Management Discussion and Analysis Report

 

OVERVIEW

 

Indian economic growth is in a state of dynamic progression. Despite signs of recovery from the global financial crisis, the GDP growth rate for the Indian economy is estimated to be at 6.7% in 2008-09 according to the Central Statistical Organisation. While there has been an improvement in Indian industry, particularly the manufacturing sector, the adverse impact of the fall in Kharif production due to rainfall deficiency acted as a drag on the overall growth of the economy. The advance estimates for GDP growth for 2009-10 were pegged at 7.2%. A major concern during the second half of 2009-10 has been the emergence of double digit food inflation. The Government of India has set in motion, steps to bring down the inflation in the next few months and ensure that there is better management of food security in the country. The three key sectors i.e. agriculture, industry and services witnessed deceleration in growth rate in 2008-09. The agricultural growth rate declined to 1.6% as against 4.7% during 2007-08.The agricultural sector is likely to show a decline of 0.2% in its GDP during 2009-10, as against the previous year’s growth rate of 1.6%. Production of food grains and oilseeds is expected to decline by 8% and 5%, respectively, as compared to the previous year. While production of cotton is expected to rise by 0.2%, that of sugarcane is expected to decline by 11.8% in 2009-10. Among the horticultural crops, production of fruits and vegetables is expected to increase by 2.5% and 4.8%, respectively during the year 2009-10. In order to give a further boost to the agricultural sector, the Government of India is committed to follow a four-pronged strategy covering agricultural production, reduction in wastage of produce, credit support to farmers and impetus to the food processing sector. A ‘Nutrient Based Subsidy’ policy for the fertilizer sector has been approved by the Government of India and the same has become effective from 1st April, 2010. The above initiatives coupled with private sector participation, which according to industry estimates have shown a marked improvement over the last few years, are expected to propel the growth of Indian agricultural sector going forward in 2010-11.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT

 

The year 2009-10 witnessed a growth in the Indian crop protection market by 14.2% despite the monsoon being significantly below normal and rapid price reduction of many generic molecules. The main reason for increased growth has been the positive development in the area of commodity prices which motivated farmers to use higher inputs to protect their crops. The demand for fruits and vegetables continued to rise resulting in increased income for the farmers and driving the need for quality crop protection products. Increasing awareness among the farmers about the quality of the produce led to enhanced consumption of fungicides. Worsening labour shortage and growing cost of labour also led to increased herbicide usage. According to industry analysts, despite the existing factors, one encouraging trend that has been consistently supporting the growth of innovation-driven companies is faster adoption of new chemistry molecules. New, more effective and environmentally safe chemistry molecules are being widely accepted by the farmers across the country for use in various crops. This trend underlines the importance of innovation and new product development for sustainable growth in the agri-inputs market. Under Environmental Science Division, Public Health business segment in India was stable during the year 2009-10. Vector-borne diseases such as Malaria, Filariasis, Japanese Encephalitis are under control as is apparent from the reports published by the Government. There were sporadic reports of epidemics of arbo-viral diseases like Dengue and Chikungunya from some parts of the country. DDT, malathion and synthetic pyrethroids continue to be used as Indoor Residual Spray products in the Malaria control programme. The consumption of space-spray chemicals increased due to rapid urbanisation and threats of epidemics. No new major products were introduced in Public Health segment during the year. In the Professional Pest Control (PPC) segment, the growth is clearly visible with entry of some multinational players. Pursuant to the stabilisation of the global economy, there has been movement of international travelers and as a result hospitality industry has started to recover which in turn helped the pest management business. Disposable income, urbanisation, entry of foreign conglomerates, increase in pest pressure etc. have resulted in growth of this segment during the year.

 

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The net sales and other operating income for the year ended 31st March, 2010 amounted to Rs. 17,241.06 million as compared to Rs. 14,825.91 million for the last financial year and profit after tax for the year increased to Rs. 1,272.54 million as against Rs. 944.59 million for the last financial year.  The  Company has successfully harnessed positive trends in the market due to its innovation-based business model. This year The  Company launched new products viz., Confidor Super, Jump, Melody Duo and Oberon, which have been well accepted by the consumers. The Company’s blockbuster product FAME has performed very well during the year. New segments have opened up for this product further expanding its growth potential. All the recently launched products have contributed to the Company’s growth, with their contribution reaching more than one-third of this year’s business. A successful transformation into a truly integrated player offering the holistic ‘Seed to Harvest’ solutions helped the Company to meet a plethora of customer requirements through a common distribution channel. Unique packages have also been developed to include seeds and appropriate crop protection products. The integrated model has also provided a wider distribution channel to the seed portfolio resulting in significant volume growth. The  Company also implemented a unique internal campaign called ‘Passion to Lead’ during the year, to constantly motivate the employees to capture opportunities in the market and outperform the competition. Employee communication through internal bulletins, recognition schemes and best practice sharing has successfully driven the message of ‘Passion to Lead’ among the employees across all functional areas. The Food Chain Partnership initiative made significant progress with addition of new partners. This initiative ensures that farmers get better prices for their produce, less transit losses are incurred and at the same time consumers pay less for better quality food. The  Company is not only innovative in terms of new product development, but also very progressive in its business philosophy. The Company has always been steadfast in staying in the forefront of the industry and adopting newer business approaches that add value to its customers and stakeholders. With the same commitment, the Company implements various initiatives from time to time to support business generation activities and further add to its competitive edge. The Environmental Science Division maintains its position as the market leader in the segments of public health and professional pest control. The  Company continues to sponsor major symposia and seminars to promote general awareness, product knowledge and international trends in vector-borne disease management. Several techno-commercial training programmes on safe use and handling of products were conducted during the year. In the PPC segment, The  Company has established a business tie-up with an international player. The Company participated in the annual convention of India Pest Control Association and supported its activities besides supporting Pest Control Association of India, another professional organisation of Pest Management Professionals.

OPPORTUNITIES AND OUTLOOK

 

The outlook for the research driven innovative crop protection companies continues to remain positive, especially with the strengthening Intellectual Property Rights regulations in the country and a growing acceptance of new chemistry molecules amongst the farmers. According to industry estimates, in the long term, the market will continue to grow at a healthy rate. The consumption of pesticides will increase with higher usage in the low input regions and the value growth will be mainly driven by the introduction of superior molecules. Significant market growth is expected in the herbicides and fungicides segments. More non-agricultural employment opportunities in rural areas due to the progressive government policies and actions, along with high economic growth are expected to influence labour availability for agricultural operations. Consequently, utilisation of selective and non-selective herbicides will get a major impetus. Increasing integration of the food supply chain and rising quality consciousness among the consumers will have a major impact on the market. It will not only augment the fungicides consumption, but also create more opportunities for the crop protection products in the fruits and vegetables cultivation. The  Company is strongly positioned in all the market segments and therefore will benefit from all the growth trends. The  Company’s strong product pipeline is aligned with the developments in the market. The innovation focus will also help The  Company to stay ahead of its competition in the market, by way of business excellence initiatives which make use of the latest information technology platforms to ensure high value delivery to the customers. Under the Environmental Science Division, the growing awareness of vector-borne diseases in the Public and Government Agencies is an opportunity in addition to the international funding provided by donors. Resistance to DDT and organophosphate chemicals by mosquitoes is an opportunity for The  Company to promote synthetic pyrethroids. In the larvicides segment, The  Company would soon be launching an Insect Growth Regulator product which will cater to the need of such products in the market.  In the PPC segment, growth and opportunities are seen in sub segments of termiticides and general pest control. The continued demand for eco-friendly and safer formulations in this segment is seen as an opportunity for The  Company. The partnership with leading pest control operators is ongoing.
