BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT AND INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Global Agrochemical Industry:

 

There is great potential in the global agrochemical industry, which has grown from USD 25.8 billion in the year 2001 to USD 41.7 billion in 2008. The industry is expected to be worth USD 196 billion by 2014, with Asian markets accounting for nearly 43% of the total revenues.

 

Indian Agrochemical industry:

 

As the Company directly depends on Agriculture Industry, the Agrochemical Industry’s performance is based on the success and performance of the Agriculture Industry. The Indian Agriculture Industry provides significant support for economic growth and social transformation of the country. As one of the world’s largest agrarian economies, the agriculture sector (including allied activities) in India accounted for more than 15% of the GDP and contributed approximately more than 10% of total exports. Notwithstanding the fact that the share of this sector in the GDP has been declining over the years, its role remains critical as it provides employment to around

60% of the workforce. Agriculture Growth Rate had grown earlier but in the last few years it is constantly declining. Still, the Growth Rate of Agriculture in India in the share of the country’s GDP remains the biggest economic sector in the country.

 

Inspite of its decline in the share of the country’s GDP Agriculture Growth Rate plays a very important role in the all round economic and social development of the country. Agriculture Growth Rate in India’s GDP has slowed down as the production in this sector has reduced over the years. The agricultural sector had low production due to a number of factors such as illiteracy, insufficient finance, inadequate marketing of agricultural products and the average size of the farms being very small. Secondly, growth in production of agricultural crops depends upon acreage and yield. Further, multiple cropping can be used as a means to increase the gross cropped area. It is clear that the main source of long-term output growth can only be improvement in yields. Improvement in yield, which is a key to long-term growth, depends on a host of factors including technology, use of quality seeds, fertilizers pesticides, micronutrients and irrigation. Each of these plays an important role in determining yield level and in turn augmentation in the level of production.

 

The Indian Agrochemical Industry which is estimated at USD 1 billion ranks 2nd in Asia and 12th globally. It is estimated that India loses approximately 18% of its crop yield, valued at Rs.90,0000 Millions, due to pest attacks each year. In value terms, the size of the Indian pesticide industry was estimated at Rs.7,4000 Millions in 2007. Agrochemicals are classified as Insecticides, Herbicides and Fungicides. In India, insecticides contribute the largest share at 62% compared to global consumption of 28%. Globally herbicides constitute the largest consuming Agrochemical with a share of 48%.

 

Demand for Agrochemicals is expected to be very strong in the coming years due to the following reasons:

 

· International comparisons reveal that the average yield in India is only 30% to 50% of the highest average yield in the world. Shortage of food across the world has already pushed the demand for agrochemicals to a huge extent.

 

· The World’s population is currently 6.7 billion and 750 million people are born every year. The population is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050. To keep pace with the growing population, food production, especially in developing countries will have to double by 2050.

 

· The farmers will have to boost their yields. This will encourage the demand for agrochemicals, being one of the key inputs to increase in yields.

 

· Crop prices remain stable and are on an uptrend for the last one year, improving the profitability of the farmer.

 

COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE

 

The Company has a diversified product portfolio for Insecticides, Herbicides, Fungicides and Specialty chemicals.

 

In the current financial year, the company has plans to introduce new products in the market viz. Pretilachlor (rice herbicide), Tricyclazole (rice fungicide), Triclopyr (Herbicide) and Propineb (broad spectrum fungicide). With these new products, the company hopes to grow these businesses to a respectable size in the coming years. In propineb, which is a broad spectrum fungicide and is a product with global sales of USD 150 million, the Company hopes to be a viable alternative to the only other supplier of this product in the world, namely Bayer. Hence, the Company will be the second manufacturer of this product in the world. The Company already has a registration package for propineb and the product is under registration in various countries in Asia and Latin America. The Company has registered the product in India and is expected to introduce this product in India shortly. In FY 2009-10, the Company introduced Methamidaphos, an insecticide used across several fruit and vegetable produce and is sold in South America and Africa. The Company is now one of the main suppliers of Methamidaphos in the world.

 

In the Current Financial Year 2010, the Company was accorded Trading House status by Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.

 

The Company has taken up the expansion program for setting up an export –oriented unit of technical active ingredients at Dahej SEZ, Gujarat with an estimated capacity of 2650 t.p.a The Company has achieved financial closure for this project, and civil work is expected to start soon. Further, engineering for the project is at an advanced stage and project is likely to be commissioned in November, 2011.The Company expects to generate additional sales revenue of 2-3 times of the investment after commissioning of this new project in Dahej SEZ. The Company has exposure in all three segments of the crop protection industry i.e. Fungicides, Insecticides and Herbicides. In order to have diversified portfolio, the Company has strategically concentrated on one or two key products in each of the segment. The Company has also made its presence in these segments in such a way that the products have different selling seasons which ensures fairly stable and uniform sales throughout the year to overcome historical seasonality of the business.

 

The Company’s net sales increased to Rs.4303.193 Millions in 2009-10 compared to Rs.3666.608 Millions in 2008-09. The domestic sales have shown a good growth of over 41% in 2009-2010, contributing to 41% of the overall sales of the Company in 2009-10. The Company has reported a better margin with net Profit of Rs.389.609 Millions in 2009-10 as compared to Rs.217.707 Millions in 2008-09. The debt equity ratio is 0.71 as of 31st March, which reveals healthy financial position of the Company.

 

After successful completion of the expansion program which was taken up in 2008-09, resulted in significant increase in the capacity of Herbicide segment. To achieve the benefit of increased capacity of Herbicide segment, the Company has decided to focus on the European market with more efforts. As a first step it has obtained registration of Glyphosate, an environmental friendly formulation in U.K. and Germany, Ireland with France expected shortly. In addition, the Company is generating registration packages for Europe for four formulations in the segment of herbicides and fungicides including an environmental friendly green glyphosate formulation at a total cost of US$2 million. The benefits of the registrations and penetration in the said market are expected to be accrued to the Company in coming years. The Company has also been invited to join the glyphosate task force in

Europe which will ensure it to remain an important and serious player of glyphosate in Europe.

 

In Fungicides Segment, the Company’s key product Mancozeb has been performing very well as per expectations. The global market for the said product is estimated at US $ 600 million. Further, the Company manufactures entire range of formulations of Mancozeb viz. granules, oil suspension, wettable powder, suspension concentrate. Hence the Company has an edge over the other manufacturers who offer only specific range of product. Additionally, the Company being the second largest producer of the said product and having 240 registrations world wide will definitely help to boost its share in the global market and in India. The Company expects to obtain registrations for Mancozeb in a number of countries where it is not currently present such as Brazil, France, UK, Spain, Italy, Cameroon etc. and to thereby increase its market share in the global mancozeb business. The Company also plans to enter new segments such as the fruit and banana plantation segments and

its product is under testing and approval from all the main global plantation companies.

 

In Insecticides Segment, the Company manufactures and has a strong presence in the local and international market for its main product, Monocrotophos. It is currently one of the largest manufacturers of Monocrotphos and has completely backward integrated products such as Acephate, Chlorpyriphos, Dichlorovos and Methamidophos. The Company has obtained registration for chloropyriphos in Brazil in the year 2009 and during the first year of operations, 50% of the sales of the said product were accounted by the Brazil market only. It was sold under the brand name “Sabero”. The Company is in the process of debottlenecking the capacity of its chloropriphos plant and this is expected to start by October, 2010. After completion of debottleneck programme, the increased capacity will help the Company increase its market share in countries such as Argentina, Brazil and in domestic market where there is a good opportunity for the Company to increase its business. The Company is also a major player in acephate, one of the largest selling insecticides in the world, majorly in India, Brazil, USA, Argentina, Pakistan, Paraguay, and Japan. The Company recently registered and started selling Acephate 90% prills, an environmentally friendly formulation in USA. The Company’s other insecticide products viz. monocrotophos and dichlorovos where the Company is completely backward integrated from yellow phosphorous continues to give the Company a very competitive cost position and control over quality at every stage of manufacture. The said debottlenecking programme will be completed in second quarter of 2010-11 wherein the capacity of monocrotophos will stand increased at 4400 t.p.a. As regards marketing, the Company had wide a spectrum of customers in over 50 countries. It is a supplier to many multinationals having their own registrations and also market through distribution network in domestic market as well as other countries viz. Europe, Brazil, Uganda, Argentina, Morocco, etc. The Company also has four subsidiaries in Australia, Europe, Brazil and Argentina. These companies were formed with an object to obtain registrations in the respective countries and these will be used as vehicles for building a strong distribution network in the relevant regions. Further, considering the market segment to which it is catering, it would be interesting to note that 30% business of the Company is attributed to Multinational Companies, 40% to strong domestic and international companies (B2B) and balance 30% through Dealers Distribution Network under its own brand. Hence, with presence in all three segments, strong marketing strategies, 240 registrations in 50 countries and a wide spread market would definitely further boost the sales in the coming years. In the domestic market, the Company has strengthened its domestic distribution network by appointing additional 500 dealers in the current year and also increasing its field sales staff by additional 40 persons. In addition, product development teams in the south, north and west zone dedicated to farmer demonstrations and product promotions have been put in place.

 

FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The Indian Agriculture Industry is on the brink of a revolution that will modernize the entire food chain, as the total food production in India is likely to Double in the next ten years. As per recent studies the turnover of the total food market is approximately Rs.2500000 Millions (US $ 69.4 billion) out of which valueadded food products comprise of Rs.800000 Millions (US $ 22.2 billion). The Government of India has also approved proposals for joint ventures, foreign collaborations, industrial licenses and 100% export oriented units envisaging an investment of Rs.191000 Millions (US $ 4.80 billion) out of which foreign investment is over Rs. 91000 Millions (US $ 18.2 Billion). The agricultural food industry also assumes significance owing to India’s sizable agrarian economy. In terms of foreign investment and number of joint- ventures / foreign collaborations, the consumer food segment has the top priority. Excellent export prospects, competitive pricing of agricultural products and standards that are internationally comparable has created trade opportunities in the agro industry. This has further enabled the Indian Agriculture Industry Portal to serve as a means by which every exporter and importer of India and abroad, can fulfill their requirements and avail the benefits of agro related buy sell trade leads and other business opportunities.

 

In the domestic market, the country has been able to manage one of the most deficient monsoons with concerted efforts of the Governments. Several incentives and concessions allowed to farmers by the States and the Central Government resulted in motivation for growth. The sector, however, faces various challenges which need to be addressed sooner than later. Although the yield per hectare of food grains has shown some improvement in recent years, it is not significant enough to cater to the needs of the rising population, particularly when income levels are also rising. Since farm productivity is not showing desirable growth there is an need to focus on research as well as better agricultural practices to ensure that productivity levels are increased in the shortest time possible. Hence there is a lot of scope available for further improvement in the productivity, cultivation techniques and effective use of arable land with amalgamation of fragmented land which can provide further scope in the domestic market.

 

Secondly, with a major step towards favourable policy environment and availability of credit at reasonable rates for the private sector will attract more private investment in the agriculture sector which can further boost the growth in the sector. However, the Agriculture Sector is still a matter of concern after the global meltdown in fiscal 2008-09 which had resulted in slow down of economy and recession all over the world. Though with strong all round efforts and stimulation packages as announced by the Government the industrial sector has shown some recovery, but the Agriculture sector has not responded to the favourable environment. In the international market, Agrochemical Industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.4% from 2009 to 2014 to $196 billion in which Asia’s

share of nearly 40 percent. With all the large agricultural nations like U.S, Brazil, China, Canada, Argentina, and Australia acting towards increasing their food yield for internal consumption as well as for export, the governments in these countries are encouraging the extensive usage of agrochemicals. China and India are the world’s largest

consumers of agrochemicals, which have made Asia the dominating market, accounting for 43 % of global agrochemical revenue in 2008. Agro chemical products are protected by the Patents to encourage innovations. As per estimates, the patents of the major products will expire by 2014 and this will open up the markets for generic manufactures. The Company, being one of the leading manufacturers of generic products is likely to get the benefits of new market to be opened for generic product manufacturers. With a growing global population, the pressure on the limited agricultural land is increasing and to meet this demand, agro-chemicals has proven vital for increase in production of Agricultural products. Agro-chemicals, which includes fertilizers and pesticides, give a boost to the agricultural yield for agricultural land by providing nutrients and protecting the crops against pests and non-essential herbs. In the present condition, the Company is not only expected to perform well with quality products and long term measures taken by it to sustain in the difficult time, but it is expected to take a long stride with the favourable market support.
