PAKISTAN FERTILIZER INDUSTRY

INTRODUCTION TO PAKISTAN FERTILIZER INDUSTRY The fertilizer products are variations of three primary soil nutrients, namely nitrogen

(N), phosphorous (P) and potassium (K). It is the suitability of a nutrient for crop that

determines the usage of a particular fertilizer product. Pakistan’s soil is deficient in

nitrogen and phosphate; thereby an optimal combination of these nutrients is necessary

to achieve higher yield levels. However, the availability and price of a product at a given

point in time impacts the demand pattern. For instance, lower prices of Urea and DAP

on nutrient basis, being partial substitutes of CAN and NP respectively, are likely to

affect the demand of these products. Moreover, lack of awareness among farmers also

plays a role in determining the use of fertilizers. Not realizing the benefits of an optimal

NP ratio, farmers tend to favor products available in the market at cheaper rates. On the

other hand, considerable growth potential remains for the product which could be

tapped by continuous education of the farmer community. Considering the importance

of agriculture in Pakistan, government support to the fertilizer sector remains critical in

ensuring smooth availability of products at affordable prices. In this regard, import of

duty free rock phosphate and subsidy on natural gas are major support measures on the

part of the government. Natural gas is an essential input in fertilizer contributing

around80% to the total production cost as fuel and feedstock. As the energy crisis

deepened in early 2010 it posed some business risk to the fertilizer sector in the shape

of curtailment in feedstock gas supply. However, companies kept their margins intact by

passing on the impact to consumers through increasing the per bag price of fertilizer

products. The prevailing economic conditions along with mounting budget deficits have

put pressure on the government to reduce/discontinue subsidy to different sectors.

Likewise, readjustments in the fertilizer sector are also on the anvil. On account of

relatively inelastic demand of fertilizers, producers have pricing power through which

they pass on the rising cost of input to the consumers. Recently, the Competition

Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has directed the industry to give explanation before any

further increase in fertilizer prices. There are also proposals to provide direct subsidy to

the farmer as a relief measure rather than routing it through fertilizer companies but in

view of operational difficulties any material progress in this regard seems to be remote.

While the subsidy scheme on phosphate and potassic fertilizers was waived off from

January 2009 onwards, a new scheme on potassic fertilizer at the rate of Rs.500/bag has

been initiated since January 2010.The prevalent demand and supply gap in the market

has triggered setting up of new plants in the country. Notable additions in recent times

include FATIMA with a total capacity of producing CAN, NP, NPK and Urea at 1580

thousand tones, Suraj Fertilizer Industries having a capacity of producing SSP 18

percent at 150 thousand tones and Agritech Limited (formerly Pak American Fertilizer)

P a g e 5 | 38

adding 137 thousand tons of Urea. Moreover, Engro has installed a new urea plant with

a significant annual capacity of 1.3 million tones. While the installed capacities have

reduced the import requirements of fertilizer products, the additional capacity of Engro

is likely to create a surplus situation in local market of urea for some time, if the gas

curtailment is taken care of. The future prospects of the fertilizer industry are directly

aligned with growth in the agriculture sector. Availability of water & gas and favorable

government policies will play a pivotal role in determining the viability of the industry.

With the resumption of fertilizer exports from China after relaxation in export tax,

international price trend in fertilizer products is likely to keep a steady profile amid

reduction in the demand and supply gap. However, the local urea prices are still at a

considerable discount to the international prices.

fertilizer. Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in

common use (46.7%).

Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP): It contains 46% P2O5 and 18% N. It is water soluble. It is a good source of P fertilizer

for all crops. Good source for problem soils. Overall, it suits to about 90% soil of the

country

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN): Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) contain 27 % N and 20 % of ground limestone. This

has a rapid as well as permanent effect. The granulation of this fertilizer ensures a quick

and exact dosing.

Ammonium Sulphate (AS): (NH4)2SO4, is an inorganic salt. It is used largely as an artificial fertilizer for alkaline

soils. It lowers the pH balance of the soil, while contributing essential nitrogen for plant

growth.

Single Super Phosphate: Superphosphate is a fertilizer produced by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid on

powdered phosphate rock.

Nitro phosphate (NP): It provides 22% nitrogen, and 20% phosphorus. Nitrogen is a primary nutrient that

really makes plants "grow”. Phosphorus is a primary nutrient that encourages rooting,

blooming and fruit production in plants.

Sulphate of Potash: Potassium sulphate (K2SO4)) is a non-flammable white crystalline salt which is soluble

in water. This chemical is commonly used in fertilizers, providing both potassium and

Sulphur.

INTRODUCTION TO FERTILIZER ORGANIZATION

FAUJI FERTILIZERS: Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited (FFC) is the largest fertilizer producer in Pakistan with

around 60% urea market share in the country.

FFC was established in 1978 as a joint venture between Fauji Foundation, Pakistan and

Haldor Topsoe A/S, Denmark. The first ammonia - urea complex was commissioned in

1982. Since then, the company’s growth has been phenomenal, with de-bottlenecking of

Plant-1 in 1992, establishment of a 2nd plant in 1993 and acquisition of a 3rd plant is

2002. FFC now has three plants with a combined nameplate capacity of 5770 MTPD of

prilled urea. Urea and Ammonia technology licensors for all plants are Snamprogetti

Italy and Haldor Topsoe Denmark respectively.

Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim Limited, Karachi, Pakistan (FFBL) is another company where

FFC has controlling shmkojoares – it produces 1670 MTPD of granular urea plus 1350

MTPD DAP. Ammonia and Urea plants capacity factors right from the plants start-up

have been 100% or more. Indeed, we have had our share of challenges, but with hard

work, determination, and grace of Allah we have successfully overcome many of the

hurdles.

FFC keeps an effective exchange of information with other plant operators that enables

us to take pre-emptive measures to avoid specific contingencies, and solve problems

when we encounter them, in an efficient manner. Today, FFC is also emerging as a

player in the spheres of manpower training and turnaround services provider,

especially within Pakistan and in the Middle East. We have experience of more than 21

maintenance turnarounds and 23 million man hours of safe operation. We also offer

turnaround inspection services including NDT, machinery diagnostics, infrared

thermography etc.

VISION: “To be a leading national enterprise with global aspirations, effectively pursuing

multiple growth opportunities, maximizing returns to the stakeholders, remaining

socially and ethically responsible”

P a g e 13 | 38

MISSION: To provide our customers with premium quality products in a safe, reliable, efficient

and environmentally sound manner, deliver exceptional services and customer support,

maximizing returns to the shareholders through core business and diversification,

providing a dynamic and challenging environment for our employees.

CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW: “As the energy crisis worsens, FFC remains steadfast in

delivering results to its stakeholders; proving yet again our

unfaltering will to evolve, perform and deliver.”

It gives me immense pleasure to report yet another hallmark

year in the Company’s history, with diversified investments

during the year in financial services sector, and pioneering into

food business through acquisition of an IQF (Individually Quick

Frozen) food technology project. 2013 also marks the

beginning of a new era of renewable energy for the Country

through our pioneer wind farm project – FFC Energy Limited,

with supply of over 90.19 GWH (Giga Watt Hours) to the National grid during the

period, post successful achievement of commercial operations in May 2013.

We remain committed towards further alleviating the energy crisis which has gripped

the nation and its economy and towards this end; we are evaluating the potential for

additional investments in the energy sector.

I am confident that in time, these ventures shall become industry leaders, augmenting

our

Shareholders return in a challenging and uncertain economic environment while also

catering to the financial, agricultural, food and energy requirements of our fellow

Pakistanis.

Persistent gas curtailment in addition to escalating gas costs and governmental levies

continue to strain our operations. Despite these challenges, FFC posted a strong

performance with net earnings of Rs. 20.14 billion with a marginal decline of 4% against

last year. Based on the results, the Board is pleased to announce final dividend of Rs.

4.00 per share (40%) bringing the total dividend for the year to Rs. 15.35 per share

(153.5%).

While we are dedicated towards expansion, we remain focused on strengthening our

core competencies. The risks emanating from depleting gas reserves and persistent gas

curtailment are being analyzed for mitigation through potential coal based technologies

in addition to improved efficiencies and economies.

Our contribution to society goes beyond delivering returns to stakeholders and includes

supply of premium quality fertilizer, technical advice to farming community, gainful

employment and savings of foreign exchange in terms of import substitution. However,

P a g e 14 | 38

these can only be sustained with supportive Governmental policies, with due regard to

the potential avenues for export of surplus fertilizer output augmenting Country’s

economy and improving its balance of payments.

I take this opportunity to thank our outgoing directors who have, over their tenure,

rendered invaluable services and contribution towards the success of the Company and

achievement of our objectives.

This year’s achievements are attributable to the bold strategies, successfully executed

by our dedicated employees, who contributed immensely towards a successful year and

I wish them continued growth and success in all areas of activity.

FERTILIZER BY ENGRO CHEMICAL PAKISTAN LTD.

NITROGENOUS FERTILIZERS:

Engro UREA is a trusted, high-grade fertilizer which is suitable for all crops on all types

of soils. Engro Urea is an excellent source of Nitrogen for the vast majority of cultivated

soils of Pakistan.

PHOSPHATIC FERTILIZERS:

Engro DAP:It contains 46% P2O5 and 18% N. It is a good source of P fertilizer for all

crops. It is an equally good source on problem soils. On an overall basis it suits to about

90% soils of the country.

EngroZorawar:It is one of the highest grade phosphate fertilizers. It is acidic in

reaction more than 90% is water soluble. It is a beneficial fertilizer for all crops on all

soils of Pakistan and produces excellent results on alkaline soils, due to its acidic

Engro Phosphate: Itis brown colored mono ammonium phosphate with

11%nitrogen and 52% phosphorus. It is being marketed as relatively cheaper alternate

of DAP.

BLENDED FERTILIZERS:

EngroZarkhez:It is homogenously granulated fertilizer which maximizes crop yield

by providing balanced nutrition for a wide variety of crops through the uniform

P a g e 19 | 38

availability of Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium. Fertilizers have low moisture

content, high crush strength; 2mm-4mm granule size and free flowing nature -attributes

which ensure excellent handling and application characteristics.

Engro NP:It provides 22% nitrogen, and 20% phosphorus. ECPL entered into NP

business in 2005 to Primary focus area for ENP marketing is South Zone (Sind).

MICRO NUTRIENTS

Zingro: Zinc Sulphate, a highly effective, primarily targets Zinc deficiency in crops like

Rice, Potato, and Maize, Sugar cane, Wheat, Cotton, vegetables and fruits.

Zingroincreases crop yield and enhances crop appearance.

Snapshots:

P a g e 20 | 38

P a g e 21 | 38

Economic Impact of the industry: The economy of the country does have considerable impact on the fertilizer industry in

the following ways:

The cost of this industry is quite high which is very difficult for the economy of

the country to support especially in current circumstances.

Natural Gas is the main requirement of this industry and it is very difficult to

fulfill that.

Recently the government has announced the cut in the supply of the Natural Gas

in the shape of load shedding.

P a g e 22 | 38

When there is a boom in the agriculture sector of the economy, the demand of

the fertilizers also gets increased which puts positive effects on the industry.

HUMAN RESOURCE ISSUE IN INDUSTRY: There would not be any of such issues in the industry as the educated human resource

is easily available and for further enhancement in performance training should be

conducted in companies both technical and interpersonal.

HURDLES IN MARKETING: Weak competition or shortages may lead to price gouging and/or product

adulteration.

Rigid and slow reaction to market changes.

New entrants discouraged.

Uneducated target market because of this marketing is difficult.

Prices are not same in all over Pakistan.

Ineffective distribution process.

FINANCING EASILY AVAILABLE:

Financing is easily available in this sector. The government is willing to develop this

sector so that it would fulfill the requirements. Recently, two plants are opening; one is

of Fatima Fertilizer and one of Engro Ammonia Plant. In project of Engro Ammonia

Plant there is total investment of $1billion is needed, for which it has signed a syndicate

loan of Rs 18.3 billion.

IMPACT OF POLITICAL PARTIES: As in Pakistan, there is a culture that all of the work related to Government would be

easier only when you have good relationship with these parties. Fertilizer Industry has

too much concern with the Government for availability of Natural Gas and Water,

subsidy, anti-dumping duty, and custom free import and so on. All these factors have

considerable effect on the profitability of the companies and without political parties

help, companies will not be able to get these benefits. In the industry, all companies

have very good and stable relation with the political parties and therefore enjoy benefits

which they want to.

So, we can say that the impact of political parties is positive on this industry.

TRADE ISSUES TRADE ISSUES RELATED TO FERTILIZER INDUSTRY:

1. Agreement is being made that the market forces will be allowed to work, in the

case of fertilizer imports.

2. To stop dumping in fertilizer industry the WTO regulation related to anti

dumping must be applied in the industry for the industry benefit.

P a g e 23 | 38

3. In case of import the fertilizer producing companies are exempted where as the

nonproducing private importers pay 5% of the value on the imported fertilizer

4. The introduction of General Sales Tax on fertilizers should be carefully considered since

it would have serious implications on price relations.

5. Market information and monitoring by the National Fertilizer Development Centre should

be strengthened to serve as a real information center for the fertilizer sector

HUMAN RESOURCE REQUIREMENTS HUMAN RESOURCE REQUIREMENT OF FERTILIZER INDUSTRY:

Hiring quality manpower, keeping them happy, satisfied and motivated are the pillars of

the Human Resources Department; justice, fair play and merit oriented treatment are

some of the ingredients of processing cases by the Human Resources Department. For

Human Resource development, another aspect which receives its due share is training.

The employees are exposed to various kinds of cross training, technical courses,

management courses, workshops and seminars both at home and abroad. Employees’

welfare has all along received due consideration by the Management

Handling cases relating to following subjects

Employment/appointment of non-management employees. Temporary /

contract /daily wages according to authorization.

Promotion of non-management employees

Pay and allowances of non-management employees.

Leaves (annual, causal, special, sick) are managed for all employees.

Transfer claims of all employees.

SWOT ANALYSIS:

STRENGTHS: The players operating in this sector are financially strong and they can start

production of new product line. Adding some new unit can enhance the

production capacity of the plants.

All the fertilizer plants are producing at more than 100 per cent installed

capacity of utilization.

Demand is heavy because, being an agriculture country and due to increasing

awareness about the balanced use of fertilizer, demand for the fertilizer will

increase.

Industry has well distribution centers.

Fertilizer industry peruses an innovative education oriented advertising policy

utilizing electronic/ print media and road side advertisement.

All companies in the industry have developed a well planned network field

warehouses to ensure that fertilizers are available to the farmers uninterrupted.

P a g e 24 | 38

WEAKNESSES: Due to the existence of black market and heavy demand, farmers have to pay

above then the stated price.

Demand is more and capacity of plants to produce fertilizers is less.

Fertilizer sector is backward in technology and also lack in resources.

Low advertising campaigns as growers and farmers are not educated and lives in

villages, so they don’t exactly know the balanced use of fertilizer.

OPPORTUNITIES: If the quality is good customer will buy your product. By improving the quality of

products, industry can attract more customers and can retain customers by

satisfying their needs.

There is no quota restriction by WTO since 2005, so there are more chances of

export.

Availability of gas from Iran can increase the production of plants and industry

can fulfill the demands.

Government is giving support to fertilizer sector.

As demand is high comparing to supply, fertilizer sector has an opportunity to

expand the capacity to fulfill the local demand.

As Pakistan is an agricultural country and farmers are getting awareness about

the balanced use of fertilizer, demand of fertilizer has increased.

THREATS: As natural gas is the main raw material, load shedding of natural gas is big threat.

Imported fertilizer is available at cheap prices than local fertilizer.

Unstable political condition in the country is also a big threat to fertilizer

industry.

Prices of fuel and gas have increased enormously.

Global prices of fertilizer products are also increasing which is causing increase

in fertilizer prices in the country.

Bio fertilizer is the main threat to the industry because it is cheap and also

environment friendly.

Government policies are not consistent regarding fertilizer industry.

Recommendation:

But unfortunately, due to different reasons, due attention was not paid to this program.

However, the following suggestion would be fruitful in promoting the balance use and

proper management of fertilizers and increasing crop yields and soil fertility.

Setting up a united network of agricultural extension on fertilizers with

the participation of research institutes, agricultural universities, scientific

P a g e 25 | 38

associations and non-governmental organizations, fertilizer producing

and trading companies.

Surveying the current status of fertilizer use of farmers in all key

agricultural areas in the whole country. The surveyed data will be

processed to find out the advantages and shortcoming in fertilizer use for

some main crops.

Surveying the current status and capacity of fertilizer supply and service

of governmental organizations, collective and private organizations,

evaluating the supply capacity and requirement of each fertilizer kind at

localities according to short- term and medium -term plants.

Setting up the network of stable and long-term field experiment on some

soil types for some crops in all agro-ecological zones in the whole country

in order to exactly assess the nutrient supplying capacity of soils, factors

limiting the fertilizer use efficiency (soils, climate and weather,

management level, intellectual standard of the people…), direct and

residual efficiency of main fertilizer to serve as a basis for establishing the

formulae of reasonable fertilization.

Setting up a network of field experiments to assess the environmental

impacts of fertilizers, especially the impacts of fertilizers on soil fertility

and agricultural product quality, besides, through this research system

identifying the relationship between fertilizers and IPM.

Organizing the training courses to provide the local extension workers

with new knowledge and update new knowledge for them.

Organizing the training for farmers on the role of each nutrient,

symptoms of nutrient shortage and method of reasonable and efficient

fertilizer through the farmer’s field schools using the most simple and

effective methods.

Organizing the information and propaganda on fertilizer use guides as

well as introduction of new fertilizer through mass-media.

Printing the fertilizer use guides. In the short term, apart from specific

information, a new issue of agricultural extension on fertilizers can be

carried out at the periodical of Pakistan Soil Science Society or the

periodical of Department of Agriculture extension.

Working out the regulations on fertilizer quality control aiming at

preparing the fertilizer legislation.

Carrying out the activities of cooperation on agricultural extension on

fertilizers with in-country and foreign organizations as well as testing the

efficiency of new fertilizers manufactured by in-country as well as foreign

companies.

Establishing the technical support fund to help the enthusiastic farmers

having difficulties to form the key farmer class at the grassroots units.

P a g e 26 | 38

Developing the long-term human resource development program to

improve qualifications of researchers and extension workers to PhD level

and also provide for short-term trainings to equip them with knowledge

and skills in important areas. Besides, career structure and incentive

framework may be introduced to reward quality research and extension

work.

Limitations: There are several important limitations to sustainable agriculture and causing low productivity.

They include soil degradation (soil salinity, alkalinity, erosion and soil fertility depletion),

depletion of water resources, mismanagement of irrigation systems, the distribution of the land

holdings and poor farming practices.

The use of farm inputs, particularly of fertilizers, is inadequate and inefficient.

Farm energy use is low. The availability of quality seed is limited.

Agricultural research is lagging behind the new challenges.

Agricultural extension services are not tuned to modern technology.

The flow of information from research to farmers is inadequate.

Coordination between policy, research, extension and farmers could be

improved.

Disbursement of agricultural credit amounts to over Rs.50 billion per annum, but

is less than the requirements and is not reaching small farmers.

An inadequate marketing infrastructure results in high marketing costs and

losses.

The fertilizer recommendations are too general.

Soil testing laboratories are not adequately equipped in terms of manpower and

equipment. As a result, the majority of the farmers become resource-poor and

cannot get benefit and therefore, our crop yields are one of the lowest in the

world.

Declining land productivity with reduced crop yields has been also a major

problem facing our farmers. The major factors contributing to the reduced land

productivity is soil scarcity caused by continuous cropping without addition of

adequate mineral fertilizers and manures.

Negative soil nutrient balances (nutrient removal exceeding nutrient

application) during our cropping history have resulted in general decline of

fertility levels.

There are several problems which are slow down the balance and efficient use of

fertilizers.

These are commonly non-availability of specific fertilizers at right time, rising

prices.

Improper application methods and time, lack of knowledge among farmers

about the need for balanced fertilizer applications, adulteration.

P a g e 27 | 38

Inadequate grant of soft loans especially for the small farmers, constituting 75

per cent of our farming community.

The increase of fertilizer use efficiency is also related to ensuring the fertilizer

quality. At present, apart from some macro fertilizers produced industrially,

there are several mixed macro and micronutrient fertilizers, foliar fertilizers,

plant growth stimulants which are not controlled by the government. They are

circulated with of fertilizer arbitration organizations.

Therefore the farmers are always suffering from losses once having bought the

adulterated or low-quality fertilizers, and the legitimate fertilizer producers and

traders suffer from losses and risks.

Interpretation: During the year 2013, the company recorded sales of Rs 50129 million as compared to

Rs 30627 million in 2012, depicting an increase in sales over recent year. This increase

in sales is attributed to the fact that in order to meet the growing demand of feed for the

growing population, Engro was operating its business at full capacity. The aggregate

utilization of all three plants of the Company during 2013 was 100%. The additional

production compared to recent year was mainly due to De-Bottle Necking (DBN) of

Plant III commissioned in early 2013. The rise in sales volume and turnover of the

Company in 2013 more than offset the 55% increase in cost of sales, mainly due to

increase in gas prices. Consequently, the gross profit increase of 44% in the recent year

2013, and the gross profit margin and net profit margin showed a Year-on-Year growth

of 10.9% and 9.5%, respectively.

Company in 2012 more than offset the 53% increase in cost of sales, mainly due to

increase in gas prices. Consequently, the gross profit of FFC registered an decrease of

46.364% in the recent year 2013, and the gross profit margin and net profit margin

showed a Year-on-Year growth of 27% and 28%, respectively.

Interpretation During the year 2012, the company recorded sales of Rs 4602 million as

compared to Rs 4840 million in 2013, depicting an increase in sales over recent

year. This increase in sales is attributed to the fact that in order to meet the

growing demand of feed for the growing population, Dawood hurcules was

operating its business at full capacity. The aggregate utilization of all three plants

of the Company during 2012 was 100%. The additional production compared to

recent year was mainly due to De-Bottle Necking (DBN) of Plant III commissioned

in early 2012. The rise in sales volume and turnover of the Company in 2012

more than offset the 82% increase in cost of sales, mainly due to increase in gas

prices. Consequently, the gross profit of Dawood hurcules registered a decrease

of 16% in the recent year 2013, and the gross profit margin and net profit margin

showed a Year-on-Year growth of 21% and 74%, respectively.

Fertilizer industry:

Conclusion: The fertilizer industry in Pakistan is of an oligopolistic nature, with the four major

players namely Engro, FFC, FFBL and Dawood Hercules, who form 90% of the total urea

production in Pakistan. FFC has the highest share of urea production (45%), Engro

(20%), FFBL (13%) and Dawood Hercules (11%).

Fauji Fertilizer Company remains the market leader in Fertilizer Industry and still

remains strong in domestic market. About 44% shares in FFC are owned by Fauji

Foundation group. Fauji Fertilizer Company has its monopoly in the province of Punjab,

the hub of agricultural activities. FFC also holds 51% stake in Fauji Fertilizer Bin Qasim

and 12.5% in Pak Maroc Phosphore. FFC has also filed a pre-merger application for 75-

79 per cent shares of Agritech Limited. FFC has also diversified its operation by taking

up wind projects in Thatta/Sindh. FFC is one of the most stable companies with strong

cash flows, stable earnings, consistent dividend payouts and low leverage. FFC is likely

to remain stable benefitting from government subsidies, strong urea growth, domestic

market advantage and high prices gap between domestic and international markets.

The recent gas curtailment will also benefit FFC since it gets gas from Mari Gas network

while other major fertilizer companies are based on the SNGPL network which is

increased span of gas curtailment.

FFC is likely to continue its steady growth along the lines of agriculture growth trends.

Its likely acquisition of Agritech and expansion in wind energy might create synergy

benefits as well. The acquisition of Agritech will require debt raising along with cuts in

dividend payouts, however strong domestic demand for urea along with current low

capex business can reap higher dividends in subsequent years.
