II. Farming
Indias fiscal year runs from Apr 1 to March 31. Thus, FY 2014 (also called fiscal 2014) means Apr 1, 2013 Mar 31, 2014. In Indian documents, FY (fiscal) 2014 is also labeled FY13-14.
The remaining nine months of calendar 2014, i.e. Apr-Dec, belong to fiscal year 2015.
In order to better align with calendar years and make international comparisons more meaningful, in the Major Players section of this report, Emerging Markets Insight has chosen to label data by
the year in which most of the result occurred. Unless otherwise stated, in the Major Players section of this report, 2012, for example, means the 12 months between Apr 1, 2012 - Mar 31, 2013, or
what in India is referred to as FY 2013. This applies to Indian companies only and may not apply to companies with global operations, which may be presented in this report.
When sources have not provided details on their year labeling policy, year labels in graphs and tables featured in this report appear as provided by the source.

Output
Comments
Product-wise farming output
Farming output (constant prices FY2004-2005)
Farming output, current prices
CEIC
High product prices push up farming output in nominal terms
and result in two-digit annual growth rates. The increase in the
output quantities is however moderate and varies among
products.
Most of the farming output comes from cereals, followed by
fruits and vegetables.

Sown Area
Total sown area
Farm Crops Planting Structure Comments
CEIC
There hasnt been substantial change in the sown area in
India, the total acreage standing at about 120-127 mn ha.
About 60% (ca. 70 mn ha) of the area is sown with kharif
crop (planted for autumn harvest, also called summer or
monsoon crop), the remaining 40% - with rabi (crop sown
in winter and harvested in the spring).
About 60% of the cropped area is rainfed, i.e. subject to
weather conditions, which hinders the realization of
maximum yield.

Fertilizers Production and Import

Fertilizers production grew at a compound rate of 1.5% in the 2007-2012 period and recorded an annual decline in the last two years.
Thus, the intensive use of fertilizers was not covered by respective increase in production. As a result in 2012 domestic made fertilizers
catered for only 60% of the demand, the share dropping from about 90% in 2002.

Minimum Support Prices
Comments
MSP for rabi season crops (INR per tonne)
MSP for kharif season crops (INR per tonne)
MSP for other crops
Ministry of Agriculture - crop years
Minimum support price (MSP) is a measure introduced by Indian
government to protect agriculture producers. MSP is set price at which
the government purchases the products, whatever their market price is,
thus ensuring farmers certain profit. The procured products are later
sold to weaker sections of the population throughout India at affordable
prices.
The first MSP were introduced in the late 60s for the purchase of wheat,
but have thereafter spread over 25 main crops (14 kharif crops; 7 rabi
crops and 4 others).
Prices are introduces at the beginning of every harvest season i.e.
August and December.
MSP are constantly increasing, thus supporting the food inflation in the
country.

Prices
Government measures to curb inflation in India have had only partial effect and although food inflation fall below 10% in the past years, it remains
significant. After peeking up at 20% in Nov 2013, food prices lower to 8% in March. Recent weather conditions (unseasonal rain and hail storms) have
damaged crops, vegetables and fruits harvest and pushed up prices, especially of melon and cucumbers. After the unexpected rains in March, the rain in
the monsoon season will be very important for restraining food prices growth. If the period comes dry, the Reserve Bank might be forced to rise interest
rates again to push down inflation (but this would not support growth). Moreover since the government subsidizes food for big part of the population, the
inflation has direct negative effect on the budget balance. (5.2% of GDP deficit in 2012). Food inflation also hurts consumption, the balance of payments
and monetary policy flexibility.

Wheat
Indias share in world wheat export in value terms, 2012
India is among the top three global producers of wheat.
Yet it is not a major exporter since most of the output is
consumed domestically. Local needs are for about 76-77
mn tonnes per annum.
The major producing regions are Uttar Pradesh, Haryana,
Panjab, Rajastan and Madhya Pradesh.
In 2012-2013 wheat output reached 94.9 mn tonnes a
record high level. It is expected that the harvest in 2013-
2014 will be better, as preliminary estimations are for
annual increase of about 3.5 mn tonnes to 96.0 mn.
The average yieled will ease to 3.0 tonnes per hectare,
but due to favourable weather conditions and higher
support prices the sown area was expanded by 6% yoy to
a record 31.5 mn acres.
However the stronger harvest might not lead to equal
boost in exports as domestic procurement prices are high,
while international prices are expected to remain
depressed and export will not be so attractive for
producers.
On the other hand restricted export from Ukraine may
lead to wheat price hikes and increased export from India.
From Feb 2007 up to Sep 2011 the export of wheat from
India was prohibited. The ban was lifted in 2011 but only
for private traders. In 2012 the government allowed
shipments from state warehouses and state-supported
trader could export up to 2mn tonnes via tenders annualy.

Rice
Indias share in world rice export in value terms, 2012
The major rice producing regions are West Bengal,
Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. About 70% of
the global basmati rice is produced in India.
India is top rice exporter, holding more than a quarter
of the world market. Although domestic prices have
been below international, it wasnt until the export
ban was lifted in Sep 2011, that India could cash on
the price advantage. The country exported record
high 7.2 bn in 2011 and a further increase was
estimated for 2012. In Apr-Dec 2013 exports of
basmati rice have risen 46 % to USD 3.47bn,
compared with USD 2.37bn a year ago. Exports of
non-basmati rice rose 7% yoy to USD 2.13bn from
USD 1.99 bn in Apr-Dec 2012. According to the
president of All India Rice Exporters Association, rice
exports might rise 7.8% in FY2013-2014, with
basmati rice sales being 14% up yoy (to 4 mn
tonnes), while non-basmati rise exports will be 4%
higher (to 7 mn tonnes).
The increasing stocks of Thai basmati rise, along
with the falling global prices will push the competition
for India exports.
Since rice acreage could not be expanded much
further, future increase in rice production could come
only from yield enhancing technologies (hybrid rice
cultivation) or development of the irrigation system.

Grain Crops: Pulses
The world production of tur (pigeon pea or gungo pea) is around 3.25 mn tonnes per annum. Due to favourable climate conditions, the main producers of
this crop are the countries in the Indian subcontinent, Africa and Central America. Among them, India is the leader, producing about 85% of the worlds
total amount. The crop is mainly grown in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh. Pigeon pea accounts for app. 20% of the pulses
sown in India. Despite the huge production, as domestic demand is high, India does not export tur, but import additional quantities from Myanmar and
Tanzania to cover consumption.
The same is also true for the other pulses. India is net importer of those products to fill the production-consumption gap. The import duty is zero.

Cotton
Sown area and cotton yield
Cotton is among the leading crops in India and is
especially important for the textile sector, as it
accounts for more than half of the fibre consumption.
Its production, however, is largely dependent on
weather conditions with nearly 65% of the cultivation
area being rainfed.
The cotton season 2012-2013 started with delayed
sowing in North India due to late harvesting, while
switching to other competing crops lead to lower
acreage of about 6%. Moreover the delayed
monsoon across the cotton belt and the southern
states also resulted in lower acreage. The hectares
were 3-12 % down yoy in all states except for
Andhra Pradesh, where the acreage was increased
by more than 20% to 2.3 mn hectres. Overall the
sown area decreased by app 10% in 2012.
The lower acreage was reflected in lower production
and import of cotton in some staples. At the same
time huge increase of import by China added to the
price increase.

Sugar
Sown area (5 year average) and yield
Sugarcane production was liberalized lately, as the
government abolished the requirement for mills to provide
10% of their production at a set rate to the Public
Distribution System. This allows firms to invest more in
upgrading and expanding their operations and is expected
to bring positive development of the sector.
The Indian government has had a very inconsistent policy
regarding sugarcane trade. Since 2006 a ban on exports
has been imposed and lifted several times.
At the moment, the domestic sugar supply situation is
favourable due to lager carryover stocks despite a decline
in production.
Export prospects however are not good, with higher
production cost and prevailing lower international prices.
According to the Agriculture Ministry, Indias
competitiveness in the international sugar market will
continue to be tempered by lower production, high
domestic prices and increasing sugarcane prices in the
context of rising global production and record stocks
leading to declining international prices. Moreover, as
most international trade in sugar is in raw form against
Indias production of white sugar, Indian sugar mills mightl
have to think of diversifying into raw sugar production to
grab market share.
In Feb 2014 the government decides to provide an export
subsidy of INR 3,333 per tonne for exports of 4 million
tonnes of raw sugar in two years.

Government Undertakings
NAFED
The National Agricultural Cooperative Marketing Federation of India is the nodal procurement agency for oilseeds and
pulses. When the market prices for oilseeds and pulses drops below the government-set MSP, it purchases quantities from
the farmers.

CCI
Founded in 1970, the Cotton Corporation of India is a Government undertaking, controlled by the Ministry of Textile.
Its main function is to undertake price support operations, without any quantitative limit, whenever the market prices of
seed cotton reach the support prices announced by the Government. Those purchases are made at CCI own risk. The
Corporation also buys cotton to meet export commitments
FCI
The price support operations in the foodgrains segment are conducted by the Food Corporation of India. Headquartered in
Channai, the corporation has five zonal offices and 50 regional offices. It purchases about 20% of the wheat harvest and
around 15% of the rice output in India.
The following companies purchase farm-products on MSP and distribute them throughout India. The difference between the purchase and the
sale price is covered by the Government through subsidy.

III. Livestock and Fishery
Indias fiscal year runs from Apr 1 to March 31. Thus, FY 2014 (also called fiscal 2014) means Apr 1, 2013 Mar 31, 2014. In Indian documents, FY (fiscal) 2014 is also labeled FY13-14.
The remaining nine months of calendar 2014, i.e. Apr-Dec, belong to fiscal year 2015.
In order to better align with calendar years and make international comparisons more meaningful, in the Major Players section of this report, Emerging Markets Insight has chosen to label data by
the year in which most of the result occurred. Unless otherwise stated, in the Major Players section of this report, 2012, for example, means the 12 months between Apr 1, 2012 - Mar 31, 2013, or
what in India is referred to as FY 2013. This applies to Indian companies only and may not apply to companies with global operations, which may be presented in this report.
When sources have not provided details on their year labeling policy, year labels in graphs and tables featured in this report appear as provided by the source.

Livestock Production
Livestock production Milk production (thou tonnes)
CEIC; Business Standard; Reuters
Milk is the main product of the husbandry subsector and most
of it comes from caws.
In India, caws are breeded only for milk. Caw slaughter is
prohibited in most of the states, except for Kerala, West Bengal
and the north-eastern region.
In all, India has half the buffaloes in the world, according to the
Indian Council of Agricultural Research, and the largest number
of cattle, with 327 mn heads, according to the US department
of Agriculture.
Milk availability per capita has increased by more than 25% in
2002-2010 to 281 grams per day.
Exports of dairy products recorded 138 % growth in Apr-Dec
2013 at USD 435.93mn, against USD183.24mn in the
corresponding period last year.

Livestock Production (contd)
Eggs production (mn unit) Meat production (thou tonnes)
CEIC; The New Indian Express
Egg production in India increased by a compound rate of 5.4%
in 2007-2012. Among the two main segments, duck eggs
expanded by 4.9% in terms of volume, while fowls by 4.8%.
Fowls eggs are produced predominantly in Andhra Pradesh
and Tamil Nadu, while duck eggs in West Bengal. The share
of the later segment is however less than 3% of all eggs
produced in India.
India is top exporter of beef. It is mainly produced in Uttar
Pradesh and, as the country is very sensitive to beef eating due
to religious reasons, about 70% of the output is placed on the
international market.
In 2012 beef export is estimated at 1.89mn tonnes, which is a
50% increase over the past five years.
Poultry export amounted to 3.5 mn tonnes, placing India among
the top three global exporters following the USA and Brazil.
The major meat export markets are the USA, Europe, as well
as the Gulf and South-east Asia countries.
Kerala is the biggest meat-consumer region in the country.
