MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT
OVERVIEW OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR
The story of
The agricultural
sector has continued its steady growth, estimated to be around 3%, for
‘agriculture and allied activities’, according to the Central Statistical
Organization. The main impetus for growth during 2011-12 emanated from
agriculture, which showed an above-trend growth rate, thanks to a normal
monsoon. The year also witnessed record production in wheat, coarse cereals,
pulses and cotton.
With the
announcement made by the Planning Commission, growth in the agricultural sector
has made up for the shortfall in industrial output.
The second advance
estimates released by the Ministry of Agriculture, state that India is likely
to produce 250.400 Million tonnes of food grain compared to 232.100 Million
tonnes last year, which in itself was considered as an all-time record. Wheat
production is expected to reach 88.300 Million tonnes, pulses 17.300 Million
tonnes, oilseeds 30.500 Million tonnes and rice is estimated at 102.800 Million
tonnes. Production of cotton reached a record of 34.100 Million bales (of 170
kg each) this year.
Various
initiatives launched by the Government of India such as Rashtriya Krishi Vikas
Yojana (launched in 2007) to boost agricultural growth rate are showing
significant results. In addition, the Government of India’s encouragement
towards incentivising states to increase public investment in agriculture,
extending the Green Revolution to eastern states such as West Bengal and Assam,
the National Horticultural Mission to promote fruits and vegetables and the
increased Minimum Support Prices (MSP) for farmers have been contributing to
the holistic development in this sector.
The above
initiatives, coupled with private sector participation, have shown significant
improvement. These are expected to boost the growth of Indian agricultural
sector in 2012.
INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT
The Indian crop
protection market has been growing steadily at nearly 14% during the last 4
years. However, in 2011-12, the crop protection season has slowed down to a
single digit growth rate, mainly due to the uneven spread of the south west
monsoon, relatively less favorable commodity prices and especially critical
cropping condition during the recent Rabi season. It is important to emphasise
that the overall positive market trends in the agricultural sector are fully in
place and the agrochemicals industry is well synchronized to match with them. A
number of reasons have been attributed to the long-term positive market trend,
such as good commodity prices and Minimum Support Price from the Government of
India, that has been helping farmers to choose qualitative inputs as well as
increasing awareness amongst farmers about development in cropping patterns.
Indian
agrochemical companies have been contributing substantially towards generating
awareness among farmers about sound crop protection practices. Diversity of
crops across newer geographical areas has brought in a gainful period for the
agricultural sector and in particular to the crop protection industry.
Newer chemistry is
entering the markets, as companies focus on innovation. Farmers today are more
educated and their acceptance towards newer trends is much higher than ever
before. Quality has become a watchword for farmers, as exports of fruits and
vegetables are increasingly offering price advantages to them. Their power of
choice has also contributed to an ever-expanding range of crop protection
products.
The option for
greater use of herbicides is on account of labour shortage spurred by Mahatma
Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme as also greater employment
opportunities in the manufacturing and service sectors across the country.
There is also a
higher acceptance for new products. Farmers are now well aware about the demand
for quality of produce in fruit and vegetable segments and are increasingly
opting for fungicides, which has remarkably spurred the growth of this segment.
The Public Health
business segment in
Professional Pest
Control (PPC) business also continued its positive growth curve in both commercial
and residential segments. Synthetic pyrethroids are still used for active
treatments of various pests. A latent demand for ‘natural / alternative
products’ is met by unbranded products in the unorganised sector. Termite
control products business keeps growing with the increase in new constructions.
Bedbugs are posing a major threat to households and hospitality industry and
are emerging as a key segment apart from roaches and rodents. The segment grew
overall by 12% as compared to last year.
OPPORTUNITIES AND OUTLOOK
The outlook for
crop protection companies continues to be positive. Innovation-driven companies
will achieve better consolidation in terms of value capture, say experts.
Better quality molecules and the range of products well-suited for high-value
agriculture will ensure growth. Swelling farm incomes, encouraged by good
commodity prices, will further embolden farmers in spending on qualitative and
innovative crop protection products.
Increasing
employment opportunities in rural areas, encouraged by progressive government
policies and actions and coupled with high economic growth, are expected to
influence labour availability for agricultural business. Usage of selective and
non-selective herbicides consequently, will get a major impetus due to this
phenomenon.
Quality-conscious
consumers will impact the market. This will boost fungicides segment and create
opportunities for the crop protection products in Horticultural crop
cultivation.
While the
government has taken proactive steps to give remunerative prices to farmers,
the full benefit will flow to them with the strengthening of procurement and
improved distribution systems.
The Company is
well positioned as an innovation leader in the industry. By implementing a
comprehensive business strategy, the Company is poised strongly in the market
with an extensive pipeline of products that are being developed keeping in
sight the evolving market trends. The Company’s focus on innovation will ensure
that it benefits from the existing growth trends.
With more than
3,500 sales managers and field advisers, as well as a large distribution
network, the Company has the deepest reach in the Indian market. This helps in
providing necessary insight into farmer needs and the capability to respond
accordingly.
An increased
reach, focus on large and medium sized customers as Key Accounts and a growing
PMP segment are some of the main contributors that will help Bayer consolidate
its position in 2012 and onwards. This year the outlook seems bright, as the
Company is reintroducing some earlier products, as also launching new ones.
Bayer is also introducing new tools like the ‘Safety Card’ to help the Company
make further inroads in the PMP segment

BAYER CROPSCIENCE
OPENS NEW MUSTARD BREEDING STATION IN INDIA
February 04, 2013
• New Breeding
Station to boost the company’s seeds business in India
• Focus on breeding
and development of core germplasm for high performing Mustard Hybrids
• Mustard is a strategic crop for Bayer’s global oilseeds business Mumbai, February 04, 2013 – The Seeds Business unit of Bayer CropScience India has inaugurated a new Breeding Station in Palwal, Haryana. Its mission is to develop new varieties of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea), which is closely related to Canola/Rapeseed (Brassica napus).
Bayer CropScience is the global market leader in Canola Hybrid Seeds, with
around 25% global market share. This makes Indian Mustard a strategic crop for
Bayer. India has approximately 6.5 million hectares under mustard cultivation.
Of late, the commercial mustard seed market in India is growing with improved
seed replacement rates and an increasing number of farmers inclining towards
high yielding commercial seeds. The new station will focus on breeding and
development of core germplasm for high performing Mustard Hybrids for both
Indian and global markets.
The breeding station will be spread across ten acres of land and will house
labs, an administrative building and plots for breeding development. Eight
employees stationed at the site will work on developing key trait and breeding
targets in the fields of yield assurance through herbicide tolerance; disease
control; yield enhancement; seed shatter resistance and oil quality.
The research block will have a state-of-the-art pathological laboratory
with growth chambers to screen strains and hybrids for disease tolerance. The
oil and meal quality laboratory will facilitate in-house estimation of fatty
acid profile of oil, oil content and protein composition of meal to serve
specific nutritional benefits or industrial uses. The station will also have
seed cleaning and seed preparation laboratories, a cold room for germplasm
storage and spare labs for future expansion activities, including doubled
haploidy and molecular breeding.
Joerg Rehbein, Head of Bayer CropScience, Indian Subcontinent; Satish Patil,
Country Head – Seeds and Traits,
Bayer CropScience India and Rick Turner, Global Market Head Wheat and
Oilseeds, Bayer CropScience, inaugurated the Mustard Breeding Station in Palwal
on February 1, 2013.
Rape, canola or mustard offer valuable protein as food and feed and are also a
source of high-quality vegetable oil for human consumption, for industrial
lubricants and for biodiesel. Bayer CropScience’s main biotech research center
for oilseeds is located in Ghent (Belgium). Besides India, the company’s key
breeding stations are located in Canada, Europe and Australia.
