Marketing management
arketing management is a business discipli ne which is focused on the
practical application of marketing techniques and the management of
a firm's marketing resources and activities.
Marketing Mix
Marketing Mix is a combination of marketing tools that a company uses to
satisfy their target customers and achieving organizational goals. McCarthy
classified all these marketing tools under four broad categories:
Product
Price
Place
Promotion
















M


The important thing to note is that al l these FFCL P s (variable) are
controllable, subject to internal and external constraints of marketing
environment. Marketers, using different blends of these variables, can target
different group of customers having different needs. So, a customer may
call marketing mix the offering.
Marketing strategy
Marketing strategy comprise of segmentation, targeting, differentiation and
positioning. Here we will di scuss how Fati ma fertilizer company segmented the
fertilizer, target the customer how it differentiate its products from competitor
s what steps it take to engrained its product in consumer mind. In this present
era, it is very important to do so because if competitors are very much and to
compete with them we do not differentiate our product from them. We will be
in loss and we have to cut down our pri ces so to avoid this situation we have to
differentiate our product.
And we cannot target all consumers at the one time because we have limited
resources to do our business, so to avoid this situation we do segmentation and
find the way to make profit more and more after adapting the most beneficial
segment and targeting them. All these segmentation, targeting and investing
will be useless if we dont have good image in the mind of people and good
profitable relationship. So marketing says that first of all finds all needs and
wants of people and then became them habitual. A well known sentence we
admit that you know the world but the world know you so this is on us that
how we create our image and what kind of image. Image that will last forever
and will perish in a few years. Lets rolling the ball to elaborate the terms used
above paragraph.



Segmentation
So the first thing which is discussed above is segmentation strategy to attract
the customer. According to it a market is divided into small groups with distinct
needs, characteri stics and behavior that might require separate marketing
strategies or mixes (mix mean promotion mix, product mix and marketing mix).
Like the other fertil izer organizations, Fatima fertilizer has also divided its
product on the basis of geography.
Because fertilizer is such company whi ch cannot be segmented on the basis of
demography, psychograph or behavioral basis Fatima Fertilizer Company limited
has divided market into different geographical unit such as Punjab, Sindh,
Khyber Pukhtunkhawa and Balochistan. It has subdivided it into the Punjab and
sindh into upper and lower sindh, southern region mainly Bahawalpur, Graham
yard khan and D.G Khan. Multan is their main focus. Besides southern region in
northern belt Lahore, Faisalabad, and sahiwal are its major points as well in
sindh. They have segmented the province on the basis of agriculture and
industrial region. Haiderabad, sukhar, khair pur and Faisalabad are their
product centre point. Therefore these two geographic units are always under
their consideration.
Targeting
After dividing the market in various segments, it is not possible for organization
to satisfy the needs and wants of all customers in those particular units due to
restricted and insuffi cient resources. Company must target a set of buyers
sharing common needs and characteristi cs. The process by which organization
evaluates each market segment, attractiveness and select one and more
segment to enter. Fatima Fertilizer Company after dividing market into units
target its customer it can better sati sfy. The target customer of Fatima Ferti lizer


Company is those who own lands 5 or 50 acres.95% of land owner fall in this
range.
It implies that Fatima Fertilizer Company has targeted 95% of Fertil izer
Company. Fertilizer i s such industry where customer does not have variety of
products to satisfy its needs. For example i f there is need of nitrogen for land, it
is not possible to use something else or product ingredient to fulfill nitrogen
need have soil. Therefore Fatima Fertilizer Company adopted undifferentiated
or mass marketing approach according to this market -coverage strategy, the
strategy the company go after the whole market with one offer. As we have
mention above there is no space in this industry where industry produces
different products for various geographi cal units to satisfy same needs. If the
farmer in Lahore need calcium to enrich the production and the farmer in
Bahawalpur also needs calcium to enhance the production. The company wil l
satisfy the demand of both with single product can (cal cium ammonium nitrate).
It wi ll not produce different product for the different region but this will
provide the single product to satisfy the need of different customer. That is why
there is no room of differentiated or segment marketing. A market coverage
strategy in whi ch no firm decide to target several market segments and design
different offers for each in Fertilizer Company.
Differentiation
Differentiation is third step of customer driven strategy. It means how company
differentiate the market offering to create superior customer value. Fatima
Fertilizer Company di fferentiate its products to occupy good place in customer.
In other words we can say that arranging for to occupy a clear, distinctive and
desirable place in the mind of target customers.FFC makes great effort to
differentiate its product from its competitors. It has much competitive
advantage over its major competitors. Its competit ors are Fuji Fertilizer
Company, endro, engro and national feritilizer company.
1. It is the only fertilizer company in fertilizer industry that offers urea,
CAN, N at the same ti me in three markets. Rest of competitors offer only
one or two fertilizers.
2. In addition to offer products, it al so educate and enlighten the former
how and when to use urea and other fertilizers to enhance the
production. For this purpose the company has hired agriculture experts
to provide guide to end consumers.
3. Another securing point of Fatima fertilizer company limited is direct
access to end consumer. Farmer can reach their complaint and piece of


advices to relate of organization. In near future, they will to establish 24
hours free online system for farm.



Product
Product is the actual offering by the company to its targeted customers
which also includes value added stuff. Product may be tangible (goods) or
intangible (services).

that mostly stem from upgraded gas and chemicals coming out of the fertilizer
production plants
Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited produces:

Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)
Nitro Phosphate (NP)
NPK and
Urea.


Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)
In farming, the efficient supply of nutrients to the plants, with a low level of
losses, is of great importance. This applies primarily to nitrogen, which has a
direct influence on crop growth and development. Due to its special properties,
the supplies of nutrients are quick and for a longer time (Jstore)
Products
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)
26% N (Dual Nitrogen) - 13% Nitrate and 13% Ammonical
Other than Nitrogen, it supplies additional 5 elements required for plant
growth:
Potassium - 0.9%
Calcium - 10%
Magnesium - 0.05%
Sulfur - 0.4%
Copper - 0.001%
Properties
Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) is a granulated nitrogenous fertilizer that
supplies nitrogen to plants in a balanced and secure manner. The combination of
ammonium nitrogen and nitrate nitrogen makes CAN a special product with
neutral chemistry (pH). The excellent granulation and speci fic surface coating
has very good spreading properties.
Effect
The composition of readily available nitrate nitrogen and reserved N (nitrate
available after its conversion from ammonium nitrogen) is optimal for providing
all crops with targeted nutrition. The nitrate nitrogen that is available
immediately after the application and absorbed in water is taken up directly by
the plant and nutrient losses are almost eliminated. CAN is a hygroscopic
product and needs very low moisture to be absorbed by the plant s. It is equally
effective in water stressed areas where soil has low moisture. Furthermore
Calcium and Sulfur available in CAN is also helpful in soil reclamation.


Application
Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN) can be applied universally and is suitable for
all crops, all seasons, soils and locations. The main components nitrate and
ammonium are present in an ideal ratio and make CAN an affordable fertilizer
for healthy plant growth in agriculture and horticulture. It is suitable for multiple
methods of application; by drill, broadcast or through fustigation.

Nitrophos (NP)
Balanced combination of Phosphorus and Nitrogen.For farmers, choosing the
right fertilizer for their soil is very important. In Pakistan, the soils are
calcareous, have high pH and are al kaline i n nature. Nitrophos (NP) being highly
acidic i s the most suitable fertilizer for these soil types.
Products Mix
Nitrophos (NP)
22% Nitrogen - 20% Phosphorus (P2O5)
Also contains 9~10% Calcium
Properties
Nitrophos (NP) is a granulated fertilizer in which each grain has equal amounts
of Phosphorus (P) 20% & Nitrogen (N) 22%. In addition to this, NP being a highly
acidic product with a pH of 3.5, is the most suitable fertilizer for soils that have
a high pH and are alkaline in nature.
Effect
The balanced combination of Nitrogen & Phosphorus is ideal for plant growth
and development. It contains dual Nitrogen (Nitrate: readily avai lable to the
plants and Ammonical: available after its conversion to nitrate through the
process of nitrificati on). Consi stent and longer use of NP also improves soil
health.



Application
Nitrophos (NP) can be applied universall y on al l types of soils, but i s more
effective where the soils have high pH and are alkaline in nature. In many crops
it could be effectively applied at planting and at earl y growth stages of the
crops. Each grain has equal amounts of N & P, hence the nutrients are equally
distributed throughout the field.

Urea
World's most common Nitrogen fertilizer.Urea i s widely used i n the agriculture
sector both as a fertil izer and animal feed additive, which makes the production
of urea considerably high in comparison to other fertilizers in the country.
Products Mix
Urea - 46% Nitrogen
Properties
Urea releases nitrogen into soil which i s thereafter taken up in by the plants.
Once applied to the soil, urea undergoes vital transformations and breaks up
into ammonium form and this total process is dependent on soil moisture. As
soon as urea dissol ves in the soil, it forms around it a zoning layer of high pH
and ammonia concentration turning the soil to be acidi c and toxic at the same
level. Urea is avail abl e as prills that are crystalline white and highly resi stant to
moisture and thus facilitate long time storage as wel l.
Effect
Urea has the highest nitrogen content, equal to 46 percent. This percentage is
much higher than other nitrogenous fertilizers avai lable in the market. The
nutrient composition rendered by urea enhances the productivity of the soil and
enriches its nutrient constituency. Providi ng each plant with relevant element
needed, urea sustains plant life.



Application
Urea can be applied in various form, it can be spread in bulk alone or can also
be mixed with other fertilizers before application. When urea is applied on
acidic soils of higher pH i.e above 7.5, it should be incorporated into the soil as
soon as possible. Urea is high moisture absorbent therefore it should be stored
in sealed and well enclosed bags.

In this modern era, price has a great role in the success. Because there are a lot
of competitors in the market all have great strategy to attract consumers to
purchase product. If we have a competitive advantage on our consumer we have
to reduce our cost of production and as well as have to add value in our
product. Price plays a vital role to attract consumer for the product. So every
company is giving much consideration to price. They endeavor to charge that
level of price whi ch to acceptable to the consumer. They consumers are wi lling
to pay against a product, but what does the really the product mean? Price is
the amount of money for a product or services or sum of both that customer
exchange for the benefit of product or service.

Fatima Fertilizer Company charge convenient price for all its products, whi ch
are all affordable for the customers. Before charging pri ce, they analyze the
entire industry pricing strategy. Fatima Fertilizer Company limited dont charge
high price, because their target customers are lower, lower mi ddle and middle
class land owner. Those who possess the land between 5 to 50 acres it i s not
favorable for the company to charge tall prices which is beyond the purchasing
power of customer because they will switch to competitors product which is
already avail able in the market. Thats why Fatima Fertilizer Company limited
has adopted cost-plus pricing strategy (Adding a standard markup to the cost of

of existing under good level. For this purpose they have hired level -headed
agriculture. Who are making great efforts to produce such user, nitrate
phosphate, and cal ci um aluminums nitrate. Whi ch fertilizer the soil and result
enrich production in present situation in Pakistan i s facing great shortage of
agriculture for example wheat, sugarcane, rice and cotton etc. but very soon,
the effort of Fatima fertilizer company will bear fruit and will reduce this
shortage to great extent.

Nothing is more important than the health and safety of FFCL workforce. This i s
more than a statement - it is a mindset that governs FFCL actions and decisions.



Fatima Group has made a commitment to transform its businesses for the
benefit of future generations. Fulfilling this promise requires the highest
standards of leadership in all aspects of FFCL business, especially health and
safety. FFCL ultimate goal is to run an acci dent and injury free operation.

FFCL contribution towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions is evident from
the installation of a clean development mechanism (CDM) pl ant at Pakarab
Fertilizers Limited in collaboration with Mi tsubishi Corporation, Japan, whi ch is
used to reduce green house gas emissions from the nitri c acid and Co-
Generation plants
Fatima Fertilizer enters into agreement with leading German firm to develop
and implement CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) Project for the Catal ytic
Abatement of Nitrous Oxide in the Tail Gas of its Nitric Acid Plant


Fatima Fertilizer Company Limited has entered into an agreement with N. Serve
Environmental Servi ces GmbH, a German Limited Liabi lity Company, for
development and implementation of a Clean Development Mechanism (CDM)
project at its Plant located in Sadiqabad under the provision of the United
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto
Protocol.
The central feature of the Kyoto Protocol is the requirement that countries limit
or reduce their greenhouse gas emissi ons to set levels. The CDM allows
emission-reduction projects in developing countries to earn Certified Emiss ion
Reduction (CER) credits, each equi valent to one tonne of CO2. These CERs can
be traded and sold, and used by industrialized countries to a meet a part of
their emission reduction targets under the Kyoto Protocol.N. Serve
Environmental Servi ces GmbH specializes in developing and financing high
quality greenhouse gas emission reducti on projects globall y and is a world-
leading expert for nitric acid N2O abatement project impl ementation and
management.
The Customers

Fatima Group - Committed to serving the nation in its time of need
he recent devastation in Pakistan caused by raging floodwater, destroyed
hundreds of thousands of homes, washed away entire crops and killed
livestock on a massi ve scale. With the forecast of more heavy rains and
the anticipation of an impending humanitarian cri sis, Fatima Group through i ts
Corporate Social Responsibility Program embarked upon a comprehensive flood
relief effort throughout the flood hit areas of Punjab. (Wikipedia) With all the
companies under its banner, Fatima Group became acti ve with its efforts from
the very outset of the disaster as the first round of aid was dispensed by 5th of
August.
This aid amounting to more than Rs. 12 million included Cash Donations, Food
& Clothing, Medi cine and Tents etc. Apart from the management of the Fatima
Group, the employees also donated a substantial amount of money for the relief
efforts. So far the relief goods by Fatima Group have reached flood hit areas of
Punjab, supporting around 14,000 flood victims in Muzaffargarh, Rahimyar
Khan, Kot Addu, Bhong, Alipur, Sadiqabad and Liaqatpur. Continuing its
maximum support during the preliminary stage of providing instant relief to the
flood affectees Fatima Group plans to actively involve itself in the proceeding
phase of rehabilitati on of the displaced persons. The rehabili tation process is
being chal ked out, in view of the damage assessment of the affected areas, and
a plan to bring about massive infrastructure uplift will be initiated
simultaneously.
