INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb imports, especially gold, kicked in.  The current account deficit, the excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $ 5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest data suggests the government may achieve the target.

 

India was ranked 94th among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.

 

India’s services sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction, according the HSBC survey.

 

$53 million estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter, according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.

 

Rs.4080 million worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260 million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.

 

India aims to earn Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

OVERVIEW OF AGRICULTURAL SECTOR

 

Agriculture is an important sector of the Indian economy, accounting for 14% of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). More than 50% of India’s population is dependent on agriculture. This sector also serves as a source of raw material for a large number of industries. Therefore, accelerating the growth of agricultural production is important, not only to achieve the overall GDP target of 8% during the 12th Plan and meet the rising demand for food, but also to increase incomes of those dependent on agriculture and ensure inclusiveness. As per the latest estimates, agriculture and allied sectors are estimated to grow at 1.8% during 2012-13 as against 3.6% during the last year.

 

2012-13 was a challenging year for Indian Agriculture. Uneven southwest monsoon in most parts of India resulted in reduced production during the Kharif (main) cropping season. In its 3rd advance estimate for crop year 2012-13 (June-May), India’s Ministry of Agriculture reported an overall food grain production of 255 Million Tonnes, four Million Tonnes less than last year’s peak output of 259 Million Tonnes.

 

Important crops, like Rice, saw substantial growth in production. As per the 3rd advance estimates, Rice production in 2012-13 stood at 104 Million Tonnes, the second highest fi gures on record, despite the delayed monsoon last year and Wheat production stood at 93.6 Million Tonnes. On the other side, Cotton and Millet acreages reduced due to unfavorable commodity prices and climatic conditions, thus shifting farmer preference towards lucrative cash crops such as Cluster bean.

 

Various initiatives launched by the Government of India, such as the National Food Security Mission, supported by other programs and schemes and a conducive price policy regime, helped achieve a target of 20 Million Tonnes of additional food grains production during the 11th Five Year Plan.

 

To further improve agricultural growth, the Economic Survey 2013 underlines the need for stable and consistent policies where markets play an appropriate role, private investment in infrastructure is stepped up, food price, food stock management and food distribution improves and a predictable trade policy is adopted for agriculture.

 

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in retail allowed by the government is expected to pave the way for investment in new technology and marketing of agricultural produce in India. Fast agricultural growth is vital for ensuring jobs, incomes and food security in India. The priority for the government will be to fight high inflation by reducing the fiscal impetus to demand as well as by focusing on incentivising food production, through measures other than price supports.

 

The above initiatives, coupled with private sector participation are expected to boost the growth of Indian Agriculture in 2013.

 

 

INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT

 

The global Seeds and Crop Protection market continued to show dynamic development in 2012. Demand for high-value seeds rose considerably and the global Crop Protection market also posted signifi cant growth.

 

In India, the Crop Protection and Hybrid Agri Seeds market have grown steadily over the last 5 years, at a growth rate of 14% and 15% respectively. However, in 2012-13, growth in the Crop Protection segment slowed down to an estimated single digit rate of about 5% and the Hybrid Agri Seeds market recorded a de-growth by about 1%. This was mainly due to delayed and uneven distribution of southwest monsoon and crop shifts (mainly Cotton). But long term trends in Indian Agriculture continue to be positive for the Agrochemical and Seed Industry.

 

Growing food demand with limited farmland availability, attractive commodity prices, growth in horticulture and floriculture industries and increasing farmer awareness about developments in cropping patterns and use of agrochemicals, will promote the use of agri-inputs to increase productivity.

 

Limited mechanisation of farm operations, preference for non-agricultural work by younger generation, coupled with the impact of MGNREGS (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme) on availability of farm labour, has led to a shortage in farm labour. To compensate the scarcity and high cost of labour, farmers will require innovative agri-inputs (in particular herbicides) to ensure remunerative and sustainable farming.

 

Rising demand from consumer and retail companies for good quality farm products and growth of the organised retail sector is increasing quality consciousness among Indian farmers, which in turn is resulting in growing demand for fungicides.

 

Increasingly, Agrochemical and Seed companies are stepping up their efforts on farm extension services to enhance awareness about the benefits of Crop Protection products and hybridisation in major field crops among the farming community. This is supported by increased attention to farming needs by the government and an ever-increasing, progressive farmer population that is focusing on increasing productivity by adopting innovative farming solutions.

 

 

REVIEW OF FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE

 

The Company’s Revenue from Operation (Net) increased by 19.94%, from Rs. 22723.000 Millions in 2011-12 to Rs. 27253.000 Millions in 2012-13. Profit before Exceptional Items and Tax increased by 48.11%, from Rs. 2623.000 Millions in 2011-12 to Rs. 3855.000 Millions in 2012-13.

 

Bayer CropScience, one of the leading innovation-driven companies in its industry, offers products and customer-oriented solutions to farmers for the production of high-quality food, feed and fibre. Their goal is to raise agricultural productivity through innovation. Their strategy for future growth is built on four key elements: enhancing the Crop Protection portfolio, increasing customer centricity along the entire value chain, leading the way in innovation, and expanding their Seeds business.

 

They aim to enhance their Crop Protection portfolio by innovating and focusing on integrated Crop Protection solutions. They have phased out all WHO Class I Insecticides from their portfolio since 2011. In line with their commitment to sustainable agriculture, Crop Protection products in this category are being replaced with new, user-friendly and more environmentally compatible formulations. Key focus areas of the Company’s global research and development are: yield improvement, stress tolerance and improving plant health. Through their innovative products and services, the Company has established itself as a comprehensive provider of ‘Seed to Shelf’ solutions. In the year 2012-13, Bayer CropScience successfully grew its innovation portfolio with flagship Crop Protection products like

Nativo, Confidor, Regent and Fame, as well as launched new Hybrid Seeds in Rice (Arize 6444 Gold), Mustard (ProAgro 5121) and Millet (ProAgro 7701 Gold, ProAgro - 9450).

 

Wheat and Rice are the two most important staple food crops not just in India but also globally. With a steadily increasing population, agricultural output will have to proportionately increase to feed the growing population. Neither farmers, nor governments nor manufacturers of agricultural inputs can achieve this on their own. That’s why the Company is investing in setting up research collaborations all over the world to drive research into Wheat and Rice.

 

Their comprehensive approach comprises of collaborations with agri-input suppliers along the entire value chain, from the seed to the consumer. They include regional and local projects to help millions of farmers improve the production of staple foods. Among these projects are 240 Food Chain Partnerships in 30 countries for major fruit and vegetable crops. They are working with their partners at the interfaces between biology and chemistry – and between science and farming – to develop tomorrow’s solutions.

 

In 2012, Food Chain Partnership projects in India were carried out with 32 leading players in Food Processing, Exports and Food Retail. The project has benefitted more than 68,000 farmers in the year. They aim to further strengthen their customer focus along the entire value-added chain. This involves boosting their commitment to farmers and improving processes in distribution and field advisory. In 2012, a global Food Chain Partnership project has been signed between the Company and Jain Irrigation to produce high-quality white onion and mango.

 

The Company has also been implementing many exceptional business excellence initiatives. These initiatives are giving us deeper knowledge of markets that are contributing actively to increasing the business and adding to their competitive edge.

 

The Environmental Science business maintained its position as the market leader in the areas of public health and Professional Pest Control (PPC). The Company continued to sponsor major symposia and seminars to promote general awareness, product knowledge and international trends in vector-borne disease management. These activities helped the Company increase its reach amongst ‘Local Bodies’, thus reflecting a growth in their vector control products, despite a limited product portfolio. Further, the Company also made inroads into new categories, like Poultry – helping its core brand in the category, “Bilarv” grow well. One of the biggest achievements of the Company was the approval from TAC – Ministry of Health to use Difl ubenzuron (Bilarv) in “National Vector Borne Disease Control Program” as larvicides for both polluted and non-polluted water.

 

Under the Environmental Science business, the Company also started a rural project under “Rural Hygiene” in one of the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh to protect and improve the quality of farmer’s ecosystem.

 

 

OPPORTUNITIES AND OUTLOOK

 

The world’s population is expected to reach 9 Billions by 2050. As population increases, natural resources will become scarcer, mainly due to insufficient arable land reserves, increasing urbanisation and progressive climate change. The importance of sustainable agriculture and of higher crop yields and quality in producing sufficient food on a limited amount of land will increase in years to come. Therefore, the outlook for companies providing Crop Protection, Seeds and other agri-inputs continues to be positive.

 

Innovation-driven companies will achieve better consolidation in terms of value capture, say experts. Better quality molecules, hybrid seeds and the range of other 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 inputs for achieving higher yields, better quality and a more favorable return on investment. Increasing employment opportunities in rural areas, encouraged by progressive government policies, coupled with high economic growth, are expected to influence labour availability for the agricultural sector. Usage of selective and non-selective herbicides will get a major impetus due to this phenomenon. Quality-conscious consumers will impact the market. This will boost the fungicides segment and create opportunities for Crop Protection products in Horticultural crop cultivation.

 

With the global acquisition of AgraQuest, Bayer CropScience has added bio-based products “Biologics” as an integrated part to its Pest Control solutions. The Company and farmers in particular will benefit in mid and long term from these integrated offers of Crop Protection and Biologics.

 

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 3,000 trained farm advisors and sales team as well as a large distribution network, the Company has a deep reach in the Indian market. This helps in getting necessary insights into farmer needs and deliver customised solutions to farmers. The Company launched “Indigro”, an internal strategic initiative, to align its planning with long-term trends in agriculture and design a comprehensive go-to-market execution plan to consolidate its leadership position in Crop Protection market with a focus on maximizing return on sales and marketing investments and successful launch of new products.
