Literature Review

Before some year, one M.B.A. student Was Done project in this company For subject of Cotton situation & Use. They are finding that All types of farmers from Marginal to Large farmers were growing mainly Bt and some of them were also growing Non-Bt but major farmers were satisfied with Bt only. \ Yield (per-Acre) Revenue (per-Acre) Total Expense (Cultivation cost) per-Acre Net Profit Non-B.T Cotton 7 14000 9500 4500 B.T Cotton 9 18000 11000 7000

Overall, this study also underlines that one must be careful not to draw far reaching conclusions about the prospects of Bt cotton in India too quickly because 2002 was the first season of commercial use. Nevertheless, the results presented in this study can serve as a starting point for further evaluation. Due to the high diversity of cotton growing in India more location-specific information is required. Thus, the benefits of conducting more economic studies in other areas would be significant.

Crop Protection
We are the leading global producer and exporter of crop protection and post-harvest agriculture chemicals. We have a sensitive role to play in the agricultural sector by providing complete solution to the farmers, from sowing to harvesting. We have deployed our resources in developing effective crop protection solutions through pre and post harvest product segments. Pre-Harvest In the agrochemical industry, we offer a wide range of crop protection products, such as Fungicides, Insecticides, Aquatic Algaecides and Fumigants. These products are developed to meet and exceed the expectations of our customers in the areas of quality and performance. We offer a wide range of post-patent products: - Herbicides - Insecticides - Fungicides - Miticides - Soil and Plant Health Products - Rodenticides

Post-Harvest Grain fumigants, fruit coatings, cleaners and sanitizers, and DECCO brand storage treatments make up the post harvest product line.

12

Decco
Packaging and transport of perishable commodities like fresh fruits is a big challenge in a country like India. As an Indian company, we at United Phosphorus have developed DECCO for the post-harvest system. For several decades, the farmers and the packers around the world have trusted DECCO. DECCO as the post-harvest product and its services of have processed countless billion pieces of citrus fruits, stone fruits, tropical fruits and vegetables.

What is DECCO?
DECCO means (the DECay COntrol) of fruits and vegetables. DECCO produces high quality coatings to be used on fruits and vegetables. The film of coating used on fruits and vegetables provides long lasting shine, controls shrinkage and dehydration, thereby making transportation easier for longer periods of time. All the ingredients utilized in manufacturing DECCO are approved by the F.D.A, the EU and the P.F.A in India, as food grade materials. Prominent features of DECCO range of products: - Visual appeal, shine and cosmetic value - Increased shelf-life of fruits and vegetables - Fungicides - Minimization of fungus growth - Shrinkage control which reduces weight loss The above factors help in improving the marketability of products and enable the producers to obtain the highest value for their produce. Some of the prominent fruits and vegetables which can be treated with the DECCO range of fruit products are: - Mango - Apple - Kinnow - Orange, sweet lime, lime - Plum, peach, pear - Tomato - Capsicum

14

Grain Fumigants
The farmers invest a huge amount of money in the production of grains. It is very important that they get a proper price for their produce to improve the farm economy. We always talk about the pre-harvest concept about increasing grain yield. The data available with us show that almost 15% to 20% of the grain produced in our country is lost during storage due to the attack of storegrain pests. Therefore, it is very important to save the grains during storage from the attack of pests. We offer solution through QUICKPHOS.

What is QUICKPHOS? - It protects the grains from the attack of insects and pests during storage - It contains 15% aluminum phosphide - It contains swallow guard bitrin which provides added safety - It comes in an attractive tube packaging. One tube contains 4 tablets of 12gm each. - It is effective for protection of grains stored in bins as well as gunny bags.

32

 Problem Finding:
In this project, my over all Experience is very good. This project is very helpful for me. After these projects I have find that in the Ahmedabad Aria major soil is clay & sandy type. They grow majorly paddy in gugri type seed. & UPL seed, PAC 801 is less contribution in paddy growing aria.

Also I found that, in the Herbicide use.. UPL is Stand no2 in market, with our product SAATHI. One interesting finding is that 84% farmer knows about SAATHI product, but only 24% farmer is use that. So UPL should make more afford to improve SAATHI product.

Average Farmer are getting 200 Rs. For 20 kg selling seed price. & also their average cost of weed controlling is 400 to 800.

One is most imported thing is that most of Farmer have satisfied with UPL and 00% poor or bed experience. As about my Knowledge UPL is very best company of agriculture sector, not only India but All Asia!

33

 Limitations of the Study

In this research Time, my survey Aria is very big And Limited time. That time I face that Some Rural individual problem, Thats way process of Collect information was very tuff

Time management is one of the limitations.

Rural survey is very difficult and tuff task For Any Person. So Transportation, Survey Aria, and other some rural problem I was face, That have Make Difficulty.

I think All Limitation is not Limitation but, they are opportunity to make perfect.

34

35

Suggestions 1. Currant time companys Distribution officer and Dealers Have Face Some problem of Product Distribution and irregular Supply, So They Should Improve

2. UPL should focus on local Expectation of farmer, individually. Because some market benefit have loss For Error local product in UPL. Ex. In Paddy market, 82% farmer grows Gugri seed, but that type of segment is not available in UPL.

3. UPL(west zone) Have Not Proper Promotion Department. One single territory officer is alone done sells, distribution, marketing, promotion and all Activity. Promotion is activity that is done with specific research and more innovative study. This task is not possible with all responsibility. So I think, UPL should make one promotion & research team.

4. UPL Should make business more Effective & individual. WE know UPL is good Company, but they should apply new think like C.R.M.(customer relationship management) & some new management concept.

36

Conclusion...

Our research in the field of Agricultural based product threw up some interesting trends which can be seen in the above analysis. A general impression that we gathered during Data collection was the immense awareness and knowledge among people(rural) about various companies and their Agriculture products. People are beginning to look beyond local seed and traditional Agri. method. People in general have been impression by the marketing and advertising campaigns of Agriculture companies. A high penetration of print, radio and Television ad campaigns over the years is beginning to have its impact now. The general satisfaction levels among public with regards to policy and Dealer, s still requires improvement. But therein lays the opportunity for a relative new comer like Bayer, Rashi, Bolgard, has never been known for prompt service or customer oriented methods and united phosphors limited can build on these factors.
