THAT’S SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE, AND WHAT MONSANTO IS ALL ABOUT. As a nation, we depend upon what farmers do and will continue to. Rising population, JURZLQJIRRGIHHGDQGͤEUH demand, combined with stagnant or diminishing natural resources – land, water and energy, have given rise to the need to enable farmers to optimize agriculture productivity. Over the next few decades, farmers will need to grow as much food as they have in the last ten millennia to meet the rising demand for food. Our objective is to partner with farmers to achieve this goal. We do this by researching and developing seeds, traits through biotechnology, and crop protection chemicals. The challenge Meeting the needs of today, while preserving the planet for tomorrow Our commitment Improve Lives by enabling farmers to produce more to meet present and future needs, while preserving a greener planet for the years to come. Producing more Better farm inputs, higher farm yield and marketable produce are the foundation of farmers feeding themselves and the human race. Globally, we are committed to enabling farmers to double their yields in our core crops (maize, soya and cotton) by 2030. These yield gains will come from a combination of advanced seed breeding, inthe-seed biotechnology traits, improved farming practices and partnerships. This fundamental shift of farmers’ focus towards producing more from less will help secure the ever increasing population and demand for better food, feed, DQGͤEUH7KLVZLOOKHOSSURYLGH food, nutritional and water security via affordable choices for all. Conserving more Stagnating or diminishing availability of land, water and energy will challenge the ability of farmers to provide food and feed for all in the coming years. Monsanto India Limited Agriculture uses a majority of the planet’s fresh water. With farmers facing unprecedented challenges to continually increase crop productivity, farmers need to produce more with less. This is why we’ve strengthened our goal of doubling crop yields by using one-third fewer natural resources, such as land, water and energy, for every unit produced. We are constantly developing better seeds, traits and improving farming practices to enable farmers to optimize natural resources and equip them with tools to overcome crop challenges, such as weeds, pests and environmental stresses. Improving lives Farmers seek personal prosperity through improving professional productivity. They wish to progress and prosper with healthier diets, greater educational opportunities and brighter futures for their families. And this is enabled by increasing yield and income. Enabled by innovation. So, whatever the world looks like from where you stand, the truth is that we are all in this together. We truly believe that by working together, in partnership, we can create a brighter and more sustainable world for all of us. And it begins with a farmer. Because...

Annual Report 2012-13 6 02-09 Corporate Review Chairman’s Message CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE “My only desire is that India should be a good producer and no one should be hungry, shedding tears for food in my country.” - Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Dear Shareholders, For over 66 years, our farmers have been working assiduously WRIXOͤOWKLVGUHDPDQGFRQWULEXWHGWUHPHQGRXVO\WR,QGLD̵VVHOI VXIͤFLHQF\JRDOV&ORVHWRSHUFHQWRIRXUFRXQWU\PHQOLYHLQ rural areas, linked around the farming economy and food, feed, ͤEUHVXSSO\FKDLQ7RGD\DJULFXOWXUHHPSOR\VDERXWSHUFHQW of our population. A report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and McKinsey forecasts food consumption in India to double by 2030, on the back of rising incomes, fuelled by a rapidly growing GDP. There are a number of reasons for the above estimation. First, the per capita income, up by 11.6 per cent in the last year at Rs. 68,747 in 2012-13 against Rs. 61,564 in 2011-12, clearly demonstrates that the country is moving in the right direction. Secondly, when combined with urbanization and evolving lifestyles, this will ultimately lead to a change in patterns of food consumption with an increasing proportion of proteins, fruits and vegetables. The biggest opportunity to improve lives and increase agricultural output of Indian farms is to serve the farmer. There have been impressive gains in a couple of crops in the past decade, yet the challenges and opportunities before the Indian farmer are immense. Consider the realities of a changing climate, stagnant or diminishing natural resources and unpredictable weather. With crop yields far below international benchmarks, India is yet to realize the optimum potential of her farmers, her land, diverse natural resources and agriculture VFLHQWLͤFWDOHQW7KHJRDOVUHPDLQWKHVDPH̰WRLQFUHDVH productivity and farmers’ income. Thus, improving lives too. The need of the hour is to enhance the viability of farming as a profession, enabling Indian farmers to improve their yields and OLYHV7KHͤUVWVWHSLVLQQRYDWLRQ,QWKHͤHOGDQGLQWKHZD\ZH enable farmers to tackle farm challenges, is vital. For India to FDWHUWRWKHIRRGIHHGDQGͤEUHQHHGVRIDJURZLQJSRSXODWLRQ farmers’ progress is imperative. The use of the latest seeds, knowledge, practices, technologies and market access must be encouraged. Research into better seeds, nutrients and practices fostered. 7 10-25 Strategic Review 26-87 Statutory Reports and Financial Statements The use of the latest seeds, knowledge, practices, technologies and market access must be encouraged. Farmers, enabled with access to the world’s innovative products and technologies can make India a self-sufficient global contributor in agriculture. The Indian farmer, over the years, has been an entrepreneur. He has been quick to adopt better inputs and techniques that work for him. Information and technology are empowering the farmer to make informed decisions about crops, seeds and techniques, and is ushering in refreshed awareness. Our Annual Report underscores the Monsanto vision for sustainable agriculture and sows the seeds for our future direction. We remain committed to our Pledge by innovating products and services and partnering the public, private, development sectors to improve agriculture, and improve farmers’ lives. We believe in sustainable agriculture, improving the lives of farmers by enabling him to produce more with less. We, at Monsanto India Limited, are proud to partner the farmers in their progress.

As a nation, we expect farmers will meet consumer demand, overcoming the challenges of limited natural resources and a changing climate, while protecting the environment. As a Company, helping farmers succeed presents an opportunity to enable farmers to improve lives by increasing agricultural output on farms, to feed and clothe the nation. We put farmers at the centre, believing improving agriculture, improves lives. The seed and technology industry represent the potential of yield-optimizing products, practices, and partnerships to create shared value for 130 million farmers, by enabling them to produce more while improving soil and water quality, meet the needs of the user industry and nation, enhance rural incomes and create jobs which catalyze economic opportunities around the farm, between villages and towns, across sectors. India’s crop yields are far below global averages. We believe in India’s opportunity to unleash the potential of her farmers, land, diverse natural resources, and agriculture science talent in sustainable way. From The Field in 2012-13 Farmers continued to prefer your Company’s Dekalb® maize hybrid seeds across 18 states for enabling them to produce more, and improve lives. During the kharif (wet) season 2012-13, especially in key maize areas of Maharashtra and North Karnataka, delayed rainfall impacted farmers and India’s maize productivity. Our Dekalb® business performed well despite environmental vagaries – a result of superior products, practices, and farmer partnerships. Farmers rewarded DKC 8101 with volume growth for its water stress tolerance. In the rabi (dry) season, farmers preferred the Dekalb®SRUWIROLRHQDEOLQJVLJQLͤFDQWJURZWKLQ%LKDUZLWK'.& 9081 leading the way.

In the area of services and improving agronomic practices, our ͤHOGVDOHVDQGPDUNHWGHYHORSPHQWWHDPFRQWDFWHGRYHUDPLOOLRQ farmers directly across States, and our Monsanto Farm AgVisory® Service (MFAS) offered over 900,000 farmers timely, customized crop management advisory from sowing-to-harvest, enabling farmers to enhance yields and income. We are also participating in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in Jammu & Kashmir, Odisha, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, and in development sector partnerships for sustainable agriculture to improve farmers’ lives by increasing yields via better inputs, knowledge and market linkages. The value created and shared from our innovative products, services and partnerships enables us to improve lives in the areas of sustainable agriculture, nutrition, education, human rights and disaster rehabilitation. In partnership with eight NGOs, we have improved lives of 143,000 farmer families through sustainable agriculture; improved learning levels of 57,000 children; enhanced food and nutritional security of 150,000 children via the mid-day meal program; and supported 10,000 families through agriculturebased disaster rehabilitation in 2012-13. Our people’s passion for farmers and agriculture, enabled by a purpose-driven, collaborative, grassroots culture and matrix structure creates a Great Place To Work®. It is humbling that we’re recognized among Great Place To Work® in India and/or India’s Best Employers in nine out of the last ten years. Our people access cross-functional and functional specialist experiences, aiding career lifecycle growth and development. Harvesting the Future Domestic maize demand is forecast to grow by 36 per cent by 2017, and to double by 2022, with demand outstripping supply. Farmers choosing maize hybrid seeds have almost doubled maize production in the last 11 years, yet India’s maize yields are half the world average. By adopting maize hybrid seeds and leveraging India’s unique geographical advantage, India can emerge as a leading global exporter of maize to meet the rising needs of the Far East. To help farmers overcome the challenges of rising cost of cultivation primarily driven by labour costs we are working on Roundup Ready® and Yieldgard® in-the-seed technologies WRRIIHUPDL]HIDUPHUVWKHFKRLFHRIGXDOEHQHͤWVRIVXSHULRU insect protection, with convenient, flexible and effective weed management, to optimize maize yields. An improved regulatory environment will enable farmers to access cutting-edge products and practices to optimize crop yields, income, improve convenience, manage crop stresses (water, pests, weeds, diseases), and reduce risks. India’s science-based regulatory system is comparable with the best in the world, yet can evolve in predictability. Research needs the encouragement of regulatory predictability, so after research, testing and meeting stated protocols, we can offer farmers new technologies. Farmers are smart and deserve wider choices. Farmers will only reward products, practices and partnerships which create shared value, with acres on their farms. It is high time our nation witnessed concerted action for farmers, science, and economic growth. A progressive vision for farmers, food and agriculture, which Centre and State Governments, agriculture universities, private and development sector – all work to deliver. In keeping with our Monsanto Pledge, we will continue to engage WUDQVSDUHQWO\VKDULQJNQRZOHGJHLQIRUPDWLRQDQGEHQHͤWVEH accessible, dialogue, address concerns, respect diversity, and lead responsibly. In doing so, we will stay 100 per cent focused on farmers. It’s our biggest strength, and opportunity.

Born and raised in agricultural surroundings, Sadanand has been acquainted with farming since his childhood. During his 20 years of farming, he has witnessed the transformation his profession is undergoing. To grow, and be competitive, thinking about today, and the future, Sadanand made a few choices. Present “Progress of today’s farmer is dependent on innovation.” In rabi (dry) season of 2010, Sadanand chose to plant Dekalb® maize hybrid seeds on 10 acres, yielding 4.3 tons per acre. Identifying seeds as key to improvements on his farm, he chose to increase planting Dekalb® maize hybrid seeds to 25 acres in rabi 2011. And with improved farming practices, he raised yields to 4.7 tons per acre. Today, Sadanand plants Dekalb® maize seeds across 30 acres, which is more than 75 per cent of his land holding. He has improved his life with sustainable yield and income. Future “Progress of today’s farmers’ is dependent on innovation.

In SURGXFWLRQWHUPVLWUDQNVͤUVW in the world, followed by wheat and rice. On the consumption side, the majority of its use is as animal feed; followed by industrial use in producing starch and other industrial products; and in some parts, food. India’s maize overview India is the world’s sixth ODUJHVWSURGXFHUDQGͤIWK largest consumer of maize. The nation’s eight million maize farmers produced approximately 22 million tons of a maize crop from 8.5 million hectares in 2012-13. Over the recent decade, as farmers increasingly chose maize hybrid seeds, maize production in India has witnessed a quantum leap. The country is witnessing a maize revolution, as farmers are choosing maize hybrid seeds on 52 per cent of India’s maize areas. Farmers choosing maize hybrid seeds have contributed to increasing maize production by approximately 93 per cent in the last 11 years (22.50 million tons in 2012-13 from 11.15 million tons in 200203). Yet, India’s maize yields continue to be half of the world average, with India’s yield at 2.47 tons per hectare in comparison with the world average yield of 5.14 tons per hectare. ,QWKHQH[WͤYHDQGWHQ\HDUV India’s domestic demand for maize is forecasted to outstrip supply. The country’s maize demand is forecast to grow by 36 per cent in the next four years touching 30 MT in 2017, and double within the next nine years to touch about 44 MT by 2022. If India can enable her farmers to raise maize yields, its unique geographical advantage can enable it to emerge as a leading global exporter to meet the needs of South East Asia.
