(Word Count: - 867 )

1. Project Objectives And Overall Research Approach:
The objectives of this project are to evaluate the operational performance of the Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited over the three years. This includes both financial and non-financial performance.

1. Reasons for choosing the topic:
The reason why I have chosen the topic is that as I am a student of ACCA with some background of financial evaluation like Ratio Analysis and this is my prime objective to gain some expertise in this field. The subjects which I like the best in ACCA are the Financial Reporting and Business Analysis and now I am studying these two subjects for December, 2008 exam and this will help me out my preparation for exam also. This kind of research always helps the student to evaluate the Organization Performance and a good tool also for decision making especially for an investment decision. That’s why I have chosen this topic.

2. Reason for choosing the Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited.

Agriculture Sector being the backbone of the country depends upon fertilizer producing companies. The effect of global food demand and supply is major concern for every nation. The world population is increasing day by day and Agriculture Sector is the one which is responsible to meet the increasing demand of food for the population. Agriculture sector is heavily supported by the Fertilizer sector through the production of fertilizer and DAP (Di-Ammonium Phosphate) which are the sources through which the production capacity of agriculture sector can be enhanced.

The reason why I have selected the FFCL for research and analysis is that because FFCL is the largest fertilizer producer of Pakistan. It is a well established Organization in the country and occupies the position in top 25 Listed Companies of the country (FFCL Annual Report 2007)[i]. It was incorporated in 1978 as a Private Limited Company. This was a joint venture between Fauji

    The increase in output and productivity of agriculture could only be achieved by division of work and specialization. Today only part of the production process takes place on the farm, while, in addition, agriculture uses industrial products like fertilizer, pesticides, machinery and equipment, the services of the tertiary sector like banking, insurance etc. and hands its products over to other sectors for packing, processing, or distribution. Today, agriculture is deeply interwoven with other sectors of the economy. It cannot produce anymore without their inputs and services, and acts itself as a customer to these other sectors, thus providing work and income outside of agriculture.…

    Economy of every state depends on three sectors i.e. agriculture, industry and commerce. These three are interrelated with each other as the progress or retrogress of one sector effects the other two. Pakistan is an agricultural state thus agriculture gains are of much importance than any other sector. Importance of this sector is manifold as it feeds people, provides raw material for industry and is a base for foreign trade. Pakistan's principal natural resources are arable land and water. About 25% of Pakistan's total land area is under cultivation and is watered by one of the largest irrigation systems in the world. Pakistan irrigates three times more acres than Russia. Agriculture accounts for about 21.2% of GDP and employs about 43% of the labor force. In Pakistan, the most agricultural province is Punjab where wheat and cotton are the most grown. Some people also have mango orchards but due to some problems like weather, they're not found in a big range. Foreign exchange earned from merchandise exports is 45% of total exports of Pakistan. It contributes 26% of GDP and 52% of the total populace is getting its livelihood from it. 67.5% people are living in the rural Ares of Pakistan and are directly involved in it. There are two crops in Pakistan i.e. Rabi & Kharif. Major crops of Pakistan are wheat, rice, maize, cotton and sugar cane. These major crops contributed 7.7% last year against the set target of 4.5%. Minor crops are canola, onions, mangoes and pulses which contributed 3.6% as there was no virus attack last year. Fishery and Forestry contributes 16.6% and 8.8% respectively.…
