IFFCO is a major Indian fertilizer cooperative combining production, distribution and farmer services through its member organisations.
India · Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited cooperative
Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited, known as IFFCO, manufactures and markets fertilizers and develops farm supply infrastructure in India. Its range includes nitrogen, phosphate and compound fertilizers, water-soluble products, micronutrients, biological inputs and the nano lines Nano Urea and Nano DAP. Subsidiaries and partnerships support the wider business, including the retail arm IFFCO eBazar, while international sourcing relationships complement its domestic production and distribution.
The cooperative model shapes how products reach farms. Manufacturing is tied to distribution and agricultural services through a network of more than 36,000 cooperatives, so the organisation that makes the fertilizer, the local seller a farmer deals with and a separate service subsidiary can be different parts of the same system. This structure gives IFFCO a reach across India that is measured in cooperatives as much as in plants or sales value.
Size of the business
IFFCO reports turnover of INR 454.68 billion in FY2025/26, equivalent to INR 45,468 crore (one crore is 10 million). Sales of fertilizers and related products reached 12.002 million tonnes in the same year.
Is IFFCO the Indian fertilizer cooperative?
Yes. IFFCO stands for Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Limited. Other organisations with similar abbreviations are separate entities.
Are Nano Urea and granular urea identical?
No. They differ in formulation and application, and any comparison rests on the composition and usage information of each particular product.
