OPERATIONS

 

During the year, the country saw one of the worst monsoons in last few decades. The long period average {LPA) rainfall was 22% short of normal rainfall on aft India bois which severely affected Kharif crops especially paddy. In the kharif season the area under cultivation For food grains declined by and 5 per cent compared to lost year. Food production is expected to be short by around 16 per cent compared so the lost year.

 

While the crop produce prices remained mostly remunerative due to lower production, the crop protection products prices moved downward, continuing she trend seen in the latter port of lost yeas mainly due to tower raw material prices, especially in generic molecules.

 

However, despite these unprecedented adverse conditions, the Company’s agri input business did reasonably welt. The revenue of this business grew by 7% YoY but the EBITDA of this business grew by 30% mainly on account of improved product margins, introduction of new products and efficient overheads cost management.

 

The company is also expecting to launch a low toxicity product in the year 2011, in the insecticide segment, further strengthening its portfolio in rice and vegetables.

 

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

 

A. Chemical business

 

Domestic Agri Inputs Business

 

This business unit of Company provides inputs and solutions to the format in the areas of agrochemicals, specially products and plant nutrients.

 

Food grain area sown in kharif season declined by 6.5 per cent compared to lost year arid food production is expected to be short by around 16 per cent compared to the last year.

 

The second crop season (Rabi) was characterized by low pest and disease occurrence in key crops (esp. Paddy. Potato) and erratic rainfall in Southern states affecting crop like Chili, etc which affected demand far agrochemicals.

 

The crop produce prices remained mostly remunerative driven by inflationary pressures created by short supply and support from the Government.

 

The crop protection product prices also saw a downfall, counting the trend seen in the latter part of last year, mainly due to lower raw material prices, especially in generic molecules. Due to the leadership position of most of the brands, the company was able to maintain reasonable margins in most of the generic products. It has been a strategy to create leadership products and each of the Company’s products ranks # 1 or # 2. There is a definite premium that the Company has created for the brands under its fold.

 

The product has been actively recommended by many state universities, for adoption in rice cultivation Nominee Gold wilt attain die status of the largest brand of Rice herbicide in the coming years arid will contribute significantly the growth of the Company This underlines the endeavor of the Company to create leadership positions in all the categories it operates in Plans are underway to scale up the Nominee Gold business to benefit from this upside. This summarizes the Company’s particular strength; that of creating brands and then creating customer reach end leadership for that brand by leveraging its marketing and distribution infrastructure

 

It is deeply satisfying to see that this product will not only bring lacs of acres of rice under herbicide use, and give higher rice yields, but also save water, the most precious resource for life this would be consistent with the Company’s philosophy to provide innovative solutions, as also to be committed to environmental issues.

 

During the year, despite the bad agro-climatic season, Company’s brand business grew by 5% YoY spearheaded by the robust performance of Nominee Gold. The major growth was achieved in Eastern and Western stoles, along with Karnataka and Kerala in South, with Northern states arid Andhra Pradesh registering minor degrowth mainly due to poor climatic conditions.

 

Though the growth of institutional business of the Company was marginally negative in the domestic market, it grew overall by 3%due to 20% increase in export sales. The Company is also expecting to launch a low toxicity product in the year 2010-11, in the insecticide segment, further strengthening its portfolio in rice and vegetables.

 

During the period, the Company not only successfully launched Nominee Gold; it has also filed for registration of another new molecule for launch in the Year 2011-12. The Company continues its quest for new molecules by signing four new agreements with potent holding companies to evaluate their product in India. Especially in the herbicide and the fungicide segment with an endeavor to strengthen its portfolio in those segments.

 

To augment its portfolio in the herbicide segment, the Company has signed on agreement with a leading multinational company to enter the soybean herbicide segment. This will open doors for the company to strengthen its portfolio, with newer molecules in the pipeline.

 

Despite a bad season, the company was proactively successful in containing the operational costs. It writ also able to bring down working capitol costs successfully far this business thereby augmenting performance.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The fundamentals of the Agriculture sector continue to be strong underlying following facts :

 

• Indian food security is already under perceived threat, with Government taking new steps to boast productivity in agriculture The Government has already announced various programmes for investments in agriculture.

• The sustained price rise of all the major food crags in the last year has made the agriculture more profitable for the former; thereby enticing him to protect his crop in a better manner.

• Farmers have to step up the use of agrochemicals, seeds and fertilizers to enhance their crop yield and productivity

• With rising demand, and the consequent price increase, focus of the former has shifted toward increasing the marketability (quality} of his produce, by protecting it from damage caused by pests and diseases.

 

With the reviving economy, and rising incomes, there is going to be a significant demand increase, both in terms of quality and quantity of agricultural commodities. This demand will be further bolstered by the quality shift seen in the food habits, demanding more productive use of land in agriculture.

 

With the highly successful launch of a Blockbuster Brand - Nominee Gold and similar new products in the pipeline, the Company is now ready to move into the area of value creation of all stake holders to build on the trust earned by it in the post 50 years. It plans to launch new exclusive brands swiftly and make a success out of these by giving them the right product stewardship, marketing arid distribution support The Company has definite advantage when it carries to brand building given the solid track record and on account of its unique marketing arid distribution strength.
