STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF INDIAN FERTILISER
INDUSTRY
Course: Agri-Input MarketingPGDM(2011-2013)Indian Institute of Plantation Management, Bangalore.
FERTILIZERS• India is the third largest producer and consumer of
fertilizer in the world.
• Indian fertilizer industry started in 1906 with SSP production facility at Ranipet near Chennai.
• Started operating in a big scale since 1940s, when the
Fertilizer & Chemicals Travancore of India Ltd. and the Fertilizers Corporation of India were set up in Kerala and Bihar
• The private sector produced 44.73 % of nitrogenous fertilizers and 62.08 % of phosphatic fertilizers in 2006-07.
• Total production of fertilizers in india-206.5mt .
• The production of urea in India has reached near self-sufficiency. The requirement of the nitrogenous fertilizers is met through the indigenous industry
• In the case of phosphatic fertilizers, the raw materials and intermediates are imported in large scale.
• The requirement of potash (K) is met entirely through imports. No fertilizer unit of India has any reserve of potash.

THREAT OF NEW ENTRANTS:- LOW
Entry barriers are high
1. Supply side economies of scale- Present fertilizer industries both public and private sector enjoy the benefit of scale economies of scale. The cost per unit is low. 2. Demand side benefits of scale-the buyers i.e. farmers are having faith on the fertilizers they are using. They communicate to each other the results of fertilizers. Hence always has tendency to buy what others are buying. Hence for new entrant it is difficult to break this attachment. 3. Customer switching costs- It is high. When farmers are using any fertilizer, they are well known about the results, also for that fertilizers they have tie up with the o-operative societies, they can get it on credit basis also.
