INTRODUCTION

Agriculture is the artificial cultivation and processing of animals, plants, fungi and other lifeforms for food, fibers and other by products. Agriculture was the key implement in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species createdfood surpluses that nurtured the development of much denser and more stratified societies.Agriculture in India is the means of livelihood of almost two thirds of the work force in thecountry. It has always been INDIA'S most important economic sector. The 1970s saw a hugeincrease in India's wheat production that heralded the Green Revolution in the country. Theincrease in post -independence agricultural production has been brought about by bringingadditional area under cultivation, extension of irrigation facilities, use of better seeds, better techniques, water management, and plant protection. Dependence on India agriculturalimports in the ea¶rly 1960s convinced planners that India's growing population, as well asconcerns about national independence, security, and political stability, required self-sufficiency in food production. This perception led to a program of agricultural improvementcalled the Green Revolution, to a public distribution system, and to price supports for farmers. The growth in food-grain production is a result of concentrated efforts to increase allthe Green Revolution inputs needed for higher yields: better seed, more fertilizer, improvedirrigation, and education of farmers. Although increased irrigation has helped to lessen year-to-year fluctuations in farm production resulting from the vagaries of the monsoons, it has noteliminated those fluctuations.

Nontraditional crops of India, such as summer mung (a variety of lentil, part of the pulsefamily), soybeans, peanuts, and sunflowers, were gradually gaining importance. Steps havebeen taken to ensure an increase in the supply of non-chemical fertilizers at reasonable prices.

There are 53 fertilizer quality control laboratories in the country. Realizing the importance of Indian agricultural production for economic development, the central Government of Indiahas played an active role in all aspects of agricultural development. Planning is centralized,and plan priorities, policies, and resource allocations are decided at the central level. Foodand price policy also are decided by the central government. Thus, although agriculture inIndia is constitutionally the responsibility of the states rather than the central government, thelatter plays a key role in formulating policy and providing financial resources for agriculture.Expansion in crop production, therefore, has to come almost entirely from increasing yieldson lands already in some kind of agricultural use.

The monsoons, however, play a critical role in Indian agriculture in determining whether theharvest will be bountiful, average, or poor in any given year. One of the objectives o f government policy in the early 1990s was to find methods of reducing this dependence on themonsoons.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

India ranks second worldwide in farm output. Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry and

logging accounted for 14.6% of the GDP in 2009-10, employed 52% of the total workforce,10.23 per cent (provisional) of the total exports and despite a steady decline of its share inthe GDP, is still the largest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall socio-economic development of India.

India's agriculture and allied sector grew by 3.8 per cent in the first six months of the currentfiscal (2010-11), against one per cent in the year-ago period on the back of better Kharif cropoutput. According to the GDP data released by the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) onNovember 30, 2010, the country's farm sector grew by 2.5 per cent and 4.4 per cent each inthe first two quarters of the current fiscal, against 1.9 per cent and 0.9 per cent, respectively,in the same period last year.

The Government is giving highest priority to agriculture and allied sector. The Eleventh Planallocation has been considerably higher over the Tenth Plan allocation. An amount of US$ 19billion has been allocated for the Ministry of Agriculture during the Eleventh Five Year Plan.

Capital investment in agriculture has increased from US$ 1.2 billion in 2007-08 to US$ 3.26billion in 2010-11 (inclusive of State Plan Scheme Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana), as per aMinistry of Agriculture press release dated August 3, 2010.

History of the industry

Since independence, India has become one of the largest producers of wheat, edible oil,potato, spices, rubber, tea, fishing, fruits, and vegetables in the world. The Ministry of Agriculture oversees activities relating to agriculture in India. Various institutions for agriculture related research in India were organized under the Indian Council of AgriculturalResearch (est. 1929). Other organizations such as the National Dairy Development Board(est. 1965), and National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (est. 1982) aided theformation of cooperatives and improved financing.

Indian agriculture began by 9000 BCE as a result of early cultivation of plants, anddomestication of crops and animals. Settled life soon followed with implements andtechniques being developed for agriculture. Double monsoons led to two harvests beingreaped in one year. Indian products soon reached the world via existing trading networks andforeign crops were introduced to India. Plants and animals²considered essential to their

survival by the Indians²came to be worshiped and venerated.

The middle ages saw irrigation channels reach a new level of sophistication in India andIndian crops affecting the economies of other regions of the world under Islamic patronage.Land and water management systems were developed with an aim of providing uniformgrowth. Despite some stagnation during the later modern era the independent Republic of India was able to develop a comprehensive agricultural program.

FACTS AND FIGURES OF INDIAN AGRICULTURE

y

India has the largest area in the world under pulse crops .

y

India is the first in the world to evolve a cotton hybrid.

y

India has the w orld's highest percentage of arable land to the total geographical area,in the world.

y

About 50% of India's geographical area is used for agricultural activity. With thespread of irrigation facilities, the introduction of high yielding variety of seeds andfarm mechanization, the vulnerability of the Indian agricultural sector to the vagariesof the monsoons has declined, compared to earlier.

y

About 80 percent of India's farmland is used to grow India's main foods--grains andpulses, the seeds of various pod vegetables, such as beans, chickpeas, and pigeonpeas.

y

India has the w orld's largest cattle and buffalo population. These animals are notbutchered for meat, but farmers keep cattle and water buffaloes for plowing and for milk. Most commercial milk production comes from water buffaloes. Hides fromcattle and water buffaloes are used for leather after the animals have died. Sheep areraised mostly for wool and sheepskin.

y

Dairy accounts for nearly 26% of the total value of agricultural output. India has theworld's second highest production of milk. India possesses 26 good breeds of cattleand six breeds of buffaloes. India's cattle is renowned the world over for its quality of endurance and resistance to tropical diseases.

y

India grows more than half of the w orld's mangoes and leads all countries in theproduction of cashews, millet, peanuts, pulses, sesame seeds, and tea.

y

The nation ranks second in the production of cauliflowers, jute, onions, rice, sorghum,and sugar cane.

y

India is a major producer of apples, bananas, coconuts, coffee, cotton, eggplants,oranges, potatoes, rapeseeds, rubber, tobacco, and wheat.

y

India is also the world's largest gro w er of betel nuts, which are palm nuts chewed asa stimulant by many people in tropical Asia. It is also a leading producer of suchspices as cardamom, ginger, pepper, and turmeric.

y

In terms of gross fertilizer consumption, India ranks fourth in the world, after theUSA, the erstwhile USSR and China.

y

India lives mainly in its villages, 600,000 of them.

y

Agriculture provides livelihood to about 65% of India's labour force

y

Agriculture contributes nearly 33% to India's Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

y

Agriculture accounts for about 10% of India's exports.

y

The farmers and their families use most of their crops. Half of all Indian farms are lessthan 2.5 acres (1 hectare) in area. Only 4 percent cover more than 25 acres (10hectares).

The Indian Agricultural Scenario

The total geographical area of India is 328.7 million hectares of which 140.3 million hectaresis net sown area, while 193.7 million hectares is the gross cropped area, according to theAnnual Report 2009-10 of the Ministry of Agriculture.

Production

India has become the world's largest producer across a range of commodities due to itsfavourable agro-climatic conditions and rich natural resource base. India is the largestproducer of coconuts, mangoes, bananas, milk and dairy products, cashew nuts, pulses,ginger, turmeric and black pepper. It is also the second largest producer of rice, wheat, sugar,cotton, fruits and vegetables.

As per the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) farm output will grow by 10 per cent to 114 million tonne (MT) in the 2010 Kharif season, while Rabi season is expected toreport a 2 per cent increase at 116.6 MT.

Oilseeds production is expected to rise by 11.1 per cent during the season to 18.1 per cent,sugarcane to notch up by 15.6 per cent to 321 MT and cotton to grow by 12.4 per cent to 26.9million bales compared to 23.9 million bales in the last season. The agency pegs the overallfoodgrain output growth up by 5.3 per cent to 229.7 MT.

Major agricultural crops, including foodgrain, oilseeds, cotton, sugarcane, and fruits andvegetables, are projected to grow by 7.2 per cent in 2010-11, while production of non-foodcrops as a whole is projected to grow by 9.7 per cent in the year.

EQUITY RESEARCHResearch is a function of the market and is influenced by the swings in the market.

When the objective of the analysis is to determine what stock to buy and at what price, there

are two basic methodologies

1.

Fundamental Analysis maintains that markets may misprice a security in the shortrun but that the "correct" price will eventually be reached. Profits can be made bytrading the mispriced security and then waiting for the market to recognize its"mistake" and reprise the security.

2.

Technical Analysis maintains that all information is reflected already in the stock price. Trends 'are your friend' and sentiment changes predate and predict trendchanges. Investors' emotional responses to price movements lead to recognizableprice chart patterns. Technical analysis does not care what the 'value' of a stock is.Their price predictions are only extrapolations from historical price patterns.

Investors can use any or all of these different but somewhat complementary methods for stock picking. For example many fundamental investors use technicals for deciding entry andexit points. Many technical investors use fundamentals to limit their universe of possiblestock to 'good' companies.

The choice of stock analysis is determined by the investor's belief in the different paradigmsfor "how the stock market works".

Brief discussion on fundamental and technical analysis is given below:

8/7/2019 Title agriculture

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/title-agriculture 22/33

FUNDAMENTAL ANALYSIS

Fundamental analysis of a business involves analyzing its financial statements and health, itsmanagement and competitive advantages, and its competitors and markets. When applied tofutures and forex, it focuses on the overall state of the economy, interest rates, production,

earnings, and management. When analyzing a stock, futures contract, or currency usingfundamental analysis there are two basic approaches one can use; bottom up analysis and topdown analysis.[1] The term is used to distinguish such analysis from other types of investment analysis, such as quantitative analysis and technical analysis.

Fundamental analysis is performed on historical and present data, but with the goal of makingfinancial forecasts. There are several possible objectives:

y

to conduct a company stock valuation and predict its probable price evolution,

y

to make a projection on its business performance,

y

to evaluate its management and make internal business decisions,

y

to calculate its credit risk.

Fundamental analysis includes:

1.

Economic analysis2.

Industry analysis

3.

Company analysis

On the basis of these three analyses the intrinsic value of the shares are determined. This isconsidered as the true value of the share. If the intrinsic value is higher than the market priceit is recommended to buy the share. If it is equal to market price hold the share and if it is lessthan the market price sell the shares.

1.

Economic Analysis:

The Economy of India is the eleventh largest in the world by nominal GDP and the fourthlargest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country's per capita GDP (PPP) is $3,290(IMF, 127th) in 2010. Following strong economic reforms from the post-independencesocialist economy, the country's economic growth progressed at a rapid pace, as free marketprinciples were initiated in 1990 for international competition and foreign investment.

Social democratic policies governed India's economy from 1947 to 1991. The economy wascharacterized by extensive regulation, protectionism, public ownership, pervasive corruptionand slow growth. Since 1991, continuing economic liberalization has moved the countrytowards a market-based economy. A revival of economic reforms and better economic policyin first decade of the 21st century accelerated India's economic growth rate. In recent years,Indian cities have continued to liberalize business regulations. By 2008, India had establisheditself as the world's second-fastest growing major economy.

Return on Equity

1.

Price to Sales ± P/S

One ratio we can use is Price to Sales or P/S ratio. This metric looks at the current stock pricerelative to the total sales per share. We can calculate the P/S by dividing the market cap of thestock by the total revenues of the company.

We can also calculate the P/S by dividing the current stock price by the sales per share.

P/S=MarketCap/Revenues or P/S = Stock Price / Sales Price Per Share

Much like P/E, the P/S number reflects the value placed on sales by the market. The lower the P/S, the better the value, at least that¶s the conventional wisdom. However, this isdefinitely not a number you want to use in isolation. When dealing with a young company,there are many questions to answer and the P/S supplies just one answer.

Current Market Cap =13133.72Net Sales = 12894.01

Price to Sales Ratio = 1.0185

2.

Price Earnings Ratio:

A valuation ratio of a company's current share price compared to its per-share earnings.P/E Ratio= Market Price Per Share / Earning Per Share

Market Price per Share=148.90 Earnings per Share=19.51

Price Earnings Ratio=7.63

Interpretation: It is the very important ratio for the valuation of the company. This ratio isimportant for comparing one company to another company. Currently company¶s P/E ratio is7.63. It¶s mean that investors have to invest 7.63 rupees for earning 1 rupee. Which is far enough for short term perspective?

3.

Price to Book Ratio

Investors looking for hot stocks aren¶t the only ones trolling the markets. A quiet group of folks called value investors go about their business looking for companies that the market haspassed by.

Some of these investors become quite wealthy finding sleepers, holding on to them for thelong term as the companies go about their business without much attention from the market,until one day they pop up on the screen, and some analyst ³discovers´ them and bids up thestock. Meanwhile, the value investor pockets a hefty profit.

Value investors look for some other indicators besides earnings growth and so on. One of themetrics they look for is the Price to Book ratio or P/B. This measurement looks at the valuethe market places on the book value of the company.

We can calculate the P/B by taking the current price per share and dividing by the book valueper share.

P/B = Share Price / Book Value Per Share

Like the P/E, the lower the P/B, the better the value. Value investors would use a low P/B isstock screens, for instance, to identify potential candidates.

P/B Ratio= Current Market PriceBook Price of the Stock

Current Market Price=148.90

Book Price of the Stock=105.48P/B Ratio=1.41

4.

Dividend Payout Ratio

Companies that pay higher dividends may be in mature industries where there is little roomfor growth and paying higher dividends is the best use of profits (utilities used to fall into thisgroup, although in recent years many of them have been diversifying).

Either way, we must view the whole DPR issue in the context of the company and itsindustry. By itself, it tells us very little.

DPR = Dividends Per Share / EPS

Dividends Per Share = 8.77

Earning Per Share = 19.51

Dividend Payout Ratio = 45%

5.

Dividend Yield

If you are a value investor or looking for dividend income then there are a couple of measurements that are specific to you. For dividend investors, one of the telling metrics isDividend Yield.

This measurement tells you what percentage return a company pays out to shareholders in theform of dividends. Older, well-established companies tend to payout a higher percentage thendo younger companies and their dividend history can be more consistent.

You calculate the Dividend Yield by taking the annual dividend per share and divide by thestock¶s price.

Dividend Yield = Annual dividend per share / Stock's price per share

Annual dividend per share = 8.77

Stock's price per share = 150.45

Dividend Yield = 5.82%

6.

Book Value

How much is a company worth and is that value reflected in the stock price?

There are several ways to define a company¶s worth or value. One of the ways you definevalue is market cap or how much money would you need to buy every single share of stock atthe current price.

Another way to determine a company¶s value is to go to the balance statement and look at theBook Value. The Book Value is simply the company¶s assets minus its liabilities.

Book Value = Assets - Liabilities

In other words, if you wanted to close the doors, how much would be left after you settled allthe outstanding obligations and sold off all the assets.

A company that is a viable growing business will always be worth more than its book valuefor its ability to generate earnings and growth.

Assets = 16615.97

Liabilities = 9304.00

Book Value = 7311.97

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS

Technical analysis is the analysis of past price changes in the hope of forecasting future price

changes. Technical analysis is a security analysis discipline for forecasting the futuredirection of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume.A stock or commodity market analysis technique which examines only market action such asprices, trading volume and open interest. It is the study of market behavior which tries todiscern patterns which enhance position taking. Among some of the tools and indicators usedare: charts, volume, open interest, put to call ratios, moving averages, and oscillators. Thiscompares to Fundamental Analysis and Conditional Analysis. Evaluating investments byassuming that the future price of a security can be predicted by analyzing the pastperformance of the stock and the market as a whole. Technicians are "number crunchers."This is the opposite of Fundamental Analysis.A method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by market activity, suchas past prices and volume. Technical analysts do not attempt to measure a security's intrinsic

value, but instead use charts and other tools to identify patterns that can suggest futureactivity. Technical analysts believe that the historical performance of stocks and markets areindications of future performance.

In a shopping mall, a fundamental analyst would go to each store, study the product that wasbeing sold, and then decide whether to buy it or not. By contrast, a technical analyst would siton a bench in the mall and watch people go into the stores. Disregarding the intrinsic value of the products in the store, the technical analyst's decision would be based on the patterns or activity of people going into each store.

In the technical analysis we have compare past stock price of Deepak Fertilizer with BSE SENSEX. Such that, how the stock price of a particular companymoves with the main SENSEX where company is listed?

From decades back to the 21st century, India has come a long way in theagriculture sector.
