Rising commodity prices to maintain demand
momentum for Agri inputs
We hosted Mr. Sameer Goel – Managing Director, Coromandel International & Mr. Balram
Singh Yadav – Managing Director, Godrej Agrovet, to get their individual perspectives on
the inflation in agricultural commodities (as per the World Bank, prices in Apr’21 increased
83% YoY for Maize, 64% YoY for Soybean, 76% YoY for Palm Oil, 58% YoY for Sugar, and
43% YoY for Cotton). Furthermore, we wanted to understand the implication of this
inflation – driven by supply-side disruptions, stockpiling, and speculation – on various
stakeholders (farmers, corporates, and the economy) as well as the current situation on
the ground. Here are the key takeaways:
CMr Sameer Goel – MD,
Coromandel International
During his career, spanning
more than 28 years, he has
held various roles in India, the
UK, the UAE, and West and
South Africa; he was Vice
President for Africa when he
moved from GSK. He has
extensive experience in
managing businesses, driving
sales across multiple
geographies, and building B2C
businesses.
Key takeaways from our meeting with Mr Sameer Goel – Managing
Director, Coromandel International
Agricultural industry
Increase in Food Price Index:
As of Apr’21, the Food Price Index posted a rise for
the 11
th
consecutive month and was at the highest levels since May’14. Growth
was largely driven by vegetable oils and cereals, lower output and decline in
inventory levels, and stockpiling in China.
The monsoon forecast for CY21 remains normal, and reservoirs in South and
West India are at good levels; these factors bode well for acreages.
RM prices:
Since Nov’20, prices have surged across DAP, phos acid, ammonia,
and sulfur. This is largely attributable to a sharp increase in commodity prices,
leading to a rise in RM prices. Moreover, increased demand, coupled with lower
availability from Brazil, China, the US, and India, contributed to the price rise.
NBS rates:
The government has increased the subsidy on phosphorous by 204%
to INR45.3/kg, keeping the subsidy rate constant for NKS. This led to a fall in
DAP prices (for farmer) to INR1,200/bag (from INR1,900/bag).
Specific to Coromandel International (CRIN)
Backward integration:
CRIN has increased focus on backward integration and
fully integrated its Vizag and Ennore plants. The company is increasing capacity
in Vizag and also installing an evaporator at the plant, which would help
transport concentrated acid to the Ennore plant.
Capital allocation:
Going forward, the major focus and investment would be
toward crop protection chemical plants (new MPP installations). It would also
focus on backward integration to reduce the number of imports.
The company is also looking at inorganic expansion opportunities – as CRIN has
fully repaid its long-term and short-term debts.

Key takeaways from our meeting with Mr Balram Singh Yadav – Managing
Director, Godrej Agrovet
Industry concerns
Mr Balram Singh Yadav,
MD, Godrej Agrovet
He is also MD of Godrej Tyson
Foods and Former Chairman of
the Compound Livestock Feed
Manufacturers Association of
India. Additionally, he serves
as Director on the boards of
ACI Godrej (Bangladesh),
Creamline Dairy Products, and
Polychem Hygiene
Laboratories. In the last 19
years, he has handled
positions of increasing
responsibility, including
Deputy Sales Manager
(Khanna), Factory Manager,
and Operations Manager.
Rural consumption:
Rural consumption slowed in FY21, largely due to a rise in
the number of COVID cases in rural areas and consequent lockdowns. GoI has
introduced various initiatives to revive rural demand, such as subsidizing all the
fertilizers (namely urea, DAP, and P&K). Another INR190b has been allocated to
95m farmers under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (of which 45m farmers have
received the funds). The drop in consumption is expected to be temporary, and
demand is expected to bounce back faster than expected.
Commodity prices:
The surge in agri-commodity prices is expected to be
corrected shortly – as prices are not sustainable at this level (15–20% decline
may be expected) and reflect the change in global prices. Cereal prices are
expected to remain elevated on increased demand from the Bio-Diesel segment.
Agri sector:
India’s domestic sector saw a bumper rabi season, thereby paving
the way for robust growth in FY22. Food grain production for the year is
expected to be north of 307mmt.
Specific to Godrej Agrovet (GOAGRO)
Animal Protein:
Post the lifting of the lockdown, a surge in demand is
anticipated for chicken, eggs, and fish, potentially leading to a shortage in the
market. 2Q/3Q/4QFY22 performance is expected to be considerably good v/s
1QFY22 and would thereby support annual growth for FY22.
Palm Oil:
At the current price level, farmers make ~INR200k/ha, the highest for
any crop in the country. Palm oil prices are expected to remain high and are
linked to bio-diesel demand, which also remains high. However, prices may
correct by 10–15%, but would not return to previous levels (would be 25–30%
higher than 2Q/3QFY21 levels).
Aqua Feed:
The Fish Feed business faced major headwinds as labor availability
was an issue due to the lockdown. Shrimp feed demand continues to be robust,
driven by global demand, leading to an increase in shrimp prices. With the
impact of COVID gradually subsiding, the Shrimp business is expected to
perform well in the current financial year.

Detailed notes – Mr Sameer Goel – Managing Director, Coromandel
International
Agricultural sector
Increased global demand:
Globally, a steady increase in population is observed,
along with a rise in wealth. This is in turn expected to lead to an increase in the
calorie intake per capita, supported by hunger/poverty eradication. Australia,
Africa, Southeast Asia, India, etc. are expected emerge as the world’s largest
food suppliers. India has higher irrigated land than China and could emerge as
the largest agri supplier in the world.
GVA:
Gross value added (GVA) by the Agri sector in India increased to INR171t
over CY2008–18. The value add is expected to increase 2x to INR230t over
CY19–29.
Challenges in India Agri sector: (i) Decline in per capita land holdings:
The
average land holding size fell from 2–2.5ha to ~1ha over 1970–71 to FY16.
Recent government initiatives, such as contract farming, have led to the
consolidation of land by large farmers to maintain supply.
(ii) Imbalanced
nutritional usage:
The ideal ratio of NPK is 4:2:1, which increased sharply to
6.1:2.5:1 in FY18 (v/s 4.7:2.3:1 in FY11).
(iii) Lower mechanization:
According to
the World Bank, the level of mechanization in India stands at 40% (v/s the US /
Brazil / China at 95%/75%/48%).
(iv) Low crop protection consumption:
India’s
crop protection consumption stands at 0.6kg/ha (v/s the US/China 7kg/ha /
13kg/ha).
Eight global agri trends and impact on India: (i) Rising pressure on natural
resources:
Pressure on natural resources is driving the need for micro-irrigation
in India.
(ii) Changing dietary preferences:
Dietary patterns are evolving as
demand for fruits, vegetables, and pulses continues to post a 6–8% CAGR v/s
cereals (1%).
(iii) Evolution of farm holdings:
Declining avg. farm holdings.
(iv)
Farm labor shortage:
Issues with labor availability are driving a 10% p.a. rise in
the cost of cultivating major crops.
(v) Continued importance to political
economy:
Additional government interventions in the form of higher MSP and
Direct Benefit Transfers would support farmers.
(vi) Rise of digital farmers:
Increasing mobile penetration would provide a unique opportunity to use
personalization to build a deeper farmer connect.
(vii) Farm tech
advancements:
Data-driven agricultural and precision farming are changing the
landscape of Agri and would continue to do so in the future.
(viii) Evolution of
logistics:
The Logistics sector is evolving in India, with 42 mega food parks
planned across the country.
Opportunity for agri companies:
Balanced nutrition, specialized nutrition,
precision farming/ag-tech farming, and micro-irrigation are some of the major
opportunities for agri companies going forward.
Impact of COVID on agriculture:
Agriculture was the only sector to report 3.4%
GVA growth in FY21. Government spend – through MGNREGA, Social Assistance
Program, etc. – increased to INR7,900b in FY21 (from INR4,400b in FY20). Also,
the government procurement of paddy/wheat under MSP saw volume growth
of 14%.
Farm mechanization has also improved during the COVID period – tractor sales
increased 28% YoY in FY21.

The monsoon forecast for CY21 remains normal, and reservoirs in South and
West India are at good levels; this bodes well for acreages.
Increase in Food Price Index:
As of Apr’21, the Food Price Index posted a rise for
the 11
th
consecutive month and was at the highest levels since May’14. Growth
was largely driven by vegetable oils and cereals, lower output and decline in
inventory levels, and stockpiling in China.
Indian Fertilizer industry
RM prices:
Since Nov’20, prices have surged across DAP, phos acid, ammonia,
and sulfur. This is largely attributable to a sharp increase in commodity prices,
leading to a rise in RM prices. Moreover, increased demand, coupled with lower
availability from Brazil, China, the US, and India, contributed to the price rise.
NBS rates:
The government has increased the subsidy on phosphorous by 204%
to INR45.3/kg, keeping the subsidy rate constant for NKS. This led to a fall in
DAP prices (for farmer) to INR1,200/bag (from INR1,900/bag). The government
disbursed an additional INR650b in 4QFY21.
Phos acid:
India’s phos acid demand is pegged at 4.2–4.5mmt. Of the tradable
~4.5mmt phos acid available globally, India consumes more than 50%.
Prices:
DAP prices are currently lower. NPK sales are expected to increase; a
shift can be seen to NPK from DAP. NPK is better for the soil and has other
minerals and added benefits.
Company-specific
Backward integration:
CRIN has increased focus on backward integration and
fully integrated its Vizag and Ennore plants. The company is increasing capacity
in Vizag and also installing an evaporator at the plant, which would help
transport concentrated acid to the Ennore plant.
New products:
CRIN is gearing up on the Nutritional and Crop Protection fronts.
Currently, ~25% of sales come from new products introduced last year. Going
forward, CRIN plans to continue to invest in R&D. A similar approach would be
adopted in the Nutritional biz as well.
Capital allocation:
Going forward, the major focus and investment would be
toward crop protection chemical plants (new MPP installations). It would also
focus on backward integration to reduce the number of imports. By Jun’21,
capacity would increase to 1.5x that of current levels.
The company is also looking at inorganic expansion opportunities – as CRIN has
fully repaid its long-term and short-term debts.
Subsidy:
As of Apr’21, an INR650b government subsidy is pending across the
industry, largely due to the surge in COVID-19 cases, coupled with budgetary
cuts from the finance department.
Organic farming:
CRIN is the largest player in the Organic Farming segment in
both the Nutritional and Bio-Pesticide sub-segments.

Detailed notes – Mr Balram Singh Yadav – Managing Director, Godrej
Agrovet (GOAGRO)
Animal Feed
Animal Protein:
Chicken and egg prices have been extremely low in May’21.
Chicken prices have plunged from INR110/kg to INR45–50/kg in May’21, post
the announcement of recent lockdowns across the country (whereas the cost of
production stands at INR80/kg). Egg prices have also followed suit and dropped
30–40% during the month. Milk prices have also corrected by 15–20% in certain
parts of the country. The decline in milk prices was slow as the lack of demand
was accompanied by lower production across the country.
According to the management, Post the lifting of the lockdown, a surge in
demand is anticipated for chicken, eggs, and fish, potentially leading to a
shortage in the market. 2Q/3Q/4QFY22 performance is expected to be
considerably good v/s 1QFY22 and would thereby support annual growth for
FY22.
Aqua Feed:
The Fish Feed business has faced major headwinds due to lockdown.
However, the Shrimp Feed business has seen good demand (driven by global
demand), with domestic production lower than previous levels. Also, shrimp
prices are rising owing to increased demand from foreign countries. The Shrimp
business is expected to perform well in the current financial year.
Poultry:
Poultry production is low across India. Compared with Jan’20,
production levels of egg/chicken/milk/fish/shrimp have reached
80%/80%/90%/80%/85–90% levels. Post the lifting of the lockdown, demand
across segments is expected to surge rapidly. Food inflation is likely to be driven
by animal inflation.
27 May 2021

 Motilal Oswal Financial Services
Agriculture
Animal Feed:
Animal Feed business margin growth was muted (for GOAGRO)
due to the pandemic. However, on a sequential basis, margins are improving, as
R&D benefits have started to flow in. Margins are expected to surge in FY22.
Palm Oil
Area under cultivation for palm oil in India is ~2m-ha and the area covered is
~350k-ha. Farmers enjoy subsidies of INR50–60k/ha from the government and
also gain 78–80% of the oil price. With this, and at current prices, domestic
farmers make ~INR200k/ha, the highest among the crops in the country.
Palm oil prices are expected to remain high as long as bio-diesel demand
remains high. However, prices may correct by 10–15%, but would not return to
previous levels (would be 25–30% higher v/s 2Q/3QFY21).
Oil prices have remained high for the past six months. Palm oil prices were up
62% YoY, and sunflower / soya / groundnut / mustard oil prices were up
59%/55%/35%/48% YoY, respectively, at the retail level.
GOAGRO has 35,000–40,000ha of oil palm plantations in AP (under contract
farming); every hectare is geo-tagged and the company is able to access
harvesting info, plant growth, fertilizer deficit, etc. and all the other necessary
information. Furthermore, an infrared photographic system has enabled the
company to analyze the oil content from fresh fruit bunches, which would aid
the better and timely harvesting of fruits.
Others
Agri sector:
India’s domestic sector saw a bumper rabi season, and food grain
production for the year is expected to be north of 307mmt. Global cereal prices
remain high, leading to 13mmt exports of paddy, 0.5mmt of basmati, and 2mmt
of wheat.
Plants:
Unlike the previous lockdown, all factories of GOAGRO are operational
for 2–3 shifts across locations.
Labor unavailability remains concern:
Currently, there is huge demand for
shrimp in the international market. India is unable to meet demand as shrimp
harvesting is a man-power intensive job and labor availability is currently a
major concern. Lower labor supply has led to a shortfall in meeting shrimp
demand.
Owing to an increase in mobile penetration, there is no information asymmetry
anymore. Farmers are well-connected and well-informed via mandis and
government websites. Increased digitization has led to GOAGRO or the
government (post procurement) making direct payments to farmers.
Food supply chain:
Despite the pandemic, the food supply chain has not
suffered. Although logistic operations have been affected, food supply and
availability have been given priority.
Contract farming:
80% of the INR700b Chicken industry is integrated.
Integrators supply the feed, chicks, medicines, and vaccines and also transport
the chicken from the poultry for sale in the market. Farmers enjoy contract
farming charges and see up to 17–18% returns on investment. This model has
worked successfully for the domestic Chicken industry – the per capita
consumption of chicken increased to 4.5/kg in CY20 from 1/kg in CY’00. The
GOAGRO management believes a similar business model should be applied to
27 May 2021

other crops, resulting in higher returns for farmers and the streamlining of the
entire process.
Commodity prices:
The surge in agri-commodity prices is expected to be
corrected shortly – as prices are not sustainable at this level (15–20% decline
may be expected) and reflect the change in global prices. Cereal prices are
expected to remain elevated on increased demand from the Bio-Diesel segment.
Rural consumption:
Rural consumption slowed in FY21, largely due to a rise in
the number of COVID cases in rural areas and consequent lockdowns. GoI has
introduced various initiatives to revive rural demand, such as subsidizing all the
fertilizers (namely urea, DAP, and P&K). Another INR190b has been allocated to
95m farmers under the PM Kisan Samman Nidhi (of which 45m farmers have
received the funds). The drop in consumption is expected to be temporary, and
demand is expected to bounce back faster than expected.
eNam:
Maintaining quality control is one of the initial challenges faced by the
buyer. The eNam platform is expected to prove effective for inter-state
buying/selling.
