Indian Pesticides Industry... exports leading growth momentum
Agriculture is the lynchpin of the Indian economy. Ensuring food security for more than 1 bn Indian population with diminishing cultivable land resource is a herculean task. This necessitates use of high yielding variety of seeds, balance use of fertilisers, judicious use of quality pesticides along with education to farmers and the use of modern farming techniques.
The production of Indian pesticides industry has almost remained stable at 85,000 MT during FY08-09. In value terms, the size of the Indian pesticide industry was estimated at Rs.98 bn for 2008, including exports of Rs.48 bn.
Per hectare consumption of pesticide is low in India at 381 grams when compared to the world average of 500 grams. Low consumption can be attributed to fragmented land holdings, lower level of irrigation, dependence on monsoons, low awareness among farmers about the benefits of usage of pesticides etc. India, being a tropical country, the consumption pattern is also more skewed towards insecticides which accounted for 62% of the total pesticide consumption in FY08. Rice is the highest pesticides consuming crop. Of the total pesticides consumption, 25.9% is consumed by rice. Andhra Pradesh is the highest pesticides consuming state (23%) followed by Punjab & Maharashtra.
India due to its inherent strength of low-cost manufacturing and qualified low-cost manpower is a net exporter of pesticides to countries such as USA and some European & African countries. Exports formed 49.5% of total industry turnover in FY08 and have grown at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 29.05% from FY04 to FY08.
