The Fertiliser Control Order 1985 (FCO) imposes strict requirements on every fertilizer manufacturer, importer, and dealer in India. From label content and nutrient percentage declarations to state licensing and batch documentation, non-compliance can mean product seizure, dealer license cancellation, and criminal prosecution. AgriPeople's FCO compliance module keeps you permanently audit-ready without adding administrative burden to your team.
FCO-Compliant Label Generation
Generate labels for all fertilizer grades covered by FCO 1985 — straight fertilizers (Urea, SSP, DAP, MOP), complex NPK grades, water-soluble fertilizers, and micronutrient products. Each label auto-includes: product name, grade designation, declared nutrient percentages (with tolerance limits), batch number, manufacture date, country of origin, net weight, MRP, and manufacturer license number. Labels updated automatically when FCO amends specifications.
Nutrient Declaration and Batch Testing
For each batch, record QC test results for all declared nutrients. System automatically checks against FCO tolerance limits and flags non-conforming batches before dispatch. CoA auto-generated from test results. If a batch fails QC, it is quarantined in the system and cannot be dispatched. All QC records maintained for 5 years as required by FCO.
State Licensing and Compliance Calendar
Each state has different fertilizer manufacturer/importer/dealer licensing requirements under FCO. AgriPeople maintains these requirements by state, tracks your license status, renewal dates, and inspection schedules. Auto-alerts 90, 60, and 30 days before renewal. Store digital copies of all licenses, inspection reports, and NABL test certificates.
Sample Collection and Inspector Management
When state inspectors collect samples, record the event digitally: inspector name, designation, license number, sample collection date, batch details, and seal number. Upload the official sample collection form. System tracks sample status and generates alerts if test results are overdue. If results show non-compliance, the escalation workflow triggers automatically.
Audit Trail and Documentation
FCO inspectors may arrive unannounced and demand production records, test certificates, batch registers, license copies, and stock statements. AgriPeople maintains all of these as searchable digital records. During an inspection, pull up any document in under 30 seconds. The system generates a print-ready audit pack covering the last 3 years of operations.
