Having yet another feather in its cap, the largest farmers’ cooperative IFFCO’s Joint MD Mr Rakesh Kapur has been elected as the Vice-President of the International Fertilizer Industry Association (IFA) headquartered in Paris.
The IFA is an international body connected with the fertilizer sector having 540 Members covering 80 countries. Mr. Kapur is the Chairman, Fertiliser Association of India (FAI) as well as Jt. Managing Director, Indian Farmers Fertiliser Cooperative Ltd. (IFFCO). He is an ex-IRS Officer who has been with the IFFCO for the last 15 years.
An expert in financial planning who works in close cooperation with the IFFCO MD, Kapur is credited with ensuring sound auditing and accounting standards for the cooperative behemoth.
