Indian Agrochemical Market Overview1. The Indian crop protection industry was estimated to be USD 4.75 billion in FY15.2. Expected to grow at a CAGR of 12% to reach USD 7.5 billion by FY19. 3. Exports currently constitute more than 50% of Indian crop protection Domestic market and
grows at 16% CAGR4. Domestic grows at 8% CAGR. 5. Globally, India is fourth largest producer of crop protection chemicals, after United States,
Japan and China. Industry Structure & Competitive Landscape1. The Indian crop protection industry is dominated by generic products with more than 80%
of molecules being non-patented. This results in very low entry barriers for the industry.2. There are about 125 technical grade manufacturers, including about 10 multinationals, 3. There are about 800 formulators.4. Around 145,000 distributors in India. 5. More than 60 technical grade pesticides are being manufactured indigenously.

Imperatives for Various StakeholdersAgrochemical Companies Product Innovation: Product innovation needs
to capture emerging market trends and match International standards. Indian companies usually spend 1-2% of their turnover on R&D as compared to global companies which spend 10-12% of their turnover on R&D.
End to end farmer solution: Companies should look for opportunities to provide a comprehensive agro offering or one stop solution ranging from procurement to distribution, to the farmer.
Leverage on IT and Telecommunications: Companies could leverage the existing IT and Telecommunication Infrastructure to promote the use of products.Integrated Pest Management: Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a sustainable approach to pest management by combination of biological, mechanical, physical and chemical methods.
Govt. & Regulatory Bodies
Non-genuine pesticides are a critical challenge which not only impact the industry image but also hamper the crop productivity and soil fertility. Apart from Agrochemical companies, Government and Regulatory bodies have to play a critical role for not only achieving increased reach of agrochemicals amongst the farmers but making sure them only sustainable and environment friendly products reaches them.

SUSTAINABLE CONSUMPTIONSustainable consumption is the use of products and services that have a minimal impact on the environment so future generations can meet their needs.
Why should we care?The rise of consumer societies - Sustainable Consumption• Culture of consumption• Management of shared resources• Tragedy of commons• Bio-piracy: the exploitative
appropriation of indigenous forms of knowledge by commercial actors
• Eco Patent Commons: a collective of patents on technology that facilitate the use of existing innovation that is protective of the environment (membership from 11 companies including HP, IBM, Nokia, Sony and Xerox)
Taking advantage of the opportunities
Mobilizing the whole company
Stakeholders are asking for it -
Risk profile is changing
No longer only for high risk companies
Acting as a point of differentiation
If you want to make sustainability an integral part of your business, you must identify material sustainability issues, develop a sustainability strategy and form sustainability targets

Look at the approach to sustainability
Look at how they engage
Look at the future
Look at who is driving the change
Look at the resources allocated to sustainability

Why sustainability?• Adverse effect on the
environment and human health
• Cause of imbalance in soil biology
• Reported cases of human intoxication by pesticides in Brazil: 2178 in 2007 4537 in 2013
• Governments worldwide putting emphasis on economic, environmental, and social sustainability in the agriculture sector.
• Farmers depending on organic practices and have initiated efforts to optimize soil productivity while simultaneously preserving their ability to function as a healthy medium.
• Shift toward organic alternatives such as bio pesticides.

• 4 R nutrient stewardship:i. Right Source: Balanced supply of essential
nutrientsii. Right Rate: Decisions based on soil nutrient supply
and plant demandiii. Right Time: Decisions based on dynamics of crop
uptake, soil supply, nutrient loss risks, and field operation logistics
iv. Right Place: Address root-soil dynamics and nutrient movement
• Integrated Nutrient Management Division (INM) [Ministry of Agriculture] mandated to ensure:
• adequate availability of quality fertilizers to farmers• periodical demand assessment and timely supply• promoting integrated nutrient management• soil test-based judicious and balanced use of chemical
fertilizers in conjunction with organic manures and bio-fertilizers
• promotion of organic farming• Ensuring quality control of fertilizers through
implementation of Fertilizer Order• Reduce phosphorus losses to protect and restore water-related ecosystems
• Nitrous Oxide Emission Reduction Protocol (NERP): Nitrogen fertilizer is responsible for emission of nitrous oxide emissions, but it is also the main driver of yield in modern high production systems – Critical balance to be maintained
• Urea Deep Placement (UDP) - Method of fertilizer application wherein fertilizer is compressed into pellets that are then placed underground in the root zone of plants (rice cultivation)
• It increases fertilizer use efficiency by acting as a low-cost, slow-release fertilizer product.
• Improving energy efficiency in ammonia production: Overall, an ammonia plant built today uses some 30% less energy per ton of ammonia produced than one built 40 years ago. Restructuring has rewarded more efficient producers
• Integrated Pest Management or IPM - Systems approach to reducing damage caused by pests to an acceptable level without harming the environment
• IPM combines biological, cultural, physical and chemical tools to minimize economic costs and health, and environmental risks.
• Includes adoption of pest-resistant varieties of crops, biological and physical control methods, bio pesticides, and when absolutely necessary, non-toxic chemical pesticide
• Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS): CO2 is currently captured at a number of ammonia production sites for use in the manufacture of urea or in other industrial value chains. The expansion of CCS in ammonia production could be supported by appropriate policy decisions.
