HISTORY

Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) was registered on November 3, 1967 as a Multi-unit Co-operative Society.

During the 1960s the cooperative sector in India was responsible for the distribution of 70 per cent of the fertilizers consumed in the country.

To overcome this difficulty and to bridge the demand supply gap in the country, a new cooperative society was conceived to specifically cater to the needs of farmers.

The Society is primarily engaged in the production and distribution of fertilizers
