3. OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANIES • Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited (FFC) is a Pakistan-based company engaged in manufacturing, purchasing and marketing of fertilizers and chemicals, including investment in other fertilizer, chemical and other manufacturing operations. • Poor infrastructure, poverty, high unemployment. • Challenges: • Managing growth • Government regulations and tax • Corruption Omexthe UK’s largest liquid fertiliser manufacturer, offering the farmer, total crop nutrition through its range of unique suspension fertilisers and foliar health promoters. Good infrastructure, increasing unemployment . Challenges: Development within the industry & Competition. Government regulations

4. COMPARISON OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTAL CONDITIONS PAKISTAN • Economical condition of Pakistan is underdeveloped as it suffers from internal crisis at several levels like economy, political disputes, low foreign investments and others. • Every sector of Pakistan economy has made significant contributions to its GDP. Agricultural sector has contributed 20.4 percent to Pakistan gross domestic product. • Industrial sector of Pakistan has accounted for 26.6 percent of 2008 GDP of Pakistan while 53 percent of Pakistani comes from services sector. • Various measures were taken by federal government to maintain and speed up current trend of economic growth in economic condition of Pakistan. Industry and service sector will increase in recent years, as was confirmed by Dr AshfaqueHasan Khan, finance minister of Pakistan. Agricultural sector will not remain behind as well. UK The United Kingdom is a developed country with social welfare infrastructure, thus discussions surrounding poverty tend to be of relative poverty rather than absolute poverty. The economy of the United Kingdom is the seventh-largest national economy in the world measured by nominal GDP and eighth-largest measured by purchasing power parity (PPP), and the third-largest in Europe measured by nominal GDP (after Germany and France) and second-largest measured by PPP (after Germany). The money Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for the United Kingdom, at market prices, in 2009 was £1 396 billion (or $2 003 billion) according to the Office for National Statistics.

5. PAKISTAN • Pakistan, a country with a diverse landscape, hosts large deserts, gushing rivers, and a number of the highest peaks in the world. • But its environment is marred with many environmental issues such as uncontrolled urbanisation, poor solid waste management, degradation of forests, scarcity of water, excessive use of pesticides for agriculture, poor environmental standards in industries, and weak governance structures. • Environmental laws enacted are not enforced properly to help stop the disasters. • Butf or the first time Pakistan has successfully completed a four-year programmewith the IMF and has decided to exit from its supervision and monitoring. UK The UK Government launched its new strategy for sustainable development, Securing The Future on 7 March, 2005. It takes account of new policies since 1999, and it highlights the renewed international push for sustainable development from the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg in 2002. The lead Department, Defra, chairs a Programme Board to oversee delivery of the Strategy, but all UK Departments share responsibility for making sustainable development a reality.

6. UK • Good Nutrient Management covers some of the key steps in achieving good nutrient management • Tax relaxation has been offered in order to attract new entrants andto reduce the dependence on imported fertilisers by enhancing the local production capacity. • Globalisation can lead to improved economies, and creates employment for many people - often women - providing them with financial stability and a chance to escape poverty. But the process is not perfect, with low wages, poor worker’s rights (inadequate health and safety, long hours, no contracts) and child labour apparent in some countries • Measure ammonia and nitrogen oxide • High-performance, cross-stack monitoring • Multi-gas and multi-path system • combines the benefits of both UV, IR and TDL monitoring • There are many factors that affect food production BY OMEX fertilisers in UK and the ‘green revolution’ in developing nations in the mid-1960s transformed agricultural practices and raised crop yields dramatically, but the effect is levelling off and will not meet projected demand. • PAKISTAN • To full fill local demand of fertilizers at affordable prices, the Government is providing subsidy on production and import of fertilizers. • Investors will be allowed to relocate second hand plant, equipment and machinery, with the same concession/exemption as applicable to new plants • Ban on export of fertilizer is also imposed so that economic stability would occur. • old usage and farmers don’t prefer to use it against artificial fertilizer • To meet the demand of fertilizers in the country through indigenous production requires a strong indigenous technological base in planning, development of process know-how, detailed engineering. • Legal Trend are being practicing:  Strengthening the Fertilizer Review Commit.

7. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS FOR SUSTAINABILITY • PAKISTAN FAUJI FERTILISERS! •   In response to these problems, the fertilizer industry, "the 12th Five-Year" development plan "made it clear that 2015, the quantity of nitrogen, phosphate and compound fertilizer enterprises significantly reduce the capacity of large and medium-sized nitrogen fertilizer business accounted for 80% or more. •   In addition, at the same time stressed the need to further speed up the merger and reorganization of the fertilizer business, optimize the structure of varieties, to ensure and enhance the quality of fertilizer products will also become the focus of more attention in the future development of the fertilizer business. UK OMEX Meeting the growing needs of the present without compromising the possibilities of future generations. Need to feed a growing population. Increasing urbanization. Depletion of known resources. Untapped potential resources. Improved but “early stage” technologies
