EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
For the fulfillment of BBA Program every student has to do internship in an organization and prepare a report on internship. As a BBA student, I have done my internship at ACI Limited, ACI Center, 245, Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dhaka-1208, Bangladesh. I have also prepared an internship report on Marketing Plan of Sulphur 90% for 2012. Agriculture is the driving force of the Bangladesh economy. It is the dominant economic activity of the country. Many of us think it as the life-blood of the rural economy of Bangladesh. Fertilizer is considered one of the main inputs for increasing crop yields and farm profit. The decreasing land and need for more production have created great importance of fertilizer in the agriculture production. Without using fertilizer the agriculture production can not be increased as we need. In considering this the ACI Fertilizer is working with their best efforts to provide the necessary fertilizer to the farmers of Bangladesh. It provides around 16 types of fertilizer for the higher production of agriculture in Bangladesh. The contribution of ACI Fertilizer to the agriculture sector is great. It introduces and markets existing and new product in the fertilizer market. The Sulphur 90% is one of the important products of ACI Fertilizer. As Bangladesh is agriculture based country and has huge population, it needs more production to feed those populations. These make the fertilizer market intense competitive and there are many environmental forces like economic, political, legal & regulatory, technological and societal which affect greatly to fertilizer market. By focusing on commitment to enrich the quality of life of people through responsible application of knowledge, skills and technology, ACI Fertilizer has effectively implemented a niche differentiation strategy in a somewhat diverse marketplace. Its ability to differentiate its product has contributed to superior annual returns. It has focused to those farmers initially who are habituated to use quality full and easy use Sulphur in their land and seeking more benefited & updated product. At present ACI Fertilizer has 70% market share in Sulphur 90% and the objectives is to capture 80% market share with its brand image, quality product, more customer oriented and more promotional policies. Sulphur 90% is very much appropriate to meet the demand of Sulphur needs in plants. It provides immediate solutions for plant nutrition. It is very easy to handle and use. The product has a high potentiality in Bangladesh. So ACI has a great opportunity to do the business of the product.
