Economic Review

1.1 Global Economy

Throughout the scal year 2022-23, the global economic situation remained challenging. The rise in in ation, which began in early 2021, accelerated signi cantly throughout 2022. In response to the spike in in ation, which reached between two and seven decade highs in the majority of developed nations in 2022, there has been a rapid global increase in policy interest rates. While in ation reached its peak in most countries during the last scal year and has declined signi cantly since then, current in ation rates in the majority of nations remain well above the average for the decade preceding the pandemic. As a result, monetary policy tightening continues in most countries. In addition, the majority of central banks have begun withdrawing the liquidity that was injected during the pandemic, resulting in a tightening of the nancial markets. Despite the fact that actual growth in many countries in 2022 was higher than had been anticipated, with aggressive policy tightening, geopolitical uncertainties, rising protectionism, and deteriorating business and consumer sentiments, the global growth outlook for the current and the subsequent year remains subdued.

The most recent projections from the World Economic Outlook of the International Monetary Fund indicate that the global economy is not likely to enter a recession in the current or the following year. However, with two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth, there could be a technical recession in Europe and possibly even in the United States. However, according to the IMFs projections, the US economy is unlikely to experience a GDP contraction in the current or following year.

1.2 Indian Economy

Indias economy has now become the fth-largest in the world on nominal GDP (US dollars) and is set to become the second fastest growing economy in FY 2023, despite the slower global demand and tightening of monetary policy to manage in ationary pressures.

The Indian economy is projected to record a relatively healthy Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 6.1% (Source: IMF) in FY 2023 and is showing signs of moderation.

GDP growth is expected to decline to 5.7% in FY 2024, as exports and domestic demand growth moderate. In ation will slow private consumption but moderate along with improved global conditions, to accelerate growth to 6.9% in FY 2025. The key drivers for medium-term growth are increasing public sector expenditure on infrastructure, supply-side and nancial reforms (GST and better tax compliance, bankruptcy court, bad bank, etc.), Indias digital architecture that includes the universal payment systems, nationwide identi cation framework, distribution of welfare schemes, healthcare o cial data stack intended to solve social, inclusion needs, and logistics and favourable demographics are expected to set the economy on the path of recovery.

Retail in ation prints peaked in September 2022 and have since begun to ease, helped by favourable base e ects. In ation is expected to remain sticky in the coming months before gradually rolling o in 2023-24 as growth slows and input price pressure abates. The USD/Rs expected to consolidate between 80 and 84 over the next two years.

Industry structure and developments

The India sh market is driven by the huge export potential it o ers. The market accounts for about 6% of the global production. Currently, the country represents one of the largest producers of sh in the world. In recent years, India has witnessed a huge growth both in domestic consumption, as well as the export of shes, consequently enhancing the India sh market. Also, the per capita consumption of sh has increased over the past several years.

At present, the consumption of the product in India is being driven by a number of factors. These include lifestyle changes, the rising cost of meat, and the rising awareness of sh as a healthy food containing high levels of digestible protein, cholesterol-lowering capability, and PUFA.

Fish is a limbless cold-blooded vertebrate animal, which has gills and ns. It is enriched with calcium and phosphorus and are a good source of minerals, like iron, iodine, magnesium zinc, and potassium. It is a low-fat high-quality protein and is lled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins, including D and B2 (ribo avin).

The global sh meal market is expected to exhibit a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% during 2023-2028. Fish meal refers to a feed ingredient that is primarily manufactured by cooking, pressing, drying, and milling raw sh or sh trimmings.

Growing demand for naturally sourced protein additives in animal feed, rising consumption of sh as a main food in di erent regions and increasing number of individuals inclined towards non-vegetarian dishes are some of the key driving factors for the market growth. However, high cost uctuations and rising substitutes of shmeal products are some of the factors hindering the market growth. Moreover, the market players have enough opportunity to come up with new and improved products which is going to boost the share of shmeal in the global market.

Our Company, "Vistar Amar Limited" is engaged in processing of sh and sh related activities and is continued to progress in utilizing all the opportunities during 2022-2023.
