OPERATIONS
CROP PROTECTION
The financial year 2014-15 witnessed many swings in weather pattern throughout the year, leading to tough market conditions for agri input businesses. The south-west monsoon turned out to be unfavourable, with a delayed set-in coupled with deficient rainfall all through the season. This set back Kharif operations in many parts of the country, impacting sowing of key crops such as paddy, cotton, oilseeds etc. Both the temporal and spatial distribution of rainfall was poor, affecting the acreage as well as crop yields for Kharif. While the cumulative average south-west monsoon was deficient by 12%, late rains raised the hope of a good Rabi crop. Though the Rabi season started on a promising note, weather disturbances in the form of frequent unseasonal rains and hailstorms impacted the quality and quantum of standing crops across the western, northern and central parts of the country.
The shortfall in monsoon led to a 7% drop in Kharif grain output. According to estimates by the Government, the country’s grain production is expected to decline by 3.2% to 257.07 million tonnes in the 2014-15 crop year. Agriculture and allied sectors’ growth is estimated at 1.1% this fiscal, down from 3.7% in the previous year, due to decline in production of food grains and oilseeds.
Despite challenging market conditions, the branded Domestic Formulation Business registered a growth during the year. Keeping to the proposition of offering relevant solutions to the Indian farming community, the Company introduced four new products in the domestic market. These are:
HUNK, first time ever launch of a high purity product. It is a solution for larvae and sucking pests in paddy and other crops.
ORIGIN, first ever insecticide and fungicide combination product in India, it is a solution for leaf folder and sheath blight in paddy crop.
DUTON, first time ever launch at the same time as the inventor Company, a post emergent herbicide for paddy crop.
BLEND, a unique fungicide combination product for control of downy mildew disease in grapes.
New sales Units including regional, area sales offices and territories were created to cater to the needs of customers more effectively and increasing reach and penetration. The sales team has optimally utilized available resources during the year in achieving growth targets. The initiatives introduced by the Company during previous years, such as EAGLE (Expansion and Aggressive Growth through Leadership and Excellence), RKK (Rallis Kisan Kutumb) and SAMPARK have now become a way of life for the sales and marketing team and are being interlinked for more effective results. These drive market access and customer connect activities. The RKK data is being utilized in a major way in establishing farmer connect. Channel finance and channel partner studies have been introduced during the year for channel optimization. E-Bandhan, for enhancing connect between Rallis dealers and the Company, has been introduced.
The International Business Division grew during 2014-15, contributing to 28% of overall revenues of the Company. This performance is noteworthy in the wake of varying demands in the different crop protection segments during the year. A number of registrations were obtained during the year and the International Business Division commercialized two products in different geographies. Contract Manufacturing Business also grew, led by higher volume sales in new geographies. The Company’s effort to augment its Contract Manufacturing Business is receiving encouraging response, and several evaluations are under progress. One new product was also commercialized during the year.
NON-PESTICIDE PORTFOLIO (NPP)
The Company’s efforts in building a Non-Pesticide Portfolio to cater to the changing needs of the farmers and agriculture, gained momentum during the year. The share of NPP sales was 33% of the total revenue. The Non-Pesticide Portfolio gives an opportunity to the Company to serve the emerging needs of the farming community, by leveraging its traditional connection with the farmers. This enables the farmers to look at the Company as a solution for all their agriculture related needs.
During the year, the Company has taken several steps to strengthen the non-pesticide portfolio business; one of them is appointing dedicated Managers to focus on this business.
SEEDS AND PLANT GROWTH NUTRIENTS: The Seeds business, largely driven by the subsidiary Company Metahelix Life Sciences, performed well during the year. Sales grew by 37.9%, to ` 309.99 crores during 2014-15, while profits, at Rs. 165.400 Million, rose by 79.3%. This business recorded impressive gains in the market share, particularly in hybrid paddy and maize seeds.
In Plant Growth Nutrient (PGN) business, the Company’s strategy is to identify, create, establish and scale up brands quickly, for achieving profitable and sustainable growth.
The Company has launched a new solution AMPLUS and AMPLUS ACTIVE. It is an innovative and modern technology HYT™ based microbial bio product and helps in enhancing the soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, thus decomposing organic wastes and thereby stimulating plant growth.
The Company offers several products across all the sub categories of PGN. Ralligold, Tata Bahaar, Tata Upahaar RDS, Solubor, Tracel and Gluco Beta have become prominent brands in the Indian PGN segment. During 2014-15, the Company successfully established and scaled up the sales of its new organic product Gluco Beta. This was possible through use of innovative marketing approaches.
AGRI SERVICES: Agri Services portfolio comprises the organic manure product GeoGreen, Samrudh Krishi (SK) initiative, MoPu (More Pulses) initiative and agri implements. During the financial year, sales of GeoGreen organic manure increased significantly, albeit on a small base. SK initiative continued to make good progress on grapes, with grapes farmer enrolment registering handsome improvement. The MoPu initiative was extended to Madhya Pradesh in addition to Maharashtra and Karnataka. While both SK and MoPu initiatives continue to add significant value to farmers, climate related uncertainties especially towards the latter stage of crop, affected the final output. Our Agri implements presence currently consists of sprayers. During the year, they have introduced state-of-the-art battery and power sprayers for test marketing in a few key markets.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY STRUCTURE
Agricultural production needs to significantly increase to meet the demands of the growing world population. Some estimates put this target as doubling the quantity of food production by 2050. With a limitation of bringing more land under agriculture, most of the additional production will need to come from higher crop yields. This increased output will also be necessary to provide feedstock for the rising biofuel consumption.
Experts believe that developing countries and emerging economies will play an increasingly important role in agricultural markets in the near future. Higher consumption of agricultural products is also being driven by the developing countries, where per capita incomes are rising, leading to increased consumption of protein rich foods, including meat and dairy products.
As per FAO reports, without agrochemicals, food production will decline, many fruits and vegetables would be in short supply and prices would rise. Some 20 to 40 percent of the world’s potential crop production is already lost annually, being affected by weeds, pests and diseases.
India has the latent potential to become a predominant player in global agriculture production as well as trade. Given the hardworking nature and entrepreneurial zeal of Indian farmers, need of the hour is to provide them exposure to the global best practices and farm technologies. Steady investments in technology development, irrigation infrastructure, emphasison modern agricultural practices and provision of agricultural credit and subsidies are the major factors that contribute to agriculture growth.
Indian agriculture has undergone rapid transformation in the past two decades. The policy of globalisation and liberalization has opened up new avenues for agricultural modernisation. This has not only led to commercialisation and diversification, but also triggered various technological and institutional innovations owing also to investments from corporate entities.
Rallis’ range of products and services caters to agriculture in India and select geographies overseas. The product range comprises a wide variety of crop protection chemicals and nutrition products for various crops. Rallis also has a significant presence in the Seeds segment through its subsidiary Metahelix Life Sciences.
INDIAN MARKETS
CROP PROTECTION
CHEMICALS:
Agrochemicals market in India is estimated at over `13,000 crores, which is about 4% of the global agrochemicals market. The Indian market is dominated with products which are off-patent, therefore distribution reach and strong brands are key to grow in this market. The market is also witnessing introduction of newer molecules and products for specific needs, leading to higher growth rates in recent times. Overall consumption of crop protection chemicals however continues to remain low at 0.6 kg per hectare against consumption in USA and China at 7 Kg and 13 kg per hectare respectively. Lower purchasing power and lack of awareness among farmers about crop protection chemicals are the key reasons for the lower consumption of crop protection chemicals in India.
Rallis is therefore well positioned to grow in this segment on its strength of distribution reach, new product introduction and branding skills and the ability to build enduring relationships with channel partners and farmers. Rallis over the years has invested significant resources in building brands, channel network and farmer network. Currently, Rallis’ network covers 80% of India’s districts extensively. The Company is working on investing in specific initiatives to expand the reach of channel and build direct connect with the farmers. Some of the specific initiatives in this regard are Rallis Kisan Kutumb (RKK) that enables Rallis to connect with over 1 million farmers, Bhagidari Sabha and Anubandh that are aimed at increasing connect with channel partners. Other initiatives leveraging information and communication technologies are also underway to strengthe their connect with farmers and channel partners.
The crop protection volume growth in 2014-15 was muted due to variation and volatility in climatic factors. The south-west monsoon was erratic and had a delayed onset leading to slowing the pace of sowing of key crops. The Rabi season also witnessed unseasonal rains and hailstorms which impacted standing crop in large parts of northern and western India. Due to these unfavourable climatic conditions, overall farm productivity was impacted leading to poor yields and output. Coupled with this have been low commodity prices. This has led to a drop in farm incomes, leading to a sluggish cash cycle and poor farm sentiments. It is therefore vital that conditions improve with a better monsoon performance along with increase in crop prices.
INTERNATIONAL
MARKETS
The global crop protection market grew at 4.1% and is currently estimated at US$ 56 billion. Strong growth was recorded in LATAM, European and Asian markets which together now account for US$ 44.7 billion. Rallis’ international agro chemicals business recorded a good growth during the year and achieved the milestone of crossing Rs. 500 crores in exports for the first time.
With strengths in technology and technical competence, the Company is also focusing on building a business platform on Contract Manufacturing for leading global corporations. During the year, discussion and activities with some leading Companies progressed well. There are several projects in different stages of execution. One new product was commercialized during the year for contract manufacture. The Company is also well positioned to invest in required facilities at Dahej for the purpose.
All these business segments put together, comprising the Non-pesticide portfolio (NPP) segment contributed to 33% of the total revenues for the year. This records satisfactory progress in building the second pillar of business, which is intended to go up to 40% of revenues in future.
OPPORTUNITIES
AND OUTLOOK
India’s population, the second largest in the world is estimated to increase over time. Given the Government’s initiative on food security, per-capita consumption of food grains and therefore the demand for them will only increase. Prevention of crop losses is the immediate requirement to bridge the demand-supply gap in foodgrains, which necessitates deeper penetration of agrochemicals. Additionally, factors such as decline in the availability – and the increasing cost – of farm labour are growth drivers for the Agrochemical sector.
India is growing to become a preferred destination for manufacturing as global majors look for outsourcing a lot of their product requirements out of the country. Therefore the Company is well placed in servicing this opportunity with its strong manufacturing and technical capability to become a reliable strategic outsourcing partner for these Companies.
As the Indian farmers look for better agronomy practices and solutions, the Company has opportunity to provide these services into the future. Understanding farmer needs and developing the right solutions is the mainstay of the Company and along with the strong relationship with farmers and partners, this will provide the platform for growth into the future.
