IFFCO begins commercial production of nano DAP liquid plant in UP's Aonla and Phulpur
New Delhi [India], May 13 (ANI): Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO) on Tuesday commenced commercial production of Nano DAP Liquid at its two additional nano plants in Aonla, in Bareilly district, and Phulpur, in Prayagraj district, both located in Uttar Pradesh.
According to IFFCO, each plant has a daily production capacity of 2 lakh bottles per day.
The enhanced production will significantly increase the availability of nano DAP liquid across the country, benefiting farmers nationwide.
With these two new plants, IFFCO's total capacity for Nano Fertilisers (both Nano Urea and Nano DAP) now stands at 9.5 lakh bottles per day across its five plants.
The increased production and availability of Nano DAP Liquid are expected to positively impact agricultural productivity and sustainability, supporting India's farming community.
Nano DAP Liquid is a liquid fertiliser containing nitrogen and phosphorus in a nano-sized particle form. It's a significant approach to agriculture, offering benefits like increased nutrient absorption and efficiency, potentially boosting crop yields.
The nano urea is a revolution in the agriculture sector, as it has the potential to reduce storage space and money while improving crop yield. A 500 millilitre bottle of IFFCO Nano Urea Liquid can replace at least one bag of conventional Urea.
The Nano Urea Liquid is indigenously developed after many years of dedicated and sincere research by IFFCO's Scientists and Engineers.
Complaints have been made about the excessive use of urea to increase crop yields, which has been destroying the fertility of agricultural land for a long time. To address this concern, IFFCO has not only prepared nano fertiliser liquid but also patented it.
IFFCO management claims that nano fertiliser will increase the fertility of the land and production.
It is worth noting that nano urea is not only environmentally friendly but also more profitable than urea. The crop gets 30 per cent profit from urea, while the crop gets 80 per cent profit from nano urea (nano manure). Apart from this, the cost of nano urea is also less than that of urea. Drones can also be used to spray nano fertilisers.
In February, US Awasthi, Managing Director and CEO of Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd (IFFCO), said that IFFCO nano urea, nano DAP, and Sagarika are producing great results on American farms.
In a post on X, he said that California farmers who have used IFFCO nano fertilisers have seen commendable results in increased yield and quality of Pistachios.
IFFCO has consistently innovated to improve fertilisers and has been ranked the number one cooperative among 300 cooperatives in the world.
The IFFCO also climbed to 72nd place in the overall turnover ranking from 97th place in the financial year 2023-24.
The cooperative society and its 35,500 member cooperative societies, 25,000 PACS, and 52,400 PMKSK centres are progressing towards Atmanirbhar Bharat and Atmanirbhar Krishi. (ANI)

The company is introducing its Costan and IARP brands to India, offering comprehensive refrigeration solutions for the retail, food and beverage, and hospitality sectors. Minister Goyal highlighted the strategic importance of this partnership and posted, 'Pleasure to meet Marco Nocivelli, CEO of EPTA Group, a specialist in commercial refrigeration. With India's rapidly expanding retail and cold chain sectors, we discussed how the company could seize the opportunity and contribute toward sustainable refrigeration solutions in India.' Michele Poggipolini, CEO of Poggipolini S.p.A., an engineering and manufacturing technology company specialising in aerospace and defence, described his meeting with Minister Goyal as highly productive. 'It was a very good meeting. It was a big pleasure for me, especially because now we are entering the Indian market,' Poggipolini stated. The company plans to establish strategic partnerships in India to transfer expertise and technology to strengthen the domestic supply chain.

Minister Goyal acknowledged the meeting's significance, describing SOL Group as 'an Italian multinational leader in the area of production, applied research, and marketing of technical and medical gases' and noting discussions about how the group can 'further expand its presence in India across key sectors.' These meetings underscore the growing economic partnership between Italy and India, with Italian companies recognising India's potential as both a manufacturing hub and a significant consumer market. The commitments span critical sectors, including cold chain infrastructure, aerospace and defence manufacturing, and industrial gases, which are all areas where India is seeking to strengthen its domestic capabilities and supply chains. The investment pledges come as India positions itself as a key player in global supply chains, offering attractive opportunities for international companies seeking to diversify their operations and tap into one of the world's fastest-growing major economies. With formal announcements and detailed investment plans expected in the coming months, these partnerships represent a significant step forward in Italy-India economic cooperation, potentially creating jobs and bringing advanced technology to Indian markets while offering Italian companies access to India's vast consumer base and skilled workforce.
