• Though India is number 1 in the world in
terms of irrigated land area, what
worries the most is LOW PRODUCTIVITY.

CHALLENGES FOR MARKETING OF
FERTILIZER INDUSTRY
• WTO guidelines
• Lack of irrigation
• Lack of availability of easy finance
• Limited availability of Natural gas
• Price hike of natural gas
• Unavailability of Raw materials
• Volatile international prices
TRENDS
• Water soluble fertilizers
• Investments from technology providers and
players
• Increasing joint ventures. Indian fertilizer
companies joined hands with Jordan, Senegal,
Oman, Morocco, Egypt etc.
COMPETETION
• Market is highly competitive with major
players batting for increased market share
• Players are expanding production capacities
and reviving their plants
Summary and Conclusion
• India’s fertilizer consumption is consistently
increasing, while the total area under foodgrains is
decreasing.
• Intensity of per hectare fertilizer consumption of
fertilizer is more in northern(91.5 kg/ha avg.) and
southern (85.3 kg/ha avg.) region and lower in
eastern (44.7 kg/ha avg.)and western(40.7 kg/ha
avg.) region.
• More than half of the total consumption of fertilizer
is consumed by only two crops i.e. rice and wheat.
• By 2020, fertilizer demand in country is projected to
increase to about 41.6 million tonnes.

Summary and Conclusion
• Indian imports, which were about 2 million tonnes
in early part of 2000, increased to 11.69 million
tonnes of fertilizer in 2010-11.
• The intensity of fertilizer use varied greatly from
about 55 kg per hectare in Rajasthan to as high as
254 kg per hectare in Andhra Pradesh.
• In 2009-10, 112 out of 538 district (20.8%)
consumed more than 200 kg fertilizer per hectare.
• Overall, availability of raw material, capital
resources and price incentives will play critical role
in meeting the fertilizer requirement in the country.

MARKETING STRATEGIES OF
FERTILIZER INDUSTRY
Demonstration
Import policy • Import of fertilizer i.e UREA which is used at very large
scale is on restricted list.
• Prices are fixed in such a way that there is no difference in
price of fertilizers either imported or bought from domestic
market
AGROCHEMICALS
INDIAN AGROCHEMICAL INDUSTRY
• Constitutes those chemical compounds that prevent
crops from attack of pests , weeds , fungus , insects
and other related diseases.
•Classification is on the basis of the purpose for which
it is used i.e insecticides , fungicides etc
•India is second largest producer of agrochemicals in
world after Japan.
PRODUCT CATEGERIES
• INSECTICIDES
• HERBICIDES
• FUNGICIDES
• PESTICIDES
Pesticides Use Patterns
• Insecticides are the largest product sector
amongst agrochemicals in India contributing
75% of the total market (Also MNCs Money
making area)
• Herbicides account for the 12% of the total
Indian agrochemical market
• Fungicides account for 10% of the total
agrochemical market.
MARKETING ENVIRONMENT FOR
AGROCHEMICALS IN INDIA
The marketing environment for agrochemicals
depends on following factors
1. Cropping pattern
2. Government policies and regulations
3. Factors affecting market growth
4. Factors creating challenges and threat for the
industry
CROPPING PATTERNS
Aggressive promotion
Backward integration
Regional imbalance
Low selling price of agricultural products
Natural calamities
Environmental pressures (critics)
MARKETING STRATEGIES FOR AGROCHEMICALS
PRODUCT STRATEGY
PLACE STRATEGY
Aggressive distribution strategy by dealing directly
with retailer.
The competition guides the prices
Effectiveness of certain brands gets the advantage
of premium pricing
PRICE STRATEGY
PROMOTION STRATEGY
Farmer education
EXPORT STRATEGY
In order to safeguard industry from
unpredictable losses from domestic market
Indian firms should consider whole world as its
market.(already considering too)
MARKETING OF FEEDS FOR LIVESTOCK
• Sale of feeds for consumption of cows,
bullocks, buffalos, and feeds for poultry, fish
etc is a fast growing business.
• Dairying is a very big business activity and for
this purpose food and care of cows and
buffaloes is essential.
• For poultry, fish and shrimps, some units
make and sell special packed feed
• In coastal areas, locally cultivated fish,
shrimps, are used as feeds.
SEEDS MARKETING
SEEDS MARKETING
• Seed is the most essential input and hence not much of marketing
effort is required
• Marketers job is only when new varieties come
• Another explanation require is quantity required per acre and the
quantum of crops expected from a particular variety.
• Earlier seeds marketing was done only by government.
• The Indian seed industry is estimated to touch Rs. 15,000 crore in
the year 2015.
• The country imports more than half its required edible oils and
pulses, as domestic production is insufficient to meet the rising
demand. The country’s import bill on edible oils touched $ 9.65
billion, while that of pulses stood at $1.83 billion in 2011-12.
AGRICULTURAL INPUTS
INDIAN SEEDS MARKET(2009-10)
TRACTORS
• Segmented on the basis of power of tractor engine
i.e. Horse power
• Market share
• Less than 30 HP (25%)
• 31-40 HP (55%)
• 41-50 HP (15%)
• More than 50 HP (5%)
AGRICULTURAL INPUTS
• Increasing population
