MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS REPORT

 

WORLD ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The world economy recovered stronger in 2009 than was expected after the financial crisis of 2008. Global activity improved at varying speeds in different economies, tepidly in many of the advanced economies but solidly in most emerging and developing economies.

 

The advanced economies including the US, Euro zone, Japan and the UK, hit particularly hard by financial crisis and the collapse in world trade, are showing some signs of stabilization. Output in advanced economies are   projected to increase by 2.6 per cent in 2010 compared to a contraction of 3.2 per cent in 2009. Among advanced

economies, the United States started off better than Europe and Japan even though the US was the epicenter of the 2008 financial crisis. The stronger U.S. recovery may be attributed to unprecedented fiscal stimulus. However,

high unemployment, large fiscal deficits, unhealed financial systems and weak household balance sheets continue to present challenges.

 

Certain fiscal difficulties developed in Greece in the last quarter of 2009-10 which resulted in nervousness about economies of some Euro zone countries and their currency downfall. Though it led to a worldwide sell-off in equities and a massive increase in risk aversion, it did not signify another crisis.

 

The emerging and developing economies are forecasted to grow at 6.8 percent in 2010 as against 2.4 per cent in

2009. This growth process is led by key Asian emerging economies. China continued to grow at an impressive 8.7 percent in 2009. China's massive stimulus package was a major factor in the country's economic resilience. The program was centered in government infrastructure spending, combined with increases in consumer subsidies and tax cuts. The stimulus charged surge in China's investment led to a sharp increase in imports for domestic use, notably from East Asian trade partners such as Australia, Japan and the Republic of Korea. Chinese demand underpinned exports, production and incomes for partner countries throughout the region in 2009.

 

However, emerging and developing economies like India, China and South East Asian nations were hit by the adverse consequences of commodity prices and the negative impact on the confidence of the financial sector that flow from the continuation of massive expansionary fiscal and monetary policies in the advanced economies, particularly issues of reserve currency.

 

The economic fallout of the global crisis on the CIS has been intense and is weighing heavily on the region's economic outlook. Russia suffered a deep recession in 2009 with GDP contracting by 6.6 percent as against a healthy growth of 5.6 percent in the previous year.

 

OVERVIEW OF INDIAN ECONOMY

 

The Indian economy, after weathering the global financial turbulence reasonably well in 2008-09, registered an overall growth of 7.4 per cent in 2009-10 as against 6.7 percent in 2008-09. Though the agriculture and the services sectors grew at rates lower than 2008-09, the industry sector recorded a growth of 9.3 percent as against

3.9 percent in 2008-09.

 

The food grain production in 2009-10 is estimated to be 218.19 million tonne, which is 16.3 million tonne lower than the output in 2008/09. Rice output was 9.9 million tonne less than that of last year. Coarse cereal production

suffered a large hit, which was largely due to the poor monsoon. Though the output of pulses was marginally better than that of last year, the availability of pulses was inadequate given the level of domestic demand and the limited availability of certain kinds of domestically popular pulses in the international market. Oilseeds output was also lower by 5 per cent, compared to last year, primarily on account of lower groundnut production. Sugarcane output was lower by 3.6 per cent compared to last year and 18 percent compared to year before last. The large shortfall in sugarcane production for two consecutive years has led to a big gap between demand and domestic production of sugar. India being the largest consumer of sugar in the world, this resulted in a severe escalation of both domestic and world prices of sugar.

 

The Indian industry sector witnessed an impressive recovery in the second half of 2009-10 due to restoration of normality in operating conditions. The index for 6 core industries (comprising crude oil, petroleum refinery products, coal, electricity, cement and finished carbon steel) grew at 5.5 per cent in 2009-10 compared to 3.0  per cent in 2008-09.

 

Mining and Manufacturing output stole the show in industry sector by exhibiting a growth of 10.6 percent and 10.8 percent respectively in 2009-10 as against a meager 1.6% and 3.2% in 2008-09. The mining sector bounced back following substantial increase in production of crude oil, natural gas and coal. However, the various increases achieved were less significant than they appeared to be because the lower base helped present better picture.

 

Exports after reaching their lowest point in the last quarter of 2008-09, started improving since July, 2009 and registered strong growth in the second half of 2009-10. The value of exports for the year 2009-10 managed to reach US$ 177 billion. However, the same were still lower than exports of US$ 185 billion in 2008-09. The value of India's imports in 2009-10 was US $ 279 billion, about 8 per cent lower than 2008-09.

 

India's foreign exchange reserves at the end of March 2010 stood at US$ 254.94 billion. This increase was the result of surge in the foreign investments inflows. The total foreign investments in India in 2009-10 amounted to USD 66.5 billion compared to USD 21.3 billion during 2008-09.

 

STC'S PERFORMANCE

 

The year 2009-10 was a landmark year for the company in which it could achieve the highest ever turnover of over Rs.215000 millions reflecting a growth of 9% over previous year. The net profit also reflected a spectacular increase by registering a growth of 36%.

 

TURNOVER

 

The record turnover of Rs.215090 millions achieved during 2009-10 is all the more significant in light of the ongoing adverse impact of global economic slowdown which resulted in a decline of about 7% in India's foreign trade during the same period. The growth in turnover was mainly attributable to high imports of items such as bullion, hydrocarbons, minerals, metals, petrochemicals, etc.

 

SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE

 

Exports

 

During the year, the Corporation continued its efforts to increase exports which were severally affected due to continuing global meltdown and deliberate decision of the Corporation to stop export of some items in view of the high volatility in prices experienced in these items. Non-availability of a number of agricultural commodities such as wheat, rice, sugar, etc. for exports due to domestic shortages further restricted recovery in exports. Major

areas of exports are indicated below:

 

Steel Raw Materials

 

In spite of volatile market, STC was able to effect exports of steel raw materials amounting to Rs.6230 millions thereby registering a significant increase of 39% over the previous year. In fact, exports would have been higher but for the slack steel market in the earlier part of the year.

 

In a bid to expand exports of these items, during the year, STC also exported Rs.4090 millions worth of steel raw material to other countries.

 

Jewellery

 

During the year, the Corporation exported jewellery worth Rs.2720 millions.

 

Castor Oil

 

During the year, STC was successful in developing new buyers of castor oil and exported castor oil worth Rs.890 millions to France, U.K., Netherlands and Thailand.

 

Imports

 

Led by growth in bullion imports, the import turnover reached an all time high of Rs.190490 millions thereby registering a growth of 17% over previous year. Areas exhibiting noteworthy performance in imports are as under:

 

 

 

Bullion

 

A number of measures undertaken by STC during the year to expand bullion business yielded results and the Corporation achieved an all time high bullion import turnover of over Rs.100000 millions, reflecting an increase of  81 % over the previous year. Thus, bullion emerged as the single largest item of import constituting 54% of total import turnover.

 

During the year, STC was successful in expanding the supply base and roping in more suppliers and more customers of bullion. It also set up necessary IT infrastructure at the corporate office building for price monitoring, facilitating timely execution of contracts, payments, etc.

 

Petrochemicals

 

Import of petro-chemicals has also been a major business activity of STC. During the last two years, STC had arranged significant imports of petrochemicals. During 2009-10, STC effected  Rs.30830 millions worth of import sale of petrochemicals, constituting 16% of the total imports of STC.

 

Hydro-carbons, Minerals and Metals

 

Imports of hydrocarbons, minerals and metals by STC amounted to Rs.31060 millions. During the year, STC imported steam coal for various power generating units.

 

 

Fertilizers

 

During the year, STC was once again asked by the Govt. of India to import urea. Accordingly, STC arranged import of 0.68 million MT of urea worth Rs.8670 millions.

 

Pulses

 

STC continued to undertake pulses import on behalf of the Govt. of India in addition to import on commercial account. The pulses operations together yielded a turnover of Rs.6250 millions -higher than the previous year.

 

Edible Oils

 

During the year, STC imported about 3 lakh MT of edible oils resulting in a turnover of Rs.9190 millions. This included Rs.1260 millions from sale of edible oil imported on behalf of the Government, which was packed in 1-litre pouches and delivered to the state governments for public distribution system.

 

Domestic sales

 

During the year, STC effected Rs.4820 millions worth of domestic sales of hydrocarbons, minerals and metals. Sale of pulses was the second largest activity on domestic front and the same yielded a turnover of Rs.2390 millions. Domestic trading in oils, seeds and extractions resulted in business of Rs.1060 millions.

 

The domestic tea operations involving direct procurement from small growers and processing resulted in a turnover of over Rs.130 millions. The Corporation has finalized arrangement with three processing units and a substantial turnover is expected from these operations in 2010-11, covering both exports and domestic sales.

Other major items of domestic trade were jute goodsRs.410 millions and maize Rs.60 millions. Total domestic sales amounted to Rs.9560 millions.

 

 

Profitability

 

During the period , the net profit of the Corporation grew by 36% to Rs.1070 millions as against Rs.790 millions in the previous year.

PRESS RELEASE:

 

State Trading Corporation set for a makeover

 

G. Srinivasan

 

New Delhi , May 15

 

The State Trading Corporation of India Limited (STC) is all set for a make-over from being a bulk trading agency in commodities to a one-stop shop that offers specialised trade facilitation, by drawing from experience and contacts built over five decades.

 

In an interview to Business Line, the Chairman-cum-Managing Director of STC, Dr Arvind Pandalai, said, "In the medium- to long-term, with so much competition and the market opening up, the trading scenario is going to change. Unless we prepare ourselves through value-addition in trading operations, nobody is going to come to us."

 

Accordingly, the Rs 10,0000.000 Millions trading giant has devised several plans to position itself through "backward and forward integration and industrial participation programme with best international companies so that not only our requirements are met but the country too gets the best technology at affordable cost," said Dr Pandalai.

 

"Our product range, strong financial base, proprietary infrastructure and expertise in third-party trading would all be duly and fully used to convert STC into a world trading company instead of being an India-centric corporation," Dr Pandalai said.

 

On backward integration, he said, anybody who exports through us needs certain inputs, whether it is raw materials, machinery, technology or assistance in developing products, which might be available domestically or globally.

 

"We are going to get all these through our connections and contacts so that the exporters become permanent partners and together we can grow manifold," Dr Pandalai said.

 

In certain cases, he said, this might even be financial requirements and "if we see capabilities, we can get finances cheaper than anybody else as we have structured financial operations which we had begun a couple of years ago."

 

On forward linkage, he said, "Our clients (both exporters and importers) may require certain inputs and want us to offload some of their products somewhere else. We are helping to get these done besides assisting them in running their plants efficiently."

 

Dr Pandalai said the corporation is going to certain high-tech areas and tie up with patent-holders internationally, bring them to India and help them set up units to manufacture their products which can be used as a base for selling to India and also for third country exports.

 

He cited the example of proprietary items for which there was an exclusive tie-up for production and marketing of ballistic protection equipment, including bullet-proof armouring of vehicles, under the Centre's plan to modernise police/paramilitary forces and forensic science laboratories.

He said the company would derive its strength from its earlier experience in counter-trade deals on defence equipment.

 

Dr Pandalai also mentioned a recent MoU that STC had signed with the Foreign Economic Relations Department of the Government of Uzbekistan. Under this, STC would take some capable textile manufacturers from India to set up a manufacturing base in Uzbekistan, using the abundant local cotton there to manufacture yarn.

 

The final product could be exported to a third country or brought back to India, which meant, he said, "instead of bringing large volume of cotton, it is much easier to bring in yarn."

 

The STC Chief said, with disinvestment blues behind the company, "we are going to fill up the vacuum for professional skills available at various stages."

 

The company has begun "dialogues with reputed global organisations to study the new areas into which the corporation plans to foray and develop a structure and the inputs required so that the company can get the human skills by staying one step ahead of competition."

 

On the current year's prospects for the company, Dr Pandalai said STC would definitely do better than the MoU physical target it had projected to the Government, particularly on the export front in areas such as steel, ore, granite and pharmaceutical products.

 

On the import front, the company would consolidate its gains in trading edible oil, parallel marketing of petro-products and a few other traditional and non-traditional items.

 

 

FIVE DECADES OF THE STATE TRADING CORPORATION

 

The State  Trading Corporation of India Ltd. (STC) has entered the year of its existence in international trading.  It has been a long sail for STC since its incorporation on May 18, 1956 as an autonomous company of the Government of India under the Indian Companies Act, 1956.  Today STC has an extra-ordinary track record of five decades of service to the nation.

With a starting capital of Rs. 10.000 Millions, STC initiated  India’s trade with East European and other countries having bilateral trading agreements after its formation.  Over the years, the Corporation has played a pivotal role as an international  trading organization dealing in exports, imports and domestic trading activities as also an instrument of trade policy of the Government of India.

With the gradual expansion in business, the role and responsibilities of the Corporation have kept pace with the fast growth in trade of specific products such as iron ore, handicrafts and handlooms.  To cater to the trade in specific commodities number, a corporation such as the Minerals and Metals Trading Corporation (MMTC), Cashew Corporation of India (CCI), Projects and Equipment Corporation (PEC) and State Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals Trading Corporation (SCPTC) were carved out of STC during the early 1960s and 70s to handle independent business of these items.  Even the Handicrafts and Handloom Export Corporation (HHEC) and Tea Trading Corporation of India (TTCI)  were subsidiaries of STC at some stage.  Some of these corporations have since merged back with STC while others have become independent corporations.

           

STC has played the role of a catalyst in promoting exports from the small-scale sector by providing a package of services to them such as product development, import of raw material and machinery, quality control, financing, market intelligence, participation in trade fairs, technical know-how, packaging, costing, pricing, transportation, documentation and above all the STC goodwill.  STC set up a number of common facility centers for the benefit of exporters.  These included shoe upper unit for manufacture of  shoe uppers, textile design centre to create new styles and designs of readymade garments in line with the prevailing fashion trends in international markets and design-cum-development center for sports goods industry.  STC’s role in promoting exports of leather, leather products, woolen knitwear, processed foods, cosmetics, chemicals, drugs and disposables has been noteworthy.

As an instrument of the Government’s Trade Policy, STC arranged imports of essential commodities of mass consumption  such as edible oils, wheat, sugar and pulses.  It also handled a large volume of canalized imports of newsprint, natural rubber and life saving drugs to meet domestic shortages.  In 1974-75 alone, the Corporation handled as many as 118 canalised items of import, which mostly comprised chemicals.  Encouraged by the success achieved in handling bulk items, the Corporation set up an Industrial Raw Material Assistance Centre (IRMAC) which imported non-canalised raw materials in bulk and arranged off-the-shelf deliveries to actual users and registered  exporters against valid  advance licences, thereby passing them the benefits of bulk buying.  The Corporation also imported banned or restricted items like phenol and industrial alcohol to meet their shortages in the country on advice.  It imported raw materials and capital goods at most competitive prices, thereby saving foreign exchange.

STC ahs also successfully served its socio-economic objectives by ensuring remunerative prices to growers of certain agricultural products such as rubber, tobacco, shellac, lemon grass oil and sticklac through price support operations undertaken from time to time at the instance of the Government.  These operations, whenever undertaken by the Corporation, had a salutary impact on prices.

The total turnover of STC attained a peak of Rs. 36460.000 Millions during 1987-88 when STC imported about 2 million metric tones of edible oils.  Profits were also at peak during the 1980s when STC earned an average profit before tax of Rs. 560.000 Millions per annum.

Liberalisation of trade policies by the Government since 1991 did   pose a challenge to the Corporation’s business in the initial years.  But, STC geared itself well to meet the global challenges by embarking upon diversification of its activities.

Over the past five decades, STC has grown from strength to strength.  It has since raised its equity capital to Rs. 300.000 Millions, of which, Rs. 280.000 Millions has been added by way of capitalization of reserves.  In addition, STC has reserves worth Rs. 2760.000 Millions today.  The Corporation has earned profits since its inception and  has contributed Rs. 7750.000 Millions to the public exchequer by way of payment of dividends and taxes.

STC has developed infrastructure and expertise necessary to structure and implement  any type of trade transaction.  Backed by fourteen branch offices, mostly located at major port towns, the Corporation has its corporate office at New Delhi.  Its major branches are situated at Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata and Mumbai.   The Corporation has its own tank farms with a capacity of 40,000 MT at Mumbai Port for storage of liquid cargo, own warehouse at Kakinada Port for dry cargo spread over an area of 2.26 lakh sq.ft. and godown space at Jalandhar measuring about 13,000 sq.ft. besides storage at other ports on long-term lease.  The credit limits enjoyed by STC from various Indian banks and international financial institutions are far higher than most private sector companies in the country.

STC has also developed large, real estate in the form of offices and residential  accommodation at major metropolitan cities including a housing colony for its employees at New Delhi.  Currently, STC is engaged in  undertaking exports, imports and domestic trading in a large number of items.  Exports by STC vary from agricultural commodities like wheat, rice sugar, coffee, extractions, cashew, castor oil, castor seed, pulses, coarse grains, jute goods and tea to manufactured products like chemicals, drugs. Pharmaceuticals, medical disposables, textiles, garments and foods.  STC also undertakes offshore trade, making the best use of its experience of about five decades in international trading.  In one such transaction, STC realized money under Government of India’s debt repayment plan by procuring rice from Vietnam and exporting it to Singapore.

In the past three years, the Corporation also made forays into many new areas of trade such as the import of hydrocarbons, minerals, metals, fertilizers on commercial account, petro-chemicals, IT products, and in exports of iron ore, chemicals and drugs.  STC has thus emerged as a leading exporter of agro products and importer of precious metals and other bulk items in the country.

As a result of diversification of business activities, during 2004-05, the STC Group has achieved an all-time high turnover exceeding Rs. 100000.000 Millions and earned a net profit after tax of Rs. 270.000 Millions.
