Consolidação no setor de insumos agrícolas na Índia

Experts are saying the Indian agricultural inputs sector, which includes agrochemicals and fertilizer, is heading for a fresh round of consolidation over the next five years where more than a dozen deals could be sealed, writes Ashish Kulshrestha on EconomicTimes.IndiaTimes.com.

The key factors fueling consolidation in the domestic market include large mergers and acquisitions in the global market, incentives by the government for larger players and prolonged unfavorable monsoon spells affecting many firms.

Consolidation at the global level of Monsanto-Bayer, Dow Chemical-Du Pont and ChemChina-Syngenta, among others, is triggering a corresponding consolidation of their arms in the Indian agrochemical space. 

With global acquisitions, the global agrochemical and seed industry is now being controlled by four big players, as against six earlier, commanding a market share of 55-60%, according to a Deloitte report.
