| Abstract | The study focuses into the crop protection business which forms a USD S24 Billion business on a global basis. The business consists of protecting the crops through specially identified and constituted Active Ingredients directed towards specific crop diseases and insects eating through the crops. There are 13 major Multinational Companies (across 3 tiers depending on their value size) and over 100 generic companies who are competitively involved in this business around the world. The business is segmented into 3 categories namely: Herbicides Fungicides Insecticides The study gives a brief outline of the world crop protection business and its future trend. It will discuss the Indonesian Macro and Micro economic conditions which are directly and indirectly a contributor to the crop protection business in the country. Each segment constitutes a wide range of active ingredients directed towards particular crop and crop category. Some ingredients are precautionary and are put before the crop has problems and some after. In Indonesia this business accounts for USD 268 Million shared by 5 major Multinational Companies and over 30 generics as on 2004 and is expected to grow @ 2-3 percentage YoY after adjusting for currency fluctuations. Thus it promises to be an attractive market considering the fact that most markets in this business is on the verge of saturation. |
