EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Title : “3D product comparison of DAL V/s Biostadt, PI & HCL in Kadapa, Nellore &
Khammam districts of A.P.’’
Organization : Dhanuka Agritech Ltd.
Reporting officer : Mr. M.N. Rao ( Business Manager)
Faculty Guide : Dr. D. Ravi.
Student Name : Mr.Prashant U. Dharpure.
The project is undertaken to compare 3D products of Dhanuka Agritech Ltd. in three districts of
Andhrapradesh. The districts allotted to me are Kadapa, Nellore, & Khammam. The study has done in two
parts i.e. dealers & farmers. Apart from these the market potential for PGP or Zymes has been evaluated
along with a tab on the competitors and their strategies.
The dealers were evaluated on some parameters viz. Annual Turnover, Relative coverage of different
competitor in market, % of dealers promoting or not promoting zymes, Credit Period ,Credit sales as % of
total sales, Margin ,Market Analysis of 3D products & their competitors, Preferred Schemes/ Gifts, Major
constraints in selling 3D Products ,Most imp. Promotional activities, Satisfaction level of Dealers.
Further these dealers and retailer are very strong in their loyal customer base because of their personal
rapport with farmers and the credit leverages offered by them to their customers.
On financial aspects all the markets are highly credit-oriented. The socioeconomic profile of the farmers is
poor and because marginal land holdings, their repaying capacity and risk bearing ability is less. This is the
reason that most of farmers take the inputs on credit and clear the accounts after the cropping season and
thus the money that circulates between the company and end-users remains blocked as long as the length of
VAMNICOM, PUNE Page 7
cropping season. Though dealers accept that the credit period to clear their accounts to distributors is of 15
days but they are not able to clear the whole amount within the stipulated time as at an average more than
40% of dealers are forced to do the business on 60% or more credit sales.
The report also puts some light on farmers perception about 3D products by asking some questions on
following parameters viz Perception of Farmers about DAL, Biostadt, PI & HCL, Factors influencing
buying behavior of farmers, satisfaction Level of farmer
Farmers have very less knowledge about Zymes and these are the dealers who recommend the product and
give some consultancy. So it will be good to motivate them through giving some training on crop
management practices. The results show that at an average 75% dealers are interested to promote PGP and
hence it is easy to develop the market for PGP. Among the factors which motivate dealers to promote 3D
products, better quality of the product is ranked first by dealers. Then it is the effect of Zymes on
maintaining the soil fertility and reducing the effect of indiscriminate use of fertilizers on soil. Fieldwork
ranked second followed by better margin on PGPs, Demand of 3D products is one of the main constraints
in selling. High price is the main reason followed by packaging, promotional campaign & supply of the
products for not selling the Zymes
Many competitors are working at dealers’ levels mainly and very less work is going on at farmers’ level
that is the gap left by the competitors. The perception of dealers and farmers about these local
brands on the basis of assurance, responsiveness, empathy and reliability is average and some dealer
promotion scheme and farmer level extension activities as suggested in the action plan can help the
company to consolidate its business. The results indicate that Field demonstrations as best way of
popularising the 3D products as we can show the results and influence many farmers to use our
product after convincing them. In case of farmers, quality & price of the product are the main
reasons of influencing buying behavior of farmers. The study has done about perception of farmers
towards DAL & its major competitors viz Biostadt, PI & HCL
.
VAMNICOM, PUNE Page 8
The corporate image of DAL is also evaluated on the basis of product quality, pricing, promotional
campaign, packaging and fieldwork. The results show that it is having a high-perceived image in product
quality but the response on other four parameters is not satisfactory, which shows a scope to improve
further
The suggestions made to grow the business can be fruitful for the company and the action plan
suggested in a step-by-step manner to enter the market will definitely bring a profitable future. The
study also addresses the perceived image of DAL from dealers’ point of view so as to identify the areas
for improvement to prepare a loyal network of dealers who can be true partners for the company.The
study also addresses the views of the end users.
Finally the study concludes with the action plan to develop market for 3D products in a step-by-step
manner for a long-term relationship with custome

INTRODUCTION
Agriculture, inspite of its contribution of 14.8% to Indian GDP still provides bread and butter to 70% of
Indian population but its dependence on monsoon is nothing but a stark reality. The effect of bad
monsoon is not only felt at farmers’ level but also by the agri-input industry. Adding to this problem,
the increase in competition due to opening of the economy, increasing concerns about environmental
and soil pollution and onslaught by the local companies with their cheap brands have turned the market
into a battle ground where all the Indian companies and MNCs have to strive hard to get their share of
shrinking pie. To cope with the situation the companies must show competence in reducing the
marketing costs along with increase in sales. This can be done only if the companies have access to
right information from the market. Using this information, decisions at the strategic and tactical level
can be taken to increase the profit of the organization and to use the available marketing resources
efficiently.
Corporate or brand image is the essence of all experiences, thoughts and feelings about a company. A
successful brand image can drive a premium pricing and create barriers to entry for competition by
strengthening the loyalty of customers for any company. In fact marketing is battle of perceptions not
products the real driving force for any company in present competitive arena is recognition and
perception of its image.
In this present context the aim of marketing is therefore to address the need of the customers, the
creation of value through incorporating them into plans and later supporting them with a lasting
satisfaction programs.
Zymes being the new generation molecules and one of the latest biotechnological innovations in
agricultural field do not have a considerable
VAMNICOM, PUNE Page 11
Share in the mindset of end users. To keep in pace with new generation molecules, there is a need to
analyze the trend of various brands in the market, the prevailing market environment, need of the end
users along with the channel members will help the company in knowing the potential market. Here lies
the need of selecting such channel members who can be assets for the company and going ahead, a true
partner for the company.
Since it is very difficult to develop a separate niche on product front so it becomes imperative for any
company to start focusing on the base of the pyramid of the market viz.farmers dealers and the staffs
working with the ground operation. The company that will hone the aforesaid aspects will experience
the sweet taste of success.
The aim of agri-input companies must now be changing the purchasing behavior of the end users for
their products. The buying decision still mostly continues to be in dealers’ shops but now it has to be
changed to preconceived decision. The customer when comes to the shop should ask for a particular
product of a particular company. Thus creating brand awareness is what is required for doing business.
Therefore creating high recognition and powerful perception is the key to success.

State profile of Andhra Pradesh:
Andhra Pradesh is the fourth largest state in India with an area of 27.4 million ha. About 40% of the
area (10.9 million ha.) is the net cultivated area and around 70% of the population depend on
agriculture.. The state has 23 districts classified under three regions viz. Telangana (10 including
Hyderabad), Coastal Andhra (9 districts) and Rayalaseema (4 districts).
The state has tropical to subtropical climate. Humid to semi-humid conditions prevail in the coastal
area, while in the interiors of the state the climate is arid to semiarid. . The major crops grown here
include paddy, sugarcane, oilseeds, beans, and pulses (edible seeds from crops such as peas, lentils, and
beans). Agriculture plays a vital role in the economy of the state.
The diversified agro-climatic conditions have endowed the state with vast potential for the
development of horticulture and plantation crops. The state ranks second in the country in the
production and extent of area covered under fruit crops, next only to Uttar Pradesh. The area under
horticulture crops in the state increased substantially from 0.37 m ha during 1982 to 1.38 m ha during
2001, recording an average annual growth of 7.1%.Irrigation is the most important input for
agricultural production, besides soil and seed. The state is blessed with many major rivers, the most
important being Godavari, Krishna, Vamsadhara and Pennar.
The proposed coverage under different sectors are agriculture – 0.487 lakh ha covering crops viz.,
oilseeds, pulses, maize, cotton, tobacco etc; horticulture – 1.41 lakh ha covering crops viz., fruits,
vegetables, flowers, spices, medicinal and aromatic plants, plantation crops etc; sericulture – 0.246 lakh
ha under mulberry crop; and sugar – 0.338 lakh ha under sugarcane crop.

The state has a tropical climate with moderate diffusion to sub-tropical weather. Semi
humid conditions are prevailed in coastal areas.
The category of soil in the state ranges from poor coastal sands to highly fertile deltaic
alluvium. Black soils cover 25 % of the total cultivated land and the alluvial loamy clay soils found
in Krishna and Godavari deltas cover 5% of the cultivated area. The coastal sands occupy only 3%
while the remaining 1% is covered by laterite soils in certain pockets of the State.

FINDINGS ABOUT ZYME:
Zymes are one of the latest innovations in field of biotechnology that is residue free, non-toxic,
ecofriendly and natural source of plant nutrition prepared from Norwegian seaweed
(Ascophyllumnodossum). So far these Zymes are not a familiar term for Indian farmers who are striving
for sustainable cultivation. The market development for Zymes is the biggest hurdle for any company.
Under new economy the market has become highly competitive and Charles Darwin’s principle of
Survival of the fittest is truly applicable in agri-input marketing. Moreover the purchase decisions,
which are made in the stores by ignorant farmers, clearly indicate the importance of channel members at
the lower end of marketing pyramid. So it is of utmost importance to select such channel members who
have the ability to promote the products of any company.
FINDINGS ABOUT ZYME MARKET
The zyme markets in all the districts under study are covered by numerous local brands. Among the
leading companies its Biozyme from Biostadt, Biovita from Pesticide India, Cytone+ & Cytozyme from
HCL , N-Bloom from NACL were observed in these markets. These zymes are sold as bio products that can
substitute the harmful effects of fertilizers on soil and also to increase yield and better quality of Produce.
So Zymes are positioned in this manner still the acceptability of zymes is very less because farmers are
economically weak, having negligible knowledge about biotechnological innovations in PGP category and
low risk taking capability without seeing the results of zyme application. So dealers suggested for more
field level demonstrations from Zyme companies.
VAMNICOM, PUNE Page 28
TURNOVER OF ZYMES IN ANDHRAPRADESH
The above graph shows that Anantpuram is the biggest market for zymes (Granules) in Andhrapradesh,
followed by Guntur, Kurnool, Karimnagar, East Godawari, West Godawari,Mahboobnagar etc. In Graph it
clearly indicates that Turnover of zymes(Gr) is less in Kadapa, Nellore & Khammam. Especially in Nellore
the turnover of Zyme(Gr) is very less.

TURNOVER OF ZYMES IN KADAPA , NELLORE & KHAMMAM
In Kadapa District, Dhanzyme (Gr) turnover is highest among leading companies, followed by Biostadt &
Biovita. The major problem in this area is that farmer prefers Bio-Products of local companies, hence we
can see that the turnover of local companies is huge. Especially in Pulivendula market, this is credit
oriented market , hence sell is totally dependent on the dealers hand & as biocompanies giving hefty
margins to dealers , so they are promoting bio-companies products.

COMPETITORS’ STRATEGY-
1.Niche marketing-All the local brands are not operating in all the markets in a district but they have
selected only a few markets and pumping their resources in those particular market. That is the reason why
these brands are present only in some markets. Moreover they have prepared a network of loyal dealers
through schemes and heavy margins and through them doing their business.
2.Direct marketing-The local companies are directly approaching dealers and retailers in different markets
and convincing them to sell their brands. Most of local companies don’t have any distributor in their supply
chain, which is allowing them to fix heavy margins for these dealer
3.Dumping-Local brands are dumping their products in dealers’ shops and receiving their money after the
season or as per dealers’ convinience. The representative of the company is in regular touch with the
concerned dealer and monitoring the sales.
4.Promotional activities-The promotional activities include field level demonstrations and meetings only
by a few companies but most of the other companies are limiting their promotions up to dealer and retailer
level like schemes, offers, gifts, target discount and turnover discounts.
4.Margins-These local brands are able to give heavy margins to their dealers because of small scale of
operation. The margins are not constant on any product and it varies from market to market and even in the
same market also, based upon the demand for zymes, zyme usage level of farmers and intensity of
competition among dealers operating in same market.

FINDINGS OF THE PROJECT
Zymes are one of the latest innovations in field of biotechnology that is residue free, non-toxic,
ecofriendly and natural source of plant nutrition prepared from Norwegian seaweed
(Ascophyllum nodossum)
Zymes helps in improving soil fertility and reducing the effect of indiscriminate use of
fertilizers on soil.
Farmers have very less knowledge about Zymes and these are the dealers who recommend the
product and give some consultancy.
Marketing officers are not taking more interest in selling 3D products because of low turnover
& this product require more convincing to dealers & farmers.
The main competitors for Dhanuka Agritech Ltd in zyme category are Biostadt, Pesticide India,
Hyderabad Chemical Ltd & other bio- companies.
In Zyme category, Dhanuka has three products namely Dhanzyme granule, Dhanzyme Gold,
Dhanzyme liquid.
Dhanuka has sticking & wetting agent, Dhanuvit , the main competitor for this product are
Indotron from Indofil, Sandovit from syngenta.
The results show that at an average 75% dealers are interested to promote PGP and hence it is
easy to develop the market for PGP
The factors which motivate dealers to promote PGP better quality of the product is ranked first.
The reasons for not selling the Zymes are high price, packaging, & no demand.
In paddy crop , farmer are not interested to use any PGR
In some commercial belt , the demand for Dhanzyme is huge
Most of the farmers apply Dhanuvit in rainy season only, so it becomes seasonal product
Dhanzyme its known for quality, but in some area Biozyme brand is more popular.
VAMNICOM, PUNE Page 110
Biozyme has series of product like Biozyme Power+ , Crop+, Chilli special, Bt Biozyme, so
farmer give more preference to biozyme.
HCL has two products in different formulation i.e. Cytone+ & Cytozyme, quality of this
product is average, but HCL gives more margin to dealer & also employees of company do
hand selling.
Biovita from Pesticide India is at par with the quality of Dhanzyme & biozyme.
Zyme market is completely depend on push strategy, because awareness about these products
are less in farmers community
As per observations these products run mainly in credit market, as dealer sell it by force.
RECOMMENDATIONS AND SUGGESTION:
Sales team needs to take still more efforts for generating awareness among farmers about
importance of 3D products.
Special Schemes should be arrange for the dealers on the basis of turnover of 3D product.
Packing of Dhanzyme (Liquid) & Dhanuvit are same, so packing, labelling & colour of Dhanzyme
(L) bottle need to be change.
More emphasis should be given on advertising & promotional activities of 3D products.
5Technical field staff should be appointed
Field work should be improve to spread awareness of 3D product amongst farmers
Dhanuvit magic show should be done in all area , due to this farmer become more knowledgeable
and they will know the importance of dhanuvit
Field day should be organised on the selected plot to see the result of the product which helps in
mouth publicity of the product
Communication channel should be chosen as per attitude of farmers, Education level and standard
of living.
Progress of farmers and sales of company has direct relationship. Hence company should invest in
developing platform for success of farmers by training programmes and helpline centers
VAMNICOM, PUNE Page 111
Dealer & farmer gift to be given e.g. wallwatch with 3D product printed, Carrybag with 3D product
printed.
Field demonstration should be more to know the importance of 3D products & proper application
method.
Advertising to be done by flex boards , banners, participation in exhibition.
Dhanzyme product should be introduce in series like (Bt-Dhanzyme, Paddy special, Vegetable
special, Paddy special, Chilli special) which will provide option to farmer and attract them to use it.
Training programmes & special meetings should be organising by specialist for 3D products.
Dealer margin should be increase by some extent as these products are have not more demand in
the market.
Quality of Dhanzyme need to improve by some extent, as it gives slow result.
Packing of Dhanzyme should be varied sizes.
Field staff should be increase & meet regularly to farmers & make them aware about Dhanuka
product, as a result of which , farmer come to know about Dhanuka product which wll help in
making a good brand image.
