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.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

 

The Agro-chemicals Industry grows in tandem with the agricultural sector. Agricultural growth itself is greatly affected by monsoon, especially in the agrarian economies with large tracts of land-mass remaining uncovered with water irrigation systems. Thus, a year of good monsoon is a harbinger of growth for the agrarian economies, including Agro-chemicals Industry. Conversely, the vagaries of monsoon tend to be a spoiler for the sector.

 

As is well known, countries with large and growing population are forever under pressure for higher food produce from their limited land mass; the arable land itself is limited and getting shrunk all over the world in the wake of industrial development and urbanization. The scenario makes it imperative for the stakeholders in the agriculture space to look for and adopt new and more efficient methods of crop protection and of maximizing their yields from the given land resources under cultivation.

 

Agro-chemicals are gaining acceptance worldwide with increasing awareness of their beneficial role in minimizing losses due to pests and thereby improving yields. For the players in the Agro-chemicals Industry, the challenge is to develop new products through research and innovation for more efficient crop protection through safe and efficient products and product applications across broad spectrum of agricultural crops in all parts of the world.

 

 

AGRO-CHEMICALS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

 

Globally, the standout markets are the ones in Asia, Europe and Latin America where the Agro-chemicals business has been reporting consistently high growth, riding on increasing agricultural production and strong commodity prices. Latin America at 13% is the highest growing region; Brazil happens to be the country with highest consumption of Agro-chemicals and has a market size of about US $ 9 Billion.

 

The Industry growth has been around 7-8% globally in recent years, thanks in good part to good monsoons over several years in most markets. In the year 2012, the industry witnessed a growth of 6.4% on nominal terms and 8.9% on real terms and has reached a turnover size of $ 47.3 billion. Along with nonagricultural consumption the industry size is about 53 billion. Global Commodity prices have been ruling firm at high levels since 2012, on the back of growing demand and the situation is unlikely to be any different in 2013, given present levels of global commodity stocks and growing demand. Going by the current scenario of continuing high prices of commodity stocks, the expectation is that 2013 would be a good year for the agrarian economies across the Globe. The Agro-chemicals Industry is likewise expected to fare well in 2013. Over the next 5 years, the Industry is expected to grow at about 5% annually, at which rate it should be a $67 billion Industry by 2017 including nonagricultural consumption.

 

However, the Industry has to contend with some recent developments and challenges confronting it.

 

It thrives on R and D and innovation leading to new products being introduced from time to time. Multi National Companies (MNC) have been significant players driving Research and Development (R & D) initiatives in the evolution of new Agro-chemicals. However, in recent years, Genetically Modified (GM) seeds are gaining acceptance for wider application across crops leading to a shift in focus on the part of the MNC players and the levels of dedicated investments in R & D for Agro-chemicals are coming down. This is an area of concern which the Industry needs to address, impacting the introduction of new active ingredients and new products in the Agro-chemicals space.

 

A fall-out development has been in terms of share of 'off – patent' molecules going up and it now stands at 77% of the total global Agro-chemicals business. 'Generics 'constitute as much as 51% of the Industry size. As a result of the falling levels of R and D spends in Agro-chemicals, the share of 'off – patent' generics in the total business is set to go up further. The scenario of 'off - patent' generics driving volumes in Agro-chemicals business has a positive outlook for countries like China and India where the manufacturing facilities are largely geared towards generic products.

 

The other major issue is the challenge to be and remain an environment-friendly Industry. There is a huge focus worldwide on the responsibility of the manufacturing Industry towards protecting the environment. The Industry response is critical to its survival and growth. The Industry is witnessing serious efforts across the globe in making agro-chemical products environment-friendly i.e. 'green'; an example is Glyphosate variant' Non Tallow Amine Glyphosate ' which in its 'green' form is set to be introduced in the European markets.

 

Indian Agro-chemicals Industry is the 11th largest globally and the sixth fastest growing market across the world. However, consumption of crop protection products in India is among the lowest in the world at 0.6 kg/ha compared to 13 kg/ha in China and 7 kg/ha in US. Crop losses in India due to pest attack are about 28% - among the highest in the world. There is thus a huge scope and potential for wider and intensive use of quality pesticides hand in hand with use of modern farming techniques through education and creating awareness among the farming community.

 

The Indian agricultural industry, post a poor Rabi season in the previous year, witnessed inconsistent monsoon in 2012-13, impacting farm economy across the States in North, Gujarat, Maharashtra and some parts of Karnataka. Cotton acreage fell by nearly 10% over the previous year and Paddy crop was affected due to lower water storage in dams in key states. These conditions materially affecting the Agro-chemicals Industry have been offset to some extent as a result of increased consumption of herbicides and insecticides in Soya and Pulses segments. Overall, the Industry estimated to be around 9000 Crores achieved a modest growth of less than 5%. MNCs continue to maintain their market leadership by virtue of new molecules.

 

The overall food production is estimated to be close to 250 million tons in 2012-13, marginally short of the record level of 252 million tons of food production achieved in 2011-12. Government continues to permit export of wheat and other selected commodities whose stocks are far in excess of the buffer levels of storage. Sustained demand for food crops and high commodity prices for most of the crops (other than cotton) are expected to boost consumption of Agro-chemicals driving the domestic industry towards double-digit growth, under normal monsoon conditions.

 

 

COMPANY PERFORMANCE

 

The focus of the Company in the year 2012-13 has been on improving performance across all aspects of its business operations namely; enhance manufacturing capability and consistency in production, becoming fully compliant with environmental regulations, achieving competitiveness through efficiency in operations and enhance market presence and access leading to accelerated and profitable growth.

 

In the year 2011-12, the Company had to undergo restrictions on capacity utilization due to delay in obtaining environmental clearances; the Company had to incur high spends on effluent treatment in order to meet the environmental regulations; it had to resort to further borrowing to address capital expenditure requirements and the infrastructure requirements for environment management. As a result, the operational performance and financials were hugely impacted.

 

The remedial measures initiated since the latter half of the year 2011 -12 and carried through in the year 2012-13 have led to significant progress in the year 2012-13 in various critical areas of Company performance:

 

Performance of MEEs got stabilized facilitating treatment of effluents at higher volumes of operation at optimal costs and improving quality of bi-product generation.

 

Necessary permissions for enhancing capacity utilization obtained from GPCB for up to a maximum of 75% of the consented capacity on an annual basis as against the earlier restriction, limiting it on monthly basis. This provides opportunity to maximize returns by leveraging economies of scale and availability in peak seasons that offer improved realizations at low working capital requirements.

 

·         Capacity of key large volume molecules enhanced through de-bottlenecking to support higher volumes of production in peak season.

 

·         New Product Propineb launched.

 

·         Made a beginning in European registration with Mancozeb in France.

 

·         Registrations leveraged in Latin American markets in regard to Chlorpyriphos and Acephate.

 

·         The overall portfolio of registrations held by the Company increased to 296 on 16 Products spread over 54 countries (183 unique product / country combination).

 

·         A new subsidiary set up in Mexico to cater to Central American markets

 

These initiatives contributed to Production Volumes going up by 37% over 2011-12 and Sales Turnover by 44% (Rs.5150.000 Millions as against Rs.3580.000 Millions in 2011-12). The share of export sales in total turnover rose to 59% against its share of 52% in 2011-12, with higher thrust on exports.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

For the year 2012, it is estimated that the growth in fungicides sales, a key segment of Sabero business, had outpaced the growth of the Industry (fungicides growth estimated at about 11% plus as against the industry growth of about 9%). It is expected that this trend of higher growth of fungicides is to continue in the coming years.

 

China - the dominant manufacturing country - is in the throes of regulatory changes calling for stricter compliance with environment management issues. This is expected to push upwards the cost of manufacture of Chinese agrochemical products in the global markets.

 

The Chinese currency Yuan is seen to be appreciating and would add to the cost of their products, thereby impacting on their competitiveness in global markets. This is expected to benefit the Indian agro-chemical Industry, in general.

 

The initiatives taken by Sabero over the preceding couple of years, more so in 2012-13 and its strategic plans going forward are expected to put the Company in a position to capitalize on this opportunity significantly in the markets of its presence.
