INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies remain. Economic liberalization, including industrial deregulation, privatization of state-owned enterprises, and reduced controls on foreign trade and investment, began in the early 1990s and has served to accelerate the country's growth, which has averaged more than 7% per year since 1997. India's diverse economy encompasses traditional village farming, modern agriculture, handicrafts, a wide range of modern industries, and a multitude of services. Slightly more than half of the work force is in agriculture, but services are the major source of economic growth, accounting for more than half of India's output, with only one-third of its labor force. India has capitalized on its large educated English-speaking population to become a major exporter of information technology services and software workers. In 2010, the Indian economy rebounded robustly from the global financial crisis - in large part because of strong domestic demand - and growth exceeded 8% year-on-year in real terms. However, India's economic growth in 2011 slowed because of persistently high inflation and interest rates and little progress on economic reforms. High international crude prices have exacerbated the government's fuel subsidy expenditures contributing to a higher fiscal deficit, and a worsening current account deficit. Little economic reform took place in 2011 largely due to corruption scandals that have slowed legislative work. India's medium-term growth outlook is positive due to a young population and corresponding low dependency ratio, healthy savings and investment rates, and increasing integration into the global economy. India has many long-term challenges that it has not yet fully addressed, including widespread poverty, inadequate physical and social infrastructure, limited non-agricultural employment opportunities, scarce access to quality basic and higher education, and accommodating rural-to-urban migration.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

INDUSTRYSTRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS: AGROCHEMICALS

 

Following a period of decline in overall market values, the global pesticides industry – as expected has recovered in 2011 and has registered a modest growth. Although high cereal stocks in Europe, high energy costs, over supply of pesticides globally and concerns over re–registration in various important markets has limited gains, this small rise represents an improvement over the past few years. At a time of rising food prices, population growth, increased demand for bio–fuels and concerns over global food security, there is a growing need for using every available technology – including pesticides, to meet future food needs and tackle the emerging challenges of climate change and resource conservation.

 

The Indian crop protection chemicals market has seen a sustained increase from 2005 onwards, resulting in India being ranked third in best global market performance – after Argentina and Brazil, with a compound annual growth rate of 10 percent. This is mainly due to the consistent monsoon seasons, over–supply resulting in pesticides being more financially feasible for usage by farmers and growth seen in the export market. India has raised the level of its export competency with a consistent quality and supply record and possession of a vast unexplored market. Chemicals manufacturers have targeted product awareness campaigns at Indian farmers, as the country’s affordability has increased with the cultivation of high–value crops. 'The per capita consumption of pesticides in India is still very low compared to the developed countries and manufacturers need a smart ‘get to market’ strategy to achieve better reach and acceptance of products. The demand will also be driven by the rising food grain demand and increasing awareness about pesticide usage among the farmer community. However, threat of illegal, cheap imports from China is ever present and becoming a big factor in performance of local Indian producers.

 

With the global pesticides market expected to grow at an average annual rate of 2.2% till 2014 and with favourable market factors – lead by sustained demand for food grains and bio–fuels and government’s focus on development of agriculture, the outlook for Meghmani is improving. The year saw an average performance in exports mainly because of the imposition of international embargo on Iran – one of our main export markets, low off–take from Argentina, re–registration requirements in some of the Latin American countries and a general malaise seen within the existing customer base.

 

AGROCHEMICALS – OVERVIEW OF THE COMPANY

 

The Company has 4 Agrochemical manufacturing facilities situated at:

Agro – I Plot No. 402,403,404,452 & 455, Village Chharodi, Taluka Sanand – Ahmedabad

 

Agro – II Plot No. 5001 B, GIDC Ankleshwar

 

Agro – III Plot No. CH–1+2/AGIDC Industrial Estate, Dahej, Taluka:Vagra, Bharuch.

 

Agro – IV Plot No. 20, GIDC Panoli, Ankleshwar

 

The Company produces commonly used pesticides for crop and non–crop applications such as public health, insect control in wood preservation and food grain storage. The Company counts amongst its customers leading pesticide manufacturers from North America, Europe, Latin America Asia, Brazil, and South Africa.

 

The production processes of the Company’s Agro businesses are largely vertically integrated. They manufacture some Pesticides Intermediates which are used in the manufacture of our Pesticides Technical. Such vertical integration allows us to effectively manage our raw materials costs and assures us of a constant supply of such raw materials at a consistent quality and consequently, has reduced our reliance on third party suppliers for such raw materials. Past three years have shown highly inconsistent raw material supplies with production sites in both India and China getting afflicted by environmental issues, thereby adversely affecting the production within the Company. Therefore, the future focus for the Company would be further backward integration.

 

STRATEGY OF THE COMPANY

 

To offer a complementary set of products and to expand the product basket, the Agrochemicals Division has started production of one of the most widely used herbicide – 2,4–D at its Dahej site. The site is backward integrated to manufacture the intermediates MCAA and TCAC. The site is strategically located adjacent to our Chlor–alkali plant. With the shift in the product mix towards herbicides in India, this new project is expected to yield good results for the Division in coming years. The formulation plant at GIDC Panoli, Ankleshwar is also performing at its peak capacity.

 

At the domestic front they have our own sales force in Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat.

 

They have consciously developed our intellectual property rights in the form of trademarks for our products, as well as our logo and corporate name. Our logo and name, viz. “MOL” and “Meghmani” have been registered as trademarks. The Company has 25 registered Trade Marks.

 

They believe that our trademarks have significant value and are important to our brand building efforts and aid in the marketing of our products.

 

In recent years, they have focused on increasing the number of product registrations in countries such as United States of America, Australia, Brazil, Bangladesh, China, Mexico, Malaysia, Turkey, Taiwan, etc. Being a manufacturer and distributor of existing molecules with expired patents, they consider registration as crucial and considerable investments are focused on registrations. Our focus on research and development has also led to an increase in the number of products developed, which has translated, into numerous applications for registrations for our products. To date, 85 exports registrations have been received and applications for 587 registrations have been made in different parts of the world. The Company has 173 registration of Central Insecticides Board (CIB), Faridabad.
