INDUSTRY COMMENTS

 

MSIC CODE

5222 : Retail sale of other foodstuffs

 

 

INDUSTRY :

FOOD & BEVERAGES

 

 

 


Agricultural output will be further boosted by the projected increase in food production resulting from the various incentives and development programmes mounted by the government to reduce the high food import bill as well as to raise farmers' income through diversification into high value food crops and farming, including aquaculture, floriculture and cultivation of medicinal plants.


During the January to November 2007, domestic food manufacturing surged by 7.9%. The food and beverage sector remains dynamic with the opening of new international and local food chains and outlets throughout the country. The industry's potential has also attracted the interest of investors in hospitality-linked companies including the introduction of a new budget hotel chain patterned after the concept of budget airlines.


Agricultural produces for food is one of the main thrusts of the Government towards country's self-sufficiency, and also as a major contributor to the country's development. The objective is expected to be achieved through concerted efforts to reduce food imports and fully utilise the nation's resources. Imports of meat products currently stand at about RM2 billion annually.


In addition, turning Malaysia into a halal food hub is still on the agenda, which partly supports the positive outlook on the domestic food industry; this is a niche market that is not seen to be vulnerable to the effects of an economic slowdown in the US. Meanwhile, another area that has experienced growth and is poised to expand further this year is the processing and preservation of fish and fish products.


The Government has identified the processed food industry as one of the major growth sectors of the economy under the Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP). Under the 9MP, the food commodities subsector is expected to grow at an average rate of 7.6% per annum through improvements in efficiency and productivity as well as expansion in hectarage. Exports of food commodities will be increased to achieve a positive food trade balance. The production of 'padi' will be increased to meet the target of self-sufficiency level of 90%. The production of fruits will be undertaken on a large-scale in the fruit production zones using the cluster development approach and concentrating on nine fruit species which have export potential. The production of vegetables will focus on high value varieties for local consumption and selected export markets. The Green Book Programme to promote cultivation of food crops at the community level will be reactivated.


The Government has approved an allocation of RM11.4 billion representing an increase of 70% compared with the Eighth Plan allocation for the sector. Among the objectives of the plan are large-scale commercial farming and greater application of modern technology and ICT to produce higher value-added processed food and food products.


Note : The Ninth Malaysia Plan (9MP) was tabled in Parliament on March 31, 2006, is the five-year blueprints within the new National Mission policy and implementation framework from now until 2010. Malaysia is expected to see some structural changes and improved performance in the economy

 

 

OVERALL INDUSTRY OUTLOOK : Average Growth



BASIS COMMENTS

 


Established in 1989 as a sole proproetorship, the SC is principally engaged in the trading of food ingredients mainly for bakeries, biscuit manufacturers and others. With almost 2 decades of experience in the business, the SC has fairly rich experiences in the business and has achieved a certain market share. The SC's business is quite stable.


The SC's business operations are predominantly in Malaysia especially for food manufacturers. As such, any adverse developments in the economic environment and uncertainties in Malaysia could materially and adversely affect the business prospects of the SC. Its business risk is high compared to the export oriented company. Under the control of its owner, Sim Mong Yong, and assisted with only 2 employees in the operation, the SC's management capability is considered as weak.


As the SC registered as a sole proprietorship, its financial statement is no available for analysis. As such, we are unable to ascertain the SC's financial health. The SC's ability to meet its obligations is very much dependent on the owner's financial strength.


To reduce the risk of component shortages, the SC sources its raw materials locally and imported from overseas countries such as Europe, US and Asia countries. Thus, it is subjected to the currency fluctuation risk.


Based on our databank, the SC is clear from any litigation case.


The industry remains robust with continuing strong global demand for its products. There is no doubt that the food industry is growing, in tandem with the rising population. However, being a small company, the SC faces fierce competition from others well established company.


During our investigation, we have tried to obtain the SC's business expiry license date. However, they refused to provide any information on its business expiry license date. In view of this, we regard granting credit to the SC to be quite risky. Hence, credit is not recommended.
