REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

The year was extremely good for the core businesses of Animal Feeds and Agri Inputs. Animal Feeds registered 10% volume growth, with strong performance across all categories. Many of the initiatives taken over the past few years, notably separating the poultry and cattle feed sales forces, building a strong marketing team, implementing SAP and investing in R and D have begun to deliver substantial improvement to business performance. The year also saw the acquisition of 51% stake in our Aqua Feed joint-venture Godrej Gold Coin Aquafeed Limited and merger of Godrej Gold Coin Aquafeed Limited with the company.

 

The business-wise performance is reviewed hereunder:

 

ANIMAL FEEDS

Animal Feed business recorded a good growth of 12% in volumes and 13% in revenue. The profitability grew significantly by 13% due to measures adopted for margin expansion.

 

Cattle Feed volumes rose modestly by 6% year-on-year, the first major increase in many years. This has been possible due to increased focus on the business by separation of the sales force into separate Cattle Feed and Poultry Feed sales teams. We also launched “Summerkool”, a cattle feed additive for heat stress prevention, and had a national launch of “MOO Magicmix”, a milk-boosting cattle feed concentrate. These innovative products have been well accepted by the market and are expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

 

 

Poultry Feed volumes also rose modestly, increasing by 6% despite adverse market conditions on account of lower placement of chicks. The placements are expected to increase in the coming year and consequently our poultry feed sales are also expected to rise significantly. From an innovation perspective, we successfully launched “Super Star” broiler feed this year, after two years of intensive R&D working. Super Star has been designed to be the best performing broiler feed in India, and farmer response to the product has been excellent.

 

The combined Aqua Feed business had a fantastic year with volume growth of over 50%. Going forward, this business is expected to sustain rapid growth, especially through sales of Vannamei feed and fishfeed

 

Efficient sourcing, improved formulation, and successful R&D efforts have helped expand our contribution margins. Central Buying Organization (CBO) was successful in forecasting maize prices and took sufficient cover at the right times. Margin expansion was also facilitated by ongoing breakthroughs in feed formulation by GAVL’s Animal Nutrition Innovation Center (ANIC). Additionally, ANIC made substantial contribution to the Animal Feed business by introducing products like “Super Star” and “Summerkool” and advancing their pipeline of innovative cattle nutrition products towards commercialization.

 

AGRI INPUTS

Agri Inputs business had a very good year, growing by 20% in revenue and 40% in profitability. Hitweed, our innovative herbicide for broad leaf weeds, experienced tremendous success, with volumes growing from 21 KL in 2009-10 to 71 KL during the year. Other products that experienced strong success this year were HBR and Zymegold plant growth regulators.

Mumbai, September 15, 2011: Subjet(GAVL), a subsidiary of Godrej Industries Limited announced the launch of a high performance Seaweed extract based product- Dripzyme.  This highly effective product is developed  to meet  the special nutrient requirements of various horticultural crops across the country. Grappling with labor and water shortage, an increasing trend of progressive framers shifting to drip irrigation system is seen. This has led to the need for a specially formulated product for drip irrigated crops. Aptly named „Dripzyme, is most effective through the technique of drip irrigation.

 

Dripzyme helps in growth of additional branches, flower and fruit buds resulting in higher yields. It helps in creating an extended root system giving plants greater access to nutrients and water in the soil thereby enhancing the nutritional value of the yield. It not only improves quality of produce but also aids in saving labor, time and aids in better absorption of nutrients from soil

Balram Singh Yadav, Managing Director, Godrej Agrovet said, “Adoption of drip irrigation in grapes is almost 100% and highest in Maharashtra among all the states. Dripzyme provides an opportunity to the grape growers to improve yield, quality of their produce and realize higher price. Godrej Agrovet is focused on developing innovative products & initiatives to help farmers achieve greater productivity. Dripzyme, our latest offering bears the same philosophy and since adoption of drip irrigation is growing in many states across the country,  it would definitely  add value to a large number of farmers.”

 

Drip variant is gaining acceptance among vegetable and grape growers. In grapes, it increases the formation of fruit buds, improves fertility of existing buds and increases the bunch size. It also improves translocation of sugars  in the berries  which in turn increases TSS content. In vegetables, it creates an extended root system giving plants greater access to nutrients and water in the soil, increases additional branches, flower and fruit buds resulting in higher yields. Dripzyme would be available in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in 500 ml, 1litre and 5 litre packs.
