COMPANY BACKGROUND

 

Subject was incorporated on 8th December 1949. The company is presently engaged in the business of production and sale of agricultural inputs, namely, chemicals and hybrid seeds. The company’s corporate office is located in Mumbai. It has a chemical production unit at Silvassa, hybrid seeds processing and drying units at Hyderabad and breeding stations at Banglore and Hyderabad. During the previous year hybrid seeds processing and drying operations at Bellary and Eluru were shifted to Hyderabad.

 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

During the financial year the Company posted a Profit After Tax (PAT) of Rs. 501.900 Millions for F.Y. 2011-12 compared to PAT of Rs. 428.300 Millions for F.Y. 2010-11. Pre-tax profits are also higher at Rs. 601.400 Millions (previous year Rs. 502.900 Millions). As are aware, during the last financial year, there was a one-time asset impairment charge due to the diminution in the value of assets of the Company’s facility at Eluru, Andhra Pradesh, which resulted in a charge of Rs.121.700 Millions to their expenses. Excluding this restructuring impact, the PBT for the year would have been lower by 4% and the PAT would have been lower by 9%. Earning per share for the year stands at Rs. 29.07(previous year Rs. 24.81).

 

Net Turnover for the year at Rs. 3679.800 Millions, compared to Rs. 3582.600 Millions for the previous F.Y., grew by 3% primarily driven by a 13% growth in the chemistry business. Sale for corn seeds for F.Y. 2011-12 has remained flat at Rs. 2673.600 Millions. The pressures of increasing costs and competition have had an impact on this year’s lower operating results.

 

OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

The Company’s seeds’ sales was maintained at almost the same level (Rs. 2693.400 Millions in F.Y. 2010-11 vis-à-vis Rs. 2673.600 Millions in F.Y. 2011-12).

 

The Company’s Glyphosate sales increased by 13% from Rs. 889.200 Millions in F.Y. 2010-11 to Rs. 1006.200 Millions in F.Y. 2011-12 despite the pricing challenge which continues to exist in the glyphosate business. The Company’s product continues to garner a quality premium. This business has seen healthy growth in volumes of 18% on account of prolonged rains, increasing cost of labor for manual weeding and proactive customer related campaigns.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

Agriculture is critical for India. Almost 700 million people depend on it. Strong agricultural growth over a decade or two, will go a long way in eradicating chronic poverty from rural India. Over the five years to 2011-12, the Indian agriculture sector has grown at 3.4% per year on average, (higher average is driven by 7% growth in F.Y. 2010-11) much below the 11th plan target of 4%. Going forward, it will be essential for India to build a productive, competitive, and diversified agricultural sector and facilitate rural, non-farm entrepreneurship and employment. Encouraging policies that promote competition in the overall agricultural value chain will ensure that farmers receive a better deal and are enabled to improve their lives. Successful farmers and farming are the most important links in India’s quest to eradicate poverty, achieve lasting food security and sustainable land use as well as to contain food prices.

 

The strategic plan to improve returns from agriculture in India could be thought of in two separate but linked directions – “On-Farm” initiatives and “Off-Farm” initiatives. On- Farm refers to all initiatives related to improving the farmers yield from his patch of land – enabling him to have higher quantity and better quality of produce. Off-Farm, on the other hand, refers to all initiatives that help the farmer “preserve” that yield, reduce wastage and get a higher “price” for his produce. In India both these directions are important and are ripe for policy interventions.

 

One of the most important ways in which On-Farm productivity and quality can be improved, is to enable the farmer to access the latest agricultural technology – to help them produce more and better food, sustainably and at lower per-acre costs. This includes access to better seeds, crop protection measures, fertilizers, and agronomic methods. It also includes seed varieties and agronomic traits developed using modern breeding methods and plant biotechnology. These inputs, along with training and integrated crop management, can boost agriculture productivity in a sustainable manner and could enable India to become a major agricultural power in the world.

 

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE

 

Growing More Food and Plant Biotechnology

 

By 2050 the world’s farmers will need to produce 70 percent more food on less land than ever before. Plant biotechnology is being used to create higher-yielding varieties that can help farmers meet this goal. During the period 1996 to 2010, biotech traits have added 97.5 million tonnes of soybeans, 159.4 million tonnes of corn, and 6.1 million tonnes of canola to global production levels. This adds up to an additional 263 million tonnes of food crops produced on the same amount of land.

 

In 2011, 16.7 million farmers worldwide grew 160 million hectares of biotech crops, 90 percent of which were small holder farmers in 19 developing countries, according to the International Service for the Acquisition of Agri-Biotech Applications’ (ISAAA) new Global Status of Biotech Crops report.

 

These record highs for biotech adoption demonstrate that, given the opportunity, farmers recognize the advantages plant science technologies can offer.

 

With the majority of biotech crops being grown by small holder farmers in developing countries, plant biotechnology is playing a significant role in helping small-scale farmers improve their incomes and quality of life while employing sustainable agricultural practices.

 

“For the world’s farmers, biotech crops offer the opportunity to produce more food and improve incomes while being good stewards of their land,” according to Denise Dewar, Executive Director for Plant Biotechnology at CropLife International. “For over a decade, farmers with access to plant biotechnology have enjoyed reduced input costs, increased crop productivity and higher incomes, which has led to improvements in the home, and for families and communities.”

 

With more than 90 percent of farmers re-purchasing biotech seed year after year – coupled with the increase in global biotech crop acreage – it’s obvious that farmers recognize multiple benefits from plant biotechnology. Global biotech crop acreage is at a record high and governments worldwide have continued to support the benefits their farmers, the environment, and larger populations receive from plant biotechnology.

 

Agrochemicals have become an integral part of the development process of agriculture and the use is expected to increase manifold in India. Indian agriculture is still very dependent on traditional practices and its insecticides, pesticides and herbicides usage is still very low. Also globally, herbicides represent the largest group within agrochemicals, while in India this is still not the case. Chemical weed control is slowly becoming one of the more important and reliable measures in weed management systems in India.

 

In India and globally, glyphosate is the most significant herbicide product and is preferred by farmers because it is relatively safe and very effective. This market in India is extremely competitive with 150+ manufacturers and many more brands being available. Most of these players import their requirement of the intermediate product from countries such as China. Unfortunately many of these products are also of questionable and inconsistent quality. This market is also characterized by extreme price competition. Monsanto has a strong market position based on its quality and brand reputation.

Food Security Act: After a long history of widespread malnutrition and starvation for many, the people of India will soon have, for the first time, the constitutional right to food. As has been proposed, 46 percent rural and 28 percent urban poor will have the right to 7 Kg per person per month of food grain at the rate of Rs. 3, Rs. 2 and Re.1 per kg rice, wheat and coarse cereals, respectively. The rest of the targeted rural and urban poor will get 3 kg of food grains every month at half of its Minimum Support Price (MSP). This policy intervention means that Indian famers will need to produce even greater quantities of food at lower costs per unit – access to the right seeds and technology can help. The Company is proud to be a part of this effort to enable their farmers progress and thus becoming India’s pride.

 

 

 

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

 

Dekalb® Hybrid Maize Seeds

 

Farm labour shortage, changing weather patterns, and growing demand for animal protein will drive future growth of maize in India for the Company. As less than a third of India’s corn currently comes from hybrid seeds, the Company sees strong growth potential in this market. Maize is cultivated on ~7 - 8 million hectares in India, with significant scope to increase penetration of higher-yielding hybrid seeds, from current levels of less than 50%.

 

The Company’s maize seeds are sold under the Dekalb® brand name and are well established within the farming community.

 

The Company, during the year, launched two new hybrids (9106 and 8101) which helped grow volumes in the Northern region and in the high volume markets of Central and South India. DK9081, the highest yielding corn seeds sold by the Company, has done exceedingly well and additional quantities were placed based on farmers’ response and overall momentum for the hybrid.

 

One of the phenomena observed during the year was that certain agricultural commodities such as Cotton and pulses enjoyed high prices and thus were more attractive to farmers, resulting in significant acres shifting to Cotton and pulses in Karnataka, AP and Maharashtra amongst other States.

 

During the year, various initiatives such as Radio shows, channel schemes and other attractive farmers’ schemes, helped to create a demand for the Company’s key hybrids. Dr. Dekalb Farm Care (their Service Platform and Direct-To-Farmer Connect initiative) was extended to more than 20,000 farmers across Bihar to help them choose the right hybrid, manage their crops better and address their queries – thus creating long term brand goodwill and more importantly – lasting value to the farmers.

 

This platform has also helped them in seeking pre-season purchase intent and in-season progress information on hybrid preferences in real time.

 

The competition has also been very aggressive through their own field activities and has exerted huge pressure through a massive stock push and lucrative channel schemes. They are also introducing new hybrids in the Bihar market. They are monitoring competitive activities closely and will take appropriate action as needed.

 

KHARIF SEASON OVERVIEW

 

• The rainfall pattern of deficient rain and then concentrated rain in patches has resulted in increased disease pressure in many parts of Karnataka and Maharashtra.

 

• The savings from consolidation of manufacturing operations continue to accrue which has helped keep operating expenses down and inspite of inflationary trends, steep fuel prices increases and devaluation of Indian currency; the operating expenses have been maintained at a similar level as compared to previous year.

 

• Overall judicious placement, efficient tracking of secondary sales and managing the expected returns, has resulted in better operational and business efficiencies.

 

• Company’s hybrid corn seed products have done very well in many important markets and have grown by more than 17% in key markets like Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh and Punjab. In Gujarat, the volumes have doubled in one year.

 

• The Company sold over 4 million litres of Roundup® during the Kharif Season.

 

• The launch of two new hybrids (9106 and 8101) helped grow volumes in the North Region and in the high volume markets of Central and South India. The growth in seed volume for Karnataka was around 13% over the previous Kharif season.

 

RABI SEASON OVERVIEW

 

• Key Rabi markets of Bihar, Bangladesh, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal and even parts of UP have performed very well.

 

• For the development of Rabi market in UP, the Company entered into a Public-Private Partnership with the State Government of Uttar Pradesh.

 

ROUNDUP® (HERBICIDE)

 

Roundup® is the brand name of a systemic, broad-spectrum herbicide produced by the Company and contains the active ingredient glyphosate.

 

The Company has maintained the price of Roundup® inspite of the pricing headwinds in Roundup®. During the year, there were dry spells in many geographies, including Maharashtra and Karnataka, due to which the weed pressure was low and hence lower demand for Glyphosate.

 

The Rabi season was drier than normal in some key geographies which resulted in lower weed pressure on the farmlands and hence lower spraying of herbicides. Thus, Roundup® sales has broadly remained at around 1.4 million litres in Rabi.

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW

 

During the year, turnover is Rs. 3679.800 Millions which is 3% higher than the previous year. The sale for chemistry is Rs. 1006.200 Millions vs. Rs. 889.200 Millions for previous year which is an increase of 13%. The volume reported in chemistry business is 5648 KL which is 18% increase over previous year. The rise in farm labour cost and continuous decrease in availability of farm labour has helped the volume growth in their chemistry business. Sale for corn seeds for F.Y. 2011-12 (Rs. 2673.600 Millions) has stayed at almost the same level as the last financial year (Rs. 2693.400 Millions). In spite of a lean Kharif season, a bumper Rabi season boosted the corn performance.

 

The operating expenses (including Depreciation and Employee Expenses) for F.Y. 2011-12 is Rs. 1648.100 Millions which is almost at same level inspite of severe inflationary pressures seen during the year. Interest expenses have gone up from Rs. 2.800 Millions to Rs. 12.800 Millions owing to a provision made for interest on prior year income taxes.

 

The other incomes for F.Y. 2011-12 are Rs. 151.500 Millions vis-à-vis Rs. 83.500 Millions during the last year. This was mainly due to liquidation of excess inventory which got converted into higher cash balance.

 

Profit before tax for F.Y. 2011-12 is Rs.601.400 Millions, up from the profit before tax for the last financial year i.e. Rs.502.900 Millions. During the last financial year, there was a one-time asset impairment charge of Rs. 121.700 Millions due to the diminution in the value of assets of the Company’s facility at Eluru, Andhra Pradesh.

 

Profit after tax for the year was Rs. 501.900 Millions vis-à-vis Rs. 428.300 Millions in F.Y. 2010-11.

 

These results have been delivered despite the intense competitive pressures on Roundup® Glyphosate herbicides as well as on maize seeds, and also severe inflationary pressures.

 

OUTLOOK

 

There can be no advancement of the Indian economy into the league of the fastest growing nations unless Indian agriculture becomes a part of the growth. The key to satisfactory growth in Indian agriculture now lies more in improving productivity than in increasing acreage or irrigation cover of arable land. While efforts are required for continuing agricultural research to develop high-yielding, pest-resistant and all weather varieties, there are some critical issues leading to poor productivity.

 

Technological interventions and deployment can be a catalyst and is one of the powerful solutions to help farmers feed the world’s growing population – e.g. reduced pesticide usage, improved lives – in short, made farming sustainable. Sustainable agriculture requires focus on increasing agricultural productivity and improving the social well-being of resource-poor farmers; technological interventions, and finally, protecting and even improving the environment through better utilization of input resources.

 

They expect that the corn seed market would continue to grow in the current year as well. This growth will primarily come through conversion to hybrids by farmers across the country. The Company is working towards improving its share in the market through various initiatives enumerated earlier.

 

Farm labour availability and cost continue to pose challenges to the growers in India. This, along with improving awareness about chemical weeding usage in newer crops and geographies as well as non agricultural usage, augurs well for the herbicide industry and the Company. As shared earlier, the Glyphosate market is also expected to grow in double digits in the medium term.

 

The Company, through its continuous breeding research efforts, new product offerings, effective sales and marketing strategies, a strong brand, far reaching distribution infrastructure and investments in people development, is hopeful of maintaining its performance going forward.

 

Roundup® remains the brand of choice when it comes to controlling weeds to the roots for a longer span of time not just in tea plantations and non cropped areas but also for general weed control in railways, industries, around roads and highways etc. The Indian Railways has used Roundup® at Hazrat Nizamuddin station (Delhi). Roundup® was sprayed on the railway tracks resulting in successful elimination of weeds. The weed-free rail tracks testify Roundup®’s long-lasting effects. The Coimbatore Municipal Corporation, in association with Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, has launched a program called ‘Clean Coimbatore’. The core idea was to eradicate or control urban proliferation of weeds to keep the city clean and free from parthenium allergy (a skin allergy caused because of the ‘parthenium weed’).
