Factamfos production registered 1,34,822 tonnes against the target of 1,15,000 tonnes. Likewise, the sale of this fertiliser also gathered momentum with 1,40,525 tonnes being sold out during April-June 2015.

Ammonium Sulphate, the second major fertiliser from FACT, also performed well with a quarterly production of 24,079 tonnes and a sale of 28,643 tonnes. The bulk gypsum sales for the quarter was 1,11,498 tonnes.

During the month of June, the company registered a record production of Factamfos at 72,590 tonnes and a sale of 80,241 tonnes against a target of 65,000 tonnes.
