About Us

Our Unwavering Commitment to Innovation, Sustainability, and a Better Tomorrow

DIFS was established in Australia in 1998 and relocated to the Middle East in the same year to extend its business operations and market network. The primary objective was to supply animal feed products to the Middle Eastern Region and this was successfully achieved in the early stages of business activity.

DIFS became a leader over a period of three years, primarily in the distribution of Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) and Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) as well as other animal feed products such as Fish Meal, Soya Bean oil and similar animal feed supplements. Subsequently, DIFS successfully expanded its operation from being an importer/distributor to being a Manufacturer of DCP/MCP and Fishmeal.

Since DIFS began operations, its major achievements are:

  • 2001-2002 USD 60 Million contract with the Iraqi Government under the Food for Oil programme to supply animal feed.
  • 2005 – 2007 USD 10 Million Fishmeal processing plant was established in Mauritania and is currently supplying the Middle Eastern Region.
  • 2008 – 2010 USD 35 Million DCP/MCP plant was established in Syria in partnership with two local companies; United Co. For Chemical Industries S.A. and AME Group SARL. However, due to the current political conflict and the instability in the region, the plant production is, currently, limited

Later in 2010 due to the political uncertainties in the Middle East, DIFS relocated its business operation back to Australia. Since then, DIFS has been undergoing intensive study and research in the development of a DCP plant in Australia for both local and export markets. It has decisively concluded that a DCP plant in Australia would be just as viable as one in Syria

Hugely advantageous factors such as the ultra stable geopolitical situation in Australia along with a large established local consumer market and the abundance of the raw materials of Rock Phosphate, Sulphuric Acid and Limestone virtually at the plant doorstep in Queensland.

The plant built in Syria, which operated very successfully, is the effective prototype for the proposed plant at Charters Towers. The design is modelled on the Syrian plant but with much greater emphasis on environmental considerations along with stringent Health and Safety standards.

    The Company Structure

    Upon completion of the plant and during the initial production stage, it is envisaged that the number of employees will be somewhere around 35.
    These will include but is not necessarily limited to:

    • Managerial staff
    • Sales staff
    • Administrative personnel
    • Accounts and financial controller
    • Site Engineers
    • Laboratories technicians
    • General Labourers as required
    • Warehouse staff
