CHAPTER II
CASE ANALYSIS
2.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Rallis is a TATA Group company and second biggest in Agrochemical Industry. Rallis has
always been admired for its marketing prowess and its network strength. The comprehensive
range of agro inputs and services are spread across 80% of India's districts through an
extensive distribution network of loyal and supportive dealers and retailers. Rallis has always
strived hard to provide farmers a complete bucket of solutions right from sowing of seed to
harvesting of crop. Rallis has been a pioneer in launching the new products and is known in
the industry for it ability in quick establishment of brands. Many of the current brands have
stood the test of time and remained strong in their respective domain.
Rogor is one such brand which has been a market leader in the molecule for more than 40 yrs
(market share of ~ 50%). For the past few years, Isagro has also been selling by Rogor
brand name, but Tata Rogor has stood its ground. Recently the Rogor brand name been
taken over by Cheminova and Rallis has decided to go for its own new brand name -
TAFGOR. The pack design has been retained.
Rallis now needs to work out: an appropriate strategy and communication for the market
for its new brand – TAFGOR.
Rallis Dimethiote, till now sold by name TATA Rogor now faces a threat from the fact a
multinational company, through acquisition, has gained control of the brand name Rogor.
Since Rogor is a brand name of longstanding presence and has substantial brand equity, it is
obvious that both abrupt discontinuation of the brand name and shuffle of the brand
properties can prove to be imprudent. A brand is a composite of many variables and any
shuffling-reordering will destroy the brand or prevent its transfer to another entity. (Tagfor)
The question before Rallis is how to transit successfully from “Tata Rogor” to a the new
brand without losing out on the brand advantages accrued over decades and how not to be
compromised in the inevitability of another Rogor appearing in the market.

CHAPTER IV
FINDINGS AND SUGGESTIONS
4.1 POSITIVE:
4.2 NEGATIVE:
34
4.3 SUGESSION
Dealers are Neutral for TATA and Cheminova, and when farmer will ask for Rogor he will
put that companies Rogor which will give me More Margin so it is important to promote
dealers by providing some incentive and encourage him to promote Tafgor as he is the
important bridge between farmer Tafgor .
Cheminova don’t have market network here and no manager visit us which help Tata to
promote Tafgor as Rogor with name change.
One who will do the promotion earlier will grab the opportunity.
Company need to promote Tafgor with more of group meeting, poster, leaflets etc. to create
awareness among the farmers.
If Cheminova starts promoting Tafgor as duplicate it may create problem for Tafgor for that it
is important to create awareness in farmers mostly through dealers and company
representative.
Bus stand hoardings and big size banners will help you to educate many farmers about Name
change as Tafgor.
Tata is the most reliable and trusted brand of both market which help to promote Tafgor also
effectively
