In view of this, the requirement of agro chemicals in a big way has enabled the industry to create manufacturing capacities in the country. The Government policies to develop agriculture sector and encouragement to set up the industry have improved the prospects. Therefore, the supply of high quality products with competitive prices, development of new products / formulations and registration in Indian and Overseas market help to sustain the growth. The domestic industry is continuously striving to increase the export by providing the best quality products at competitive prices on time. In view of this, the chemical and agrochemical industry in the country is likely to have a sustainable growth.

 

Opportunities & Threats

The Company has strengthened its presence in the Chemicals, Speciality Chemicals, phosphorous based compounds and Agrochemicals including formulated branded agro chemicals. The requirement of agrochemicals for the domestic agriculture sector coupled with the requirement in the export market have increased the business opportunities. The Company has obtained various registrations from Central Insecticides Board of India and other global registrations for some of the products for increasing the market size. The division of formulated Agrochemical business has been set up to establish the brand name in the local market and to provide solutions to the end users with more product range. International and domestic policies on the production and marketing of these products and extended credit period due to seasonality of agriculture products are the limited threats. The Company is, however, optimistic and taking steps to obtain more overseas registrations to meet the requirement of export market. The options available for working capital facilities are properly studied before resorting to any required borrowings and

the same are regularly monitored. The Company has also got registered few patents for some of the products, which are going to give further benefit.

This division has been able to tap the different countries across the globe, which are now a market for the small entrepreneurs in India, who produces highly advanced quality molecules but are not exposed to those markets.

The concerned manufacturing divisions have duly recognised these concerns and try to address them and limit the impact thereon.
