MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:-

 

Industry Structure and Developments:-

 

The Company is engaged in the business of intermediates, active ingredients and formulations in the off patent-proprietary category with a focus on agrochemical and pharmaceutical industry.

 

2008-2009 saw economies all over the world recovering from the effects of the Global Financial Crisisof 2008. The Indian economy was relatively insulated from the effectsof the crisis.

 

The global market for crop protection products declined by 6% in 2009 in comparison to 2008. This was due to destocking and adverse weather conditions. However, the long term outlook for the industry is bright.

 

The industry has built up large capacities in india and has many manufacturers, especially in formulation business and has a fairly high level of competition. The seasonal nature of business and the climatic uncertainties compel the industry to carry a large inventory for long periods. Domestic markets have been attracting the attention of multinationals who visualize good growth opportunity in the domestic market. The domestic industry has been witness to a steady increase in market share by new generation and patented molecules.

 

Demand for agricultural productswill increase for the following reasons:

1. Increasing affluence ofthe emerging economies and hence increase in food requirements

2. The population of the world is increasing. It is expected to increase from the current level of around 6.8 billion to 9 billion by 2050.

3. Increasing demand for biofuels as governments stipulate higher levels of renewable fuels in gasoline.

 

The growth in the pharmaceutical market slowed down to 5.8%. Total sales reached $773 billion in 2008 according to IMS Health. It is becoming increasingly difficult to introduce new products in the market and the pipeline of new products is decreasing with time. Pharma companies are looking for new ways to boost drug discovery and to reduce the time taken to introduce new products.

 

But the opportunities for the generic players continue to be strong with a large number of products expected to go off patent in the coming years.

 

Domestic market:

 

2009 witnessed delayed and erratic monsoons in India. This led to an overall reduction in the output of grain. However, agrochemical sales were strong. This was due to conditions that were favourable forthe use of crop protection products.

 

The current year has witnessed a good start to the monsoons and we expect a good outlook for our products this year.

 

Export market:

 

Weather conditions in various parts of the world were not favorable for agriculture. This was especially the case in North America, South America and Europe. Additionally, the global financial crisis particularly affected South America.

 

The destocking of 2009 is over and with improved climatic conditions the industry expects to see increased demand for crop protection products in 201 0.

 

Company's performance:-

 

In the financial year 2009-1 0, Sales grew by 30% to reach Rs 11 63.8 millions. Export sales grew by 31 %. Sales of Crop protection Products constituted 85% of the total and pharma intermediates constituted the balance. Our PAT increased by 29%to Rs 138.4 millions

 

The Company has increased capacities of its plants. It has also implemented many cost reduction measures. In addition to this it has introduced new measures to improve its EHS performance.

 

The Company has obtained many new registrations in various parts of the world. Many more registrations are expected to come through.
