  • The cash flows are robust enough to take care of the debt taken on due to the take-over of Arysta. The pre-payment of a part of the long term debt, as done in recently, should help in reducing the interest cost.

  • By going global, the company has taken a step toward becoming a agriculture solution provider from being just a producer of agrochemicals. Also there is a de-risking of the business model from uncertainty of weather with its presence in different regions across the globe. In Q3, weather in Northern America pushed demand for one for Glufosinate.

  • Earlier in January 2020, IT raids were conducted on the company. In October 2020, KPMG Mauritius, auditors of its subsidiary UPL Corp, resigned. In December 2020, whistle-blower has alleged that promoters siphoned off funds from company.

  • Some of the key markets of UPL in Latin America have an inherent problem of adverse currency movements against the US dollar. Whether the company would be able to pass on the current headwind, every time the LATAM currencies weaken, is still to be seen. This brings in higher elements of currency risk in the earnings.

  • MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS (FY 2019-20)

    • Structurally on growth path

      India’s crop protection industry is expected to be one of the fastest growing markets over the next 5 years. Herbicides and fungicides are expected to grow faster. Low consumption of agrochemicals in India (0.6 kg/ha versus 13 kg/ha and 5 kg/ha in China and the UK, respectively), relatively lower agricultural yields resulting in reduced agricultural exports and high losses due to diseases and pests are expected to structurally drive increasing agrochemical usage.

    • Marginal decline in overall market size

      The global market for conventional crop protection products (excluding herbicide tolerant and insect resistant seed, as well as non-crop agrochemicals) is estimated to have decreased marginally, by 0.8% in CY2019 to US$ 60 billion.

    • Inherent strength - low cost manufacturing and technical manpower

      Indian agrochemical exports (~55% of India’s aggregate sales in FY2020) were estimated to grow at a strong 16% y-o-y in FY2020 and are projected to log ~8% CAGR over next three financial years from an estimated US$ 3.66 billion in FY2020 to US$ 4.6 billion in FY2023. India’s capability in low-cost manufacturing, a strong presence in generic pesticide manufacturing, availability of technically trained manpower, seasonal domestic demand and overcapacity will drive growth in exports, especially to countries with similar crops and/or climatic conditions.
