FACE builds upon the legacy of Pakistan’s key agriculture stakeholder, Fauji Fertilizer Company Limited (FFC) as its implementing partner. FFC was established in 1978 for provision of international quality fertilizer for Pakistan’s agriculture need. Right from inception, FFC Agri Services program started reaching out to farmers to coach and guide them on agronomy.
