INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION—FERTILIZER INDUSTRY:
Pakistan’s economy is agro-based; however our cultivable land is deficient in nutrient
contents. This deficiency can only be overcome through the balanced use of fertilizer.
Presently, there are ten manufacturing units in Pakistan. Out of these, four units are
located in the public sector and six are operating
in the private sector. The province-wise PRODUCT LINE OF
distribution of units confirms that 5 units are FERTILIZER IN PAKISTAN:
located in Punjab, 3 in Sindh and 2 in the NWFP. Nitrogen 46% (Urea)
. Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (26%
Fertilizer production is concentrated in Nitrogen) (CAN)
nitrogenous fertilizers, which comprises 85% of Nitrophas (23% Nitrogen and 23%
Phosphorus) (NP)
all fertilizers produced in the country. Although
Single Super Phosphate, (18%
other types of fertilizers are also produced in Phosphorus) (SSP)
Pakistan, the bulk of whose demand is imported. Di-Ammonium Phosphate (18%
The main reason for this concentration on Nitrogen and 46% Phosphorus) (DAP)
nitrogenous fertilizers is that its main raw Sulphate of Potash (SOP) - (Potash
material i.e. natural gas is cheaply available in the fertilizer)
country. The raw material for other fertilizers NPK in different ratios - (Mixed
such as potassium and phosphate has to be fertilizer)
imported.

The local fertilizer companies meet almost 80% of Pakistan’s Fertilizer requirement. The
total installed capacity is over 5,124 million tones /annum. It mainly comprises of 4,180
million tonnes for urea and remaining for NP, DAP, CAN and SSP.

DEMAND ANALYSIS:
The economic boom in the country has brought about an impressive agricultural growth,
putting pressure on domestic suppliers of fertilizers with demand outstripping supply,
whereas local producers scramble to maximize their production to meet the rising
demand.

Fertilizer demand likely to raise by 5 percent in Pakistan this trend in fertilizer demand
push to the increased availability of cultivation area and farm loans besides the income of
the peasants. Despite rise in demand, local production of fertilizers was expected to
remain raging between 4.7-5.2 million tons, which might spur the import of 1 million
tons of fertilizers in the next fiscal year for meeting the shortfall.

- Market
The industry carried 292 thousand tonnes of DAP at the beginning of the year. 846
thousand tonnes were imported during 2006 while 450 thousand tonnes, at almost last
year’s level, were supplied by FFBL. DAP market during the year was recorded at 1,517
thousand tonnes, comprising imported stock and indigenous production, which improved
by 11% over last year’s sales of 1,367 thousand tonnes.

FUTURE OUTLOOK:
The future outlook of the fertilizer sector is very strong because of supportive
government policies, favorable climatic conditions and gas pricing. The Economic
Coordination Committee (ECC) has directed Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited
(SNGPL) to market an additional 100 million cubic feet a day (mmcfd) of natural gas
from the Qadirpur gas field, close to both Engro and the FFC.

Short term outlook appears encouraging with significant projections for strong demand
for our fertilizers. In the long term, the Company is committed to achieve sustained levels
of operations at demonstrated operating efficiencies through focus on their fundamental
strengths.

Customs duty of 5% was withdrawn from imported urea. A similar withdrawal was done
on imported DAP fertilizer last year this will not affect local manufacturers The medium
to long term projected demand supply gap situation together with commissioning of their
BMR projects with enhanced urea production capacities would further consolidate their
market presence and allow improved returns to the Company and its stakeholders.

delivered 809 thousand tonnes operating at 116%of design while Plant II produced 761
thousand tonnes of urea at 120% of designed capacity.
BMR of Plant I and II at Goth Machi was being prepared. Unit 1 at Goth Machi was
contributing 37 per cent and Unit II was making 32 per cent contribution to the total
capacity. Energy revamp project at Plant-I was successfully and safely implemented
during Turnaround 2006 resulting in energy conservation estimated at over Rs 50 million
per annum. Plant II Debottlenecking study report on aMDEA section has been finalized
with licensor, BASF, for 115% and 120% plant load and contract is under review
especially for performance guarantees & liabilities.

Plant III (Mirpur Mathelo):


Highest ever daily urea production of 2.2 thousand tones was achieved in January 2006
through technical excellence, dedication and coordinated team work. Total output by the
plant was recorded at 726 thousand tonnes, the highest ever, which represented 126% of
design and improved by 2 % over last year’s production.

Basic Engineering Design Package of Plant III Debottlenecking project has been
approved in consultation with the licensor M/s Snamprogetti, Italy. Work on detailed
engineering and ordering of equipment/ material is in progress to improve plant
profitability through capacity enhancement and reliability improvement.

FFC CAPACITY EXPANSION PROJECT:

Fertiliser companies are pursuing plans to expand capacity in order to benefit from higher
urea demand. FFC is currently conducting de-bottlenecking of its existing plant III
(situated at Mirpur Mathelo), which, analyst estimate would add between 60,000 to
75,000 tons to its total urea capacity. Analysts’ reports suggest that the exercise would be
completed by the end of 2007.

Unit 3 Mirpur Mathelo contributes 574,000 tons, representing 30 per cent to the capacity.
Estimated cost of the project amounts to somewhere around Rs2bn. With the completion
of this expansion, total capacity of the company would increase to 1,964,000 tons.
