OPERATIONS
During the year, the
net sales increased from Rs.6616.100 Millions in the previous year to
Rs.7463.800 Millions. Domestic sales turnover rose to Rs.4429.300 Millions as
against Rs.4051.400 Millions in the previous year. Export turnover increased
from Rs.2564.700 Millions in the previous year to Rs.3034.500 Millions in the
year. The Company’s profit before tax in the year Rs.302.400 Millions as
against Rs.218.400 Millions in the previous year.
Erratic and
delayed monsoon and drought like situation in several important States
adversely impacted farming and agrochemicals consumption. The Company, however,
increased its sales turnover in domestic as well as export markets.
NEW PROJECTS/EXPANSIONS/IMPROVEMENTS
The Company introduced a systemic broad spectrum insecticide under the brand
name ‘Ultimate’. This is a novel silica based granular formulation which is
environment friendly as well as user friendly. This product is being launched
in different geographies in a gradual manner.
Another product under
the brand name ‘Celstar’ – a plant growth regulator used mainly in mango was
also introduced in the year. This product has received good market response and
is poised to grow in future.
Several
insecticide products grabbed the market vacated by Endosulfan. Some of these
products form part of the Company’s product basket whereas a few others were
earlier dealt with by the Company. The Company has taken initiatives for
increasing focus on such products with a view to make up for the lost
Endosulfan business.
The Company continues its
efforts in the areas of product improvement and process improvement for
enhancing yields, cost reduction measurers, reducing effluents and effluent
treatment costs and also for staying innovative and competitive in the market.
The Company also continues to
focus on energy conservation and energy cost reduction.
OUTLOOK
The agriculture
sector in India continues to receive focussed attention from governments,
government bodies, banks, financial institutions and other agencies and
authorities. Private sector has been steadily investing in farming and agro
based business. Farm produces fetch decent return to farmers. All these factors
are contributing to growth of agriculture. With normal monsoon forecast for the
ensuing season, the near future outlook for the agrochemicals industry and the
Company appears reasonably good. In the backdrop of loss of Endosulfan business
over the past two years, the Company directed its efforts on promoting other
products and has developed and introduced a number of new products. The Company
continues to focus on growth of branded products and exports.
MANAGEMENT
DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENTS
The Company is
engaged in the business of agrochemicals comprising insecticides, weedicides,
fungicides, acaricides, fumigants and rodenticides. The Company’s product
basket also includes soil and plant nutrition products, bio-pesticides and
plant growth promoters.
The industry
comprises of diverse players ranging from small and medium ones dealing in
generic molecules to large multinationals with high-priced new generation
molecules and patented products. The Indian industry has built up large
capacities and has many manufacturers, especially in formulation business and has
a fairly high level of competition.
Among the
agrochemicals, insecticides have dominated consumption pattern in India.
Cotton, rice, wheat, soybean, pulses, plantation crops, fruits and vegetables
are the major consumers of agrochemicals. Food shortages, increasing food
prices and growing concern for food security have underlined the importance of
food crop farming. Agrochemicals play an important role in farming and food
security of a densely populated country such as India.
The fortunes of
the agrochemicals industry are interwoven with the fortunes of agriculture. In
spite of relatively slower growth rate of agriculture in India the farmers are
getting increasingly higher price for their farm produce and as a result, they
are able to spend more on agricultural inputs, including agrochemicals. This is
the reason for decent growth rate witnessed by the industry. The seasonal
nature of the business and the climatic uncertainties require the industry to
carry a large inventory for long periods. Domestic market has been attracting
attention of multinationals who visualise good growth opportunity. The domestic
industry has been witness to a steady increase in market share by new
generation and patented molecules.
Supply of high
quality products at competitive prices, development of new
products/formulations and large investment in product registration are emerging
as key success factors.
The domestic
industry is continuously striving to increase exports by providing quality
products at competitive prices. Over the years, India has emerged as a
significant supplier of agrochemicals in the international market.
Among the
agrochemicals, herbicides & fungicides have grown at a faster pace as
compared to insecticides. This is in tune with the global trends. The Company
plans to capture this change in demand patterns by strengthening its herbicides
and fungicides segments by introducing new products and formulations.
World agrochemical
market has witnessed an increase in the consumption of agrochemicals especially
in crops like rice, soybean, wheat, plantations, vegetables, horticulture and
pulses. The Company undertakes crop focused programmes to increase and
diversify its reach and presence. Increased field work across many crops
reduces dependence on any particular crop segment and yields increased
advantage from the existing product portfolio.
SEGMENT-WISE PERFORMANCE AND
OUTLOOK:
The Company’s
domestic sales were Rs.4429.300 Millions in 2012-13 as compared to Rs.4051.400
Millions in the previous year. Exports stood at Rs.3034.500 Millions in 2012-13
as compared to Rs.2564.700 Millions in the previous year.
FINANCIAL
PERFORMANCE AND ANALYSIS:
The net sales for the year are Rs.7463.800
Millions as compared to Rs.6616.100 Millions in the previous
year. The profit before tax is Rs.302.400 Millions for the year
as compared to Rs.218.400
Millions in the previous year. The profit after tax and exceptional item has
grown from Rs.156.100
Millions in the previous year to Rs.214.200 Millions in the year.
Better working capital management has helped the Company in reducing borrowings
and finance costs.
