Farm Advisory Services

Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited has been providing Agricultural Advisory Services to the farming community throughout Pakistan since 1981, for increasing the agriculture production in general and the farmers’ economic returns in particular. Our organization in pursuit of its national commitment and moral obligation maintains regular contact with farmers and Agricultural Institutions to ensure constant and efficient transfer of latest technology.

The company is providing quality farm advisory services all over the country through its 5 Farm Advisory Centers and 14 Regional Agri Services Officers. Farm Advisory Centers are located at Mandi Bahauddin, Shahkot, Bahawalnagar, Muzaffargarh and Hala. Each centre has a team of five Agricultural Experts, providing multifarious advisory services through crop demonstrations, field days, farmer meetings, village meetings, crop seminars, farm visits and group discussions. All the centers are fully equipped with modern sophisticated computerized Soil & Water Testing Laboratories and high-tech extension equipment. Moreover, FFC has also established a micronutrient and plant tissue analysis laboratory at Farm Advisory Centre, Shahkot having Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and other analytical instruments. Soil Testing is a valuable tool to propagate appropriate and balanced use of chemical fertilizers and to identify soil problems. Soil/water samples are collected from farmers’ fields and analyzed in the laboratories. Fertilizer recommendations are developed on the basis of soil analysis and recommendation reports are delivered to the growers for proper and balanced fertilizer use. The soil/water testing and micronutrient analysis facility is offered free of cost. Besides these five farm advisory centers, we have 14 Agri Services Officers based at 14 Regional Offices of FFC spread all over the country extending these services in their respective areas.

To further strengthen our advisory services and facilitate our farmers, we also publish crop, vegetable, orchard brochures, agro-grams, posters and pamphlets containing latest information regarding production technologies of crops, and orchards grown in Pakistan. For a stronger direct link and timely guidance of farmers, we publish a quarterly Urdu and Sindhi Newsletter “Zari Report” containing season specific information regarding crops, fruits, vegetables, improved agronomic practices and articles on agricultural issues. Following is the list of crop brochures available with us:

These brochures and Zari Report are also available in the Kashtkar Desk of our websitewww.ffc.com.pk

To improve the fertilizer use efficiency and to obtain optimum crop yields, a “Fertilizer Guide Book” and “Fertilizer Recommendation Book” has also been published containing comprehensive information on various fertilizers available in Pakistan, their application methods and their economic use.

FFC has also adopted the pragmatic approach of telecasting crop documentaries on PTV before the onset of sowing season of major crops. In these documentaries all the components of crop production are covered with sufficient elaboration. Cotton, wheat, sugarcane and rice documentaries can be viewed in the Kashtkar Desk of our website www.ffc.com.pk

We encourage our farmers to get registered on our mailing list by sending a request in writing or through e-mail at the following addresses to receive copies of our published material free of cost.
