INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

PERFORMANCE

 

The Company achieved a turnover of Rs 3689.140 Millions for the financial year (Previous year Rs.3733.258 Millions). Rubber prices (RSS IV) fluctuated widely between a high of Rs.243 and a low of Rs.184 during FY 2011-12. The average RSS IV price for the industry was Rs.207.83 which is higher by Rs.17.48 as compared to the previous year on a per kilo basis. The average HML Rubber price was Rs.213.83 as against Rs.206.11 of the previous year. Tea industry experienced buoyancy after a long time. During the year, the auction averages registered an upward movement. HML Tea prices in Auction at Rs.77.95 per kilo were higher than Rs.71.10 per kilo of last year. The average price realisation for Tea was Rs.75.96 per kilo (previous year Rs.71.14). The Company has made substantial progress in Bought Operations in Tea and Rubber which has contributed in improving the capacity utilisation of the factories. This has resulted in higher turnover and improved profitability. The Company’s efforts in improving labour productivity through incentive schemes and reorganised work continued to yield positive results. The company made substantial investments in bringing larger areas under replanting in Rubber and infilling in Tea. Also, substantial improvements were made in upgrading the Tea and Rubber factories resulting in lowering costs and improving product quality. They believe these investments would give us long term benefits.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

TEA

 

OVERVIEW

 

Indian Tea production in 2011 was 988 million kgs as compared to 967 million kgs in 2010, an increase of just 21 million kgs. Other major tea producing countries in 2011 were Kenya 377 million kgs, Sri Lanka 328 million kgs, other African Countries 168 million kgs, Vietnam 145 million kgs, Indonesia 57 million kgs and Bangladesh 59 million kgs.

 

Kenya and other African countries due to dry weather conditions up to March 2011 lost around 22 million kgs of crop as compared to 2010. India however gained 21 million kgs of crop during 2011 as compared to previous year, due to ideal weather conditions up to October 2011. Strong consumptional growth, low inventory and normal production has helped in maintaining the prices in the domestic market during the year. Prices in global market were positive and stable due to lower production in Kenya. Cost in India has gone up on account of revision in wages and increase in prices of power and fuel.

 

OUTLOOK

 

India and global tea production is likely to remain stagnant to very insignificant growth in the next two years due to negligible addition of land under tea cultivation in the organized sector. Demand however is expected to increase marginally and thereby creating further shortage and lower inventory levels. Gradual change in the weather conditions may affect the production.

 

RUBBER

 

OVERVIEW

 

The global Natural Rubber production in 2011 showed an increase of 5.5% at 10,977 million kgs compared to 10,406 million kgs in the year 2010. The overall consumption of rubber was 10,920 million kgs in 2011 as against 10,783 million kgs in the previous year, an increase of 1.3%. Fundamentals not being supportive of rubber, with global production rising in recent years while demand has fallen in major consuming countries, have resulted in the price of Natural Rubber touching a 3 year low in the Tokyo Commodity Exchange (TOMCO). Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia who account for 70% of global output have taken drastic measures to stem the fall in prices, which included procurement of rubber at prices above market levels and cut aging trees to curtail 450 million kgs of production.

 

In India, Natural Rubber production during 2011-12 showed an increase of 4.3% at 899 million kgs compared to 862 million kgs in 2010-11. The consumption during the year was 967 million kgs against 948 million kgs in the previous year, an increase of 2%. The rubber prices touched a record high of Rs 243 a kg in April 2011. The prices since then have been showing a downward trend. During the year 30 million kgs of rubber was exported at an average realisation of Rs 214 per kg, while 178 million kgs were imported at Rs 181 per kg.

 

OUTLOOK

 

As production that was planned years ago comes on-stream in non-traditional areas such as north-eastern states, India is likely to produce 942 million kgs of natural rubber in the current year. With consumption expected to be 1006 million kgs and India’s natural rubber imports likely to drop by 27 % to 130 million kgs in the current year, the prices of natural rubber is unlikely to fall from the current levels. Also rubber prices will gain support from Asia-pacific demand mainly from China’s booming automotive, medical, heavy equipment and other industries. However Natural rubber prices could come under pressure due to a fall in crude oil prices, which makes synthetic rubber cheaper. Company’s rubber production would remain at the present levels as the Company had initiated a massive Replanting exercise 5 years ago, and would start yielding results in coming years, in the process making HML as one of the companies having the highest land productivity in the Rubber Plantation Sector.
