benefit every year.

 
At IFFCO, the thirst for ever improving the services to farmers and member co-operatives is insatiable, commitment to quality is insurmountable and harnessing of mother earths' bounty to drive hunger away from India in an ecologically sustainable manner is the prime mission. All that IFFCO cherishes in exchange is an everlasting smile on the face of Indian Farmer who form the moving spirit behind this mision.


IFFCO, to day, is a player in India's fertiliser industry and is making substantial contribution to the efforts of Indian Government to increase foodgrain production in the country.
