Domestic and Export Markets:

 

The Agro Chemical industry has witnessed a growth of 2% in the domestic market during the year due to deficit rain.

 

This year Kharif / Rabi acreage was affected adversely and continued dry spells in many parts of the Country resulted in less pest infestation. Against all the odds the Company saw 21% growth in branded sale while this segment grew only by 2% which placed it ahead of many competitors.

 

Exports dropped by 15% largely owing to global recession and climatic vagaries. Initially panic liquidation of stocks has scuttled the demand supply equation and at later part of the year there was a roll back of stocks due to lesser fungal attack and pest infestation as a common global phenomena.

 

The Climatic adversity, severe competition and crop specific business dynamic has stretched the credit market. Also strategic placement of products resulted in inventory built up.

 

The over all business scenario in The Company in both export and  domestic market  put  together  proved  to  be  favorable,  despite  various  market constraints  so far, due to the improved operational efficiency,  proactive steps  taken  to  grab  business  opportunity,  built  inventories   before Olympics, strategic placement and favorable price realization. The focus on the aforesaid areas will continue to be stronger in the coming year.

 

Build up of higher inventories to leverage reduced raw material cost before Olympics has caused a severe strain on the working capital / cash flows. However, it got eased by the close of the financial year.

 

Company gained marginally due to natural hedging in a fairly stable forex market.

 

New Project

As a support to its growth plan in the technical export market, the Company is planning to set up a green filed project which is expected to be operational during first half of the Financial Year 2012-13.

 

Environment Protection

The  Company is continuously committed to the environment protection and responsible care for all its stake holders. It is also driven as a corporate culture through its various welfare activities.

 

The  Company is recommended ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004; OHSAS 18001:2007 certification accreditation for its proven standards covering Quality, Environment, Safety and Occupational Health Management Systems.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION and ANALYSIS

 

Industry Structure and Developments

The Company in Agrochemicals would strategically strive to build up capacities and enhance the market share both in domestic and global markets in Technicals and Formulations for the next few years before the Company embarks on diversification.

 

The Company has embarked on a quantum leap in the retail segment through aggressive market penetration, with diversified portfolio and further spreading distribution network in untapped markets. As a state-of-art world class formulation plant development centre being built at Hyderabad augurs well with its vision to have its own innovative molecules being commercialized.

 

While the Company will predominantly and aggressively grow in Crop Protection Chemicals, it will parallely pursue its interests in other life sciences and specialty chemicals.

 

Growth of the Company will be, in future, both through Organic and Inorganic growth, Mergers and Acquisitions, Joint Venture Partnerships and New Alliance Partnerships.

 

Financial Performance

During the year, overall sales has increased. The profit after tax was at Rs.597.600 millions

 

 

Opportunities and Threats

The Company pioneered strongly in Agrochemicals and sustained to be a lead player in India with its strong brand equity both in its product portfolio and as a Group. Therefore, wish to continue to grow with its Core Competency to be amongst the top in India and in the World.

 

As India would be a potential contract manufacturer over the next decade. The Company has its advantage to be the front runner with its past several years of experience.

 

The Proposed New Green Field Project in SEZ near Vizag, with best technology and economy of scale and international manufacturing standards, will pave way for being a lead contract manufacturing and export promoting Company for Crop Protection Chemicals.

 

Threats

Economic buoyancy and global climate drift could be a potential threat for Agrochemicals business with a premonition of negative growth. This could also be compounded with the newly emerging competition threads in the global markets.

 

Outlook

Normal monsoon season forecast during the year 2010-11 indicating a better business prospect compared to the previous year.

 

With many new entrants in the domestic market with generics and newer molecules could make the domestic market intensely competitive. In view of generic competition intensity, the Company launched strategically seven new products which has given tremendous success. While these seven and already existing old molecules will continue to grow, there is a plan to launch 10 more new products.
