INTRODUCTION
The Indian fertilizer industry has been supplying a substantial portion of the growing demand of fertilizers within the country. India is the third largest producer of fertilizers in the world. There are 60 large size fertilizer plants in the country, manufacturing a wide range of nitrogenous, phosphates and complex fertilizers. Besides, there are 81 medium and small scale single superphosphate units. The cooperative sector has come to play a significant role in the Indian fertilizer industry. In terms of nutrients, the share of cooperative sector in the installed capacity is 19.7 % for nitrogen and 10.2 %for phosphate. Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited (IFFCO), a Multi-unit Co-operative Society established on November 3, 1967 accounts for 64% of the installed capacity of Nitrogen and the total of the Phosphate capacity in the cooperative sector. In the last 41 years IFFCO has emerged as the pioneer venture in the cooperative sector. It has witnessed a meteoric rise and has blossomed into the largest manufacturer and marketer of fertilizers in the country. The success of IFFCO has encouraged the growth of the cooperative movement in INDIA. The following is an organizational structure study of Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative Limited with special analysis of the IFFCO Aonla plant.

GLOBAL INDUSTRY
The International Fertilizer Industry Association or IFA is a not-for-profit trade association that represents the global fertilizer industry, on issues related to the promotion of plant nutrients, improvement of the operating environment of the member companies and the collection and compilation of industry information.
IFA has some 540 members in about 85 countries. About half of the membership is based in developing countries. IFA member companies represent all activities related to the production, trade, transport and distribution of every type of fertilizer, their raw materials and intermediates.
The global fertilizer industry produces some 170 million tonnes of fertilizer nutrients annually. These are used in every corner of the globe to support agricultural production. There is no substitute for the nutrients absorbed by crops. As a major source of these, fertilizers therefore represent an essential ingredient in the drive towards sustainable agriculture and world food security.
IFA's membership also includes organizations involved in construction, engineering, consulting, agronomic research and training.

INDIAN INDUSTRY
Fertilizers have played a vital role in the success of Indias green revolution and consequent selfreliance in food grains production. The increase in fertilizer consumption has contributed significantly to sustainable production in food grains in the country. Fertilizer is generally defined as any material, organic or inorganic, one or more of the chemical elements required for plant growth India is the third largest fertilizer producer in the world. Fertilizer is a crucial input contributing to about 40 per cent of the productivity of the crop. With expanding agricultural production, improvement in technology and growing awareness among farmer, the consumption of agrochemicals has been on the upswing. The agrochemicals industry is made up of insecticides (74%), herbicides (20%) and fungicides (6%). India is one among the most dynamic generic pesticides manufacturing countries with a total market size of Rs 89 billion per annum. And yet, Indias own average consumption of pesticides is very low at 480gms per hectare which results in crops worth about Rs 120 billion being annually destroyed by pests. Crop protection has assumed special importance since food grains demand in the country is supposed to reach an estimated 343 million tonne by 2020. The agrochemical industry is spread over around 20 large manufacturers and 600 formulators. While the organized sector contributes 55% to the industrys output, the small scale sector makes up for the balance. The Indian industry has been focusing sharply on integrated crop management (ICM), increasing exports of genuine pesticides and concentrating on farmer friendly activities. The pesticide industry is targeting a 10% share of global pesticides market and has been working on the ICM programmed to introduce safer applications, spray devices and crop protection through balanced use of biological and chemical pesticide. The exports cover pesticide intermediates. Pesticides export from India was growing at the rate of 15% and is expected to witness a more accelerated growth. Spurious chemicals are growing at rates varying from 10% to 12% and have cornered a large chunk of the market.
Page 11
The generic pesticide players include Excel Industries, Cheminova India, United Phosphorus, Rallis India, Aimco Pesticides, Bharat Rasayan, Bayer (India), Aventis, Meghmain Organics etc. producing a range of products like urea, DAP,MOP, Nitrogenous fertilizer(N), Phosphatic fertilizer(P), Potassic fertilizer(K) and NPK etc. To conclude, fertilizer is a key ingredient in ensuring the food security of the country, as it increases the production and productivity of the soil. The domestic food grain production target has been set at 320 million tonns by 2011-2012. This target can be achieved by higher productivity through improved farming practices, expansion of irrigation, better seeds and extensive and balanced use of fertilizers. Towards this end, the government of India is now planning to raise the production of urea by the end of 11th Five Year Plan by taking concrete steps to boost production and productivity. All these things show the definite growth of fertilizer industry in India.

owned Public Sector undertakings, Cooperative Societies like IFFCO, KRIBHCO and units from Private sector. There are about 33 major producers producing N and NP/NPK fertilizers in the country at present. The fertilizer industry of India had made constructive use of the fertilizer provided by the Government of India to ensure that the country achieved reasonable selfsufficiency in food grain production. The fertilizer industry has organized itself through S Fertilizer Association of India (FAI) to coordinate with the Government of India to achieve the macro-economic objective related to agriculture sector and to provide other services.
During mid- sixties the co-operative sector in India was responsible for distribution of 70 per cent of fertilizers consumed in the country. This sector had adequate infrastructure to distribute fertilizers but had no production facilities of its own and hence dependent on public/private sectors for supplies. To overcome this lacuna and to bridge the demand-supply gap in the country, a new cooperative society was
conceived t o specifically cater to the requirements of farmers. Thus was born IFFCO, the worlds largest fertilizer cooperative.
It was a unique venture in which the farmers of the country through their own cooperative societies created this new institution to safeguard their interests.
Indian Farmers Fertilizer Cooperative limited, a multi -state Cooperative has emerged as a role model for cooperatives Over 44 years of its inception; IFFCO has turned into a true Cooperative Of the Farmers, By the Farmers and For the Farmers. IFFCO has steadily grown in strength and stature from a modest membership of 5 7 s o c i e t i e s i n 1 9 6 7 6 8 t o 3 9 5 6 4 s o c i e t i e s a s o n 3 1 St March,2011. The initial equity capital of Rs.6 lakh contributed by the cooperatives in 1967-68 has also gone up to a paid-up capital of Rs.426 crore. Indian Farmers Fertilizer Co-operative Limited (IFFCO) was registered on November 3, 1967 as a Multi -unit Co-operative Society. On the enactment of
Page 15
the Multistate Cooperative Societies Act 1984 which was amended in 2002, the Society is deemed to be registered as a Multi state Cooperative Society. The Society is primarily engaged in production and distribution of fertilizers. The bye laws of the Society provide a broad framework for the activities of IFFCO as a Cooperative Society. A pioneer in this field, IFFCOs growth reflects its belief in the strength of the farmer. Several prestigious awards stand testimony to the fact that IFFCO is driven by its values and the dedication of its people. This is an organization that believes in fair play and has always followed transparent and professional practices in corporate governance.

INTRODUCTION
Any operating organization should have its own structure in order to operate efficiently. For an organization, the organizational structure is a hierarchy of people and its functions. The organizational structure of an organization tells you the character of an organization and the values it believes in. Therefore, when you do business with an organization or getting into a new job in an organization, it is always a great idea to get to know and understand their organizational structure. Depending on the organizational values and the nature of the business, organizations tend to adopt one of the following structures for management purposes. Although the organization follows a particular structure, there can be departments and teams following some other organizational structure in exceptional cases. Sometimes, some organizations may follow a combination of the following organizational structures as well.
BUREAUCRATIC STRUCTURES
Bureaucratic structures maintain strict hierarchies when it comes to people management. There are three types of bureaucratic structures:
FUNCTIONAL STRUCTURE
The organization is divided into segments based on the functions when managing. This allows the organization to enhance the efficiencies of these functional groups.
Page 36
DIVISIONAL STRUCTURE
These types of organizations divide the functional areas of the organization to divisions. Each division is equipped with its own resources in order to function independently. There can be many bases to define divisions. Divisions can be defined based on the geographical basis, products / services basis, or any other measurement. MATRIX STRUCTURE When it comes to matrix structure, the organization places the employees based on the function and the product. The matrix structure gives the best of the both worlds of functional and divisional structures. In this type of an organization, the company uses teams to complete tasks. The teams are formed based on the functions. Every organization needs a structure in order to operate systematically. The organizational structures can be used by any organization if the structure fits into the nature and the maturity of the organization. .

Each zone has its own headquarter of each zone is as follows; Zone North zone East zone West zone North Central zone South zone Headquarter Chandigarh Kolkata Bhopal Lucknow Bangalore
Each headquarter has certain no. of neighboring states under it & the functioning of those states is controlled by the particular headquarter; each state has a State Office under each zone. Under each state office there is Area Office & under each Area office there are Service sectors.
The organization Structure of IFFCO consists of Board of Director. The government of India nominates two member of the board. The member of the members. A chairman is the cooperatives societies nominates rest of
member. There is also a vice chairman elected by the member of the Board of director. Once of the members of Board of directors is the Managing Director. The MD is the Executive Head since he is an appointed member. The MD is responsible for carrying out all the function of the organization.

PRODUCTION
The largest producer of fertilizers in the country, IFFCO has five state-of-the-art plants that ensure its special position. These are considered to be among the best professionally managed fertilizer plants in the world.
IFFCO had set up the KALOL plant for manufacture of Nitrogenous Fertilizer and KANDLA plant for manufacture of Phosphoric fertilizer. These plants commenced commercial production in the year 1974-75. Ammonia - urea complex was setup at Phulpur in the state of Uttar Pradesh in 1981.

The ammonia - urea unit at Aonla was commissioned in 1988. As part of the new vision and in order to augment its complex fertilizer manufacturing capacity, IFFCO
acquired DAP/NPK/NP plant in Paradeep, Orissa in September 2005. This was a historic moment, for it was the first private sector unit to be acquired by any Indian cooperative.
The Paradeep unit was expected to achieve an optimal production load during 2008-09. During 2007-08, IFFCOs plants rolled out 68.47 lake tonne of fertilizer material comprising 39.63 lake tone of urea and 28.84 lake tonne of NPK/ DAP / NP which
b e a r s a m p l e t e s t i m o n y t o i t s s u p e r l a t i v e p e r f o r m a n c e . IFFCO market share in N production is 20 percent and 25 percent in P2O5 Produced in the country. IFFCO has initiated energy saving schemes in all its five ammonia plants at a cost of Rs. 410 crore.

emphasis on agriculture development, creation of drinking water facilities, medical and veterinar y check up.
I F F C O h a s a d o p t e d 4 3 9 villages, thus empowering many lives. Another scheme that benefits the farmers is Sank at Haran Bima Yojana, launched by IFFCOs subsidiary, IFFCOTokio General Insurance Company Limited (ITGI). Here, farmers are provided insurance against accidents with the purchase of a 50 kilogram bag of IFFCO fertilizer. This reaches out to member cooperative societies. The policy has helped over 7,000 people since its inception in September 2001.
ITGI also offers customized policies for farmers such as Barish Bima Yojana, Mausam Bima Yojana and Janta Bima Yojana. IFFCO has initiated several promotional projects to provide greater opportunities to the farmer by organizing field days, farmers meetings, sales point personnel training, crop seminars, special agriculture campaigns to effect transfer of
m o d e r n f a r m i n g t r e n d s . Besides, kits containing seeds, fertilizers, bio-fertilizers and agrochemicals along with Booklets/ literature were distributed to farmers. The aim: enhancing crop productivity and thus improving lives. In keeping with its intent of empowering the weaker sections of society, including women, IFFCO presents monthly scholarships to deserving students and also organize straining programmed for women. The organization has instituted 17 IFFCO Chairs at agricultural universities and cooperatives. The emphasis is on current topics in

agriculture. IFFCO uses its 12 storage-cum-community Centers for helping people come together and share their experiences. The environment is a major concern with IFFCO. Its units and townships comprise beautiful landscapes, surrounded by trees. IFFCO is also committed to improving the safety, health and environment of its manufacturing units, in line with international norms. The Kalol, Phulpur, Aonla and Kandla units have been awarded the ISO- 14001 certificate for Environment Management System. Further, the Kalol, Phulpur and Aonla plants have received the ISO-9001 certification for Quality Management. IFFCO has contributed Rs 10 crore to set up the IFFCO Kisan Sewa Trust. This Trust assists farmers in getting medical treatment. Employees also contribute regularly to it. The Kisan Sewa Trust organizes cancer detection and eye camps and arranges for blood through the Red Cross Society. The IFFCO Foundation has been promoted as the think tank of the organization. Its objective is to focus on strengthening village level cooperatives in harmony with the law and culture of the country. Indian Farm Forestry Development Cooperative Limited (IFFDC), promoted by IFFCO, was given a certificate of appreciation by the Tata Energy Research Institute for its efforts towards good corporate citizenship.

SWOT analysis is a technique through which managers create a quit overview of a companys strategic situation. It is based on the assumption that an effective strategy derives from a sound fit between firms internal resources (strength & weakness) and its external situation (opportunities & threats). A good fit maximizes a firms strength and opportunities and minimizes its weakness and threats.
STRENGTH:-
1. Fertilizer is the basic raw material for agriculture production NO GOVT. can dare to make policies which are not conducive to the farmers. 2. Demand of fertilizer is more in the country than the production capacity therefore whatever is produced will be sold. 3. Government ensures the availability of raw material (NG/NAPHTHA) at reasonable price as it has at subsidy of fertilizer is subsidizing product. 4. IFFCO is a co-operative organization and selling its product through co-operative channel. There are only to organization IFFCO & KRIBCO. It means not much competition in the channel. 5. All plants are of latest technology of art and are in healthy condition.
WEAKNESS:-
1. As per by law of the company it can fallows the co-operative channel only for sale of its product. In case demand fall short in the channel company end up with higher stock inventory. 2. Price of the product cannot be raised and government pay the subsidies as per its calculation of fertilizers cost.
Page 59
OPPORTUNITY:-
1. IFFCO can cut on cost by reducing energy consumption for per MT of UREA, thereby enhancing its profitability. IFFCO has taken up energy saving product in all its five AMMONIA plants at the cost of Rs 410 corer. 2. IFFCO can also reduce its fixed cost per MT of UREA by enhancing its production capacity & thereby increase in production and profitability. IFFCO has taken up capacity enhancement project for all its Ammonia & Urea plants. 3. IFFC O also taken up power project at Chhattisgarh. 4. IFFCO has also contributed 25% Equity in OMAN India fertilizers company (OMIFCO). 5. IFFCO is also perusing a multiproduct KISSAN SEZ at NELLORE in A.P. 6. IFFCO has also entered into a long term of take and supply agreement with international holdings of AUSTRALIA for supplying rock phosphate to insure raw material supply NPK/DAP fertilizers plants.
THREATS:-
1. NG supply in the country is not sufficient to meet present country requirement. However NG in liquid form is imported from various gulf countries and rigidified at petro net in Gujrat to meet demand of fertilizers units. 2. If supplies of NG suffer due to an region. It will be reflected in production of IFFCO.
3. NAPHTHA is also imported Gulf countries. Its rates are not stable in the international market & it availability is also affected by its international demand. 4. Rock phosphate is also imported to produce NPK/DAP at IFFCOs Kandla & Paradeep unit. Supply of Rock phosphate is also a threat to the production NPK/DAP. It rate are not stable in the international market.
Page 60
ANALYSIS:With the finding of NG at KG basin of RIL most of requirement of fertilizers units will be meet for the countries on resources and dependability on the import will be reduce thereby ensuring the raw material supply to the fertilizer unit at reasonable price. Further IFFCO has made long term agreement for procurement of Rock phosphate with various countries to overcome. It major threats of raw materials for the production of NPK/DAP therefore it can be said that IFFCO is on sound footing to protect it stability and enhance it profitability by cutting on cost and increasing production in years to come.
STRATEGIES:1. IFFCO is doing its best to conserve energy & keeps it consumption at lowest label. 2. Enhance its production by enhancing the capacity of the existing plants & constructing new plant. 3. Reducing cost by low energy consumption & increasing production to enhance it profitability. 4. Ensure supply of raw material by entering into agreement nationally or international with the suppliers. 5. IFFCO also care for the community. This commitment is reflected in many ways on dayto-day bases. IFFCO believes in the welfare of society. It has embarked on much corporate social responsibility (CSR) project. These projects cover education community development environment & health.

FINDINGS
Majority of the farmers are using IFFCO product and rest are using other including Tata, Narmada & others.
Most of the farmers are selecting the fertilizers on brand basis and second major criteria to select the fertilizers are availability.
90% of the farmers desired for the plastic bag and only 10%for the jute bag 70% of farmers desire 50kg pack & rest 30% prefer 25kg pack.
In a village about 60% farmers meetings,15% Field Day,10% Socioeconomic &15% Other Promotional Programmed were organized by IFFCO.
I found that farmers are satisfied with the IFFCO fertilizers even in un adopted villages. There are a number of reasons to prefer the plastic bag: o Moisture control. o Reusable and strong.

This would infuse some of the positives of an organic design in to the organizational environment. This cell should lay new business ideas and innovations in front of the top levels of management. 3. Unnecessary sub-divisions in departments should be eliminated to promote efficiency. In the Personnel & Administration department one sub-division can handle both Legal Matters and Contract Laws. 4. The Inspections & Plant Health Department can be dissolved. The
Maintenance Department can have an additional sub-division for Inspections & Plant Health. This will streamline the organizational structure and also increase the efficiency of overall maintenance. 5. T h e C o - o p e r a t i o n s h o u l d n o t b e r i g i d i n i t s a p p r o a c h a n d s h o u l d b e r e a d y t o f a c e s u d d e n variations in business environments. Managers should not limit themselves to following regulations blindly but should proactively analyze situations.

CONCLUSION
The organizational study of the IFFCO Aonla Plant and also the analyses of IFFCO in general demonstrate that a bureaucratic organizational structure is not always inefficient. In fact if properly applied it has many positive aspects especially in large and complex organizations. For example some types of rules and regulations are required to avoid unpredictability and arbitrary action. Some sort of hierarchal arrangement is necessary to manage the large number of people in an organization. Therefore the key is to utilize the characters of a bureaucratic structure but not to over emphasize on them as those results in rigidity in the structure. In a bureaucratic organizational structure an efficient business environment may be created by having the right mix of mechanistic and organic models. IFFCO's experience has also shown that cooperative sector can succeed even in high investment high technology areas like fertilizer production. The large scale extension activities and cooperative development programmed have strengthened the bond between IFFCO and the Indian farmers who are the consumers as well as members of the village level cooperative societies. The confidence generated by this success has paved way for a vigorous growth programmed to expand its existing u n i t s a s w e l l a s e s t a b l i s h n e w u n i t s . T h i s w i l l e n a b l e IF F C O t o e m e r g e a s a g l o b a l l e a d e r i n production and marketing of chemical fertilizers located in a single country.
