LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

History

The first of their Tea Plantations was established nearly 200 years ago as Tea was first planted on the slopes of the mountains that form the backbone of South India. (The Western Ghats). Over the next 100 years. Tea Plantations became a major activity transforming the landscape of these mountains, turning them into the manicured tea gardens they see today and providing employment and subsequently a reasonable standard of living, to the local population. In the early 1900's these estates saw consolidation and in 1907 Harrisons & Crosfield, whhich was set up as Tea Traders in 1857 in Liverpool, bought and established Malayalam Plantations Limited. As Owners and Managing Agents of Malayalam Plantations, Harrisons & Crosfield further consolidated their land holdings, including plantations in Rubber, to produce the highest quality of both Tea and Rubber in this part of the World. About 15 years ago, changing priorities of Harrisons & Crosfield saw the RPG Group, one of the largest business houses in India, take control of this Company. Harrisons & Crosfield in India and Malayalam Plantations were merged to establish Harrisons Malayalam Limited

 

Today, Harrisons Malayalam Limited., as the largest Plantation Company in South India, leads the industry in scientific and modern agriculture and manufacture. The Company also preserves its proud heritage of looking after its employees and evolving them with modern HR practices.

 

Co-existing with Nature, plantations in South India have a proud ecological history in harmony with nature. Their lands borders virgin tropical forest and, as such, they operate with a little "helping hand" from wild life. It is not uncommon for elephants to ramble in their rubber plantations or dig up tea bushes. The old bungalows while able to protect the occupiers from such ventures do regularly have panthers looking for a pet dog meal!

 

Performance

 

During the year under review, the Company recorded a turnover (including other income) of Rs.1526.800 Millions, (previous year Rs.1465.500 Millions). Healthy rubber prices throughout the year under review partly compensated for the significant decline in the price realised for tea. There was further progress in the Company's efforts towards better labour productivity through reorganised work and incentive schemes. Manufacture of both Tea and Rubber through bought raw material contributed towards improving the turnover.

 

Tea

 

Tea prices in South India witnessed a decline from April 2005 and the average for the financial year was Rs.42.38 per kg – a drop of over Rs.6 per kg from that of the previous year. The disparity between the price realized by the producers and the price paid by the consumer is still to be addressed by the market regulator though there is a widespread acceptance of the issue. As in earlier years, Surianalle teas continued to fetch the highest price in Cochin Auction. A total quantity of 2369 MT of Tea was exported mainly to Russia, Kenya and U.K through the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Sentinel Tea & Exports Limited.

 

Rubber

 

Rubber prices ruled at high levels throughout the year. RSS IV price recorded a high of Rs.83.75 in March 2006 for the financial year and is currently ruling at Rs.90.50 per kg.

 

Engineering

 

The Engineering Division registered a turnover of Rs.80.000 Millions as against Rs.47.300 Millions in the previous year. The order book position is healthy and the division is expected to perform better in terms of turnover and profitability in 2006-2007.

 

Sale of Estate

 

Sale of estate properties of the Company during the year includes sale of a Rubber Estate (Cheruvally) admeasuring 916 hectares situated in Erumeli and Manimala villages, Kanjirapally Taluk, Kottayam District, Kerala, as a going concern for a total consideration of Rs.630.000 Millions after obtaining approval of the Shareholders under Section 293(1 )(a) of the Companies Act, 1956.
