INDUSTRY TRENDS

 

2013-14 monsoons were reported to be above normal at over 106% of the long term average. However, the extended rains delayed the sowing for the second season and this was followed by extreme cold wave condition across North India during the winter. The extended monsoon provided a good Kharif revenue growth. However, the Rabi revenues were affected due to the cold waves.

 

Indian farmers have also started actively participating in the grey revolution i.e. use of information and technology in agriculture. The spread of information is improving awareness levels ensuring fair prices and market realization permitting weather forecasts to be made available to farmers. In addition, cooperative farming and contract farming are becoming more widespread, which is improving the market environment for agricultural inputs. There is also immense potential that is being tapped in the areas of aquaculture and agro forestry. Their sales team has actively begun working with farmers in these twosectors.

 

Overall the sector is going through a major shift in trends and the Company is taking steps to re- assess and re-focus their products and marketing efforts.

 

 

OUTLOOK

 

The 2014 monsoons have been extremely delayed and all forecasts indicate that the year shall be a drought year due to the El-Nino phenomenon. The Company has carried out extensive offseason placement during the first quarter in order to place on shelves with Aries products in advance of the season. This ensures that even if a delay in monsoon takes place, their material is available at the retail shelves whenever demand arises. Further liquidation of this first quarter placement is crucial before second quarter sales reach its peak. Hence the Company shall be actively monitoring the progress of monsoon and also increasing its focus on non rain dependant agriculture namely plantations, irrigated districts, perennial crops and river basins, in addition to their focus on aquaculture and farm equipment products will also continue despite the monsoon situation. The Company shall not introduce any new products during the current financial year considering the uncertainty in demand situation.
