􀁺 Domestic agrochemical industry declined during the year; global counterpart grew 17% to USD 44.9bn.


􀁺 The Indian seed industry, world’s sixth largest (>` 70bn) has grown at 12% p.a. in the past couple of years compared to 6-7% internationally. In India, commercial seeds account for only 25% of the potential, providing tremendous opportunity in this space.
