MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS 

The company has been able to create presence in two very important markets - East and North India, while maintaining its market dominance in North East India. It is the largest processor of Mustard/ Rape seed in India. The company has set up operations in Rajasthan along with its manufacturing facility in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, one of the most fertile mustard seed growing area as also a key commodity nerve center. 

 
The company today is one of the leading suppliers of edible oils to the Indian Defense forces and this tradition has been long maintained for the past few years. 

 
The company has made a concerted effort to move itself from a mustard oil producing company to a leading market focused FMCG led brand company. The opportunity in the Indian markets is huge - statistics show that 6 northern states of India consume 90% of the mustard oil produced in the country.

 

This throws up an opportunity of over 50 crore customers. 

 
Industry Overview: 

India today is the only country which has retail led growth left in the world, maybe, along with China. This retail and mall culture in the country poses a huge opportunity to the whole edible oil sector. A study by NCAER shows a major shift in the consuming class; while in 2003, India had 181 million households of which only 3 million were in the Rich bracket and 46 million as Aspirers, by 2013 India will have 231 million households out of which 11 million would be Rich and 124 million Aspirers! Thus the shape of India is going to change in the next 5 years - from being just a pyramid to a sparkling Diamond. 


Certain recent statistics are mind boggling and at the same time, is the Great India Opportunity that they strongly believe in - India today has a population of 1027 million which resides in 5545 towns and 638000 villages having 2.5 million and 5.0 million retail outlets respectively. 

 
This retail opportunity is waiting to be tapped; the surging middle class, growth of the IT/ ITES sector has given rise to a totally new breed of `spending' class for whom upgrading the lifestyle is most important. Thus, from a nation of savers, India for the next decade or so will be the nation of spenders. There has been shift towards spending habits and attitude - from a customer who was value conscious, a new consumer is being born who wants to rise in the value chain and is ready to pay a premium for it.

 

Products and brandsaddressing this new consumer segment will surge ahead in market share, mind share and profitability. Today Indian consumer confidence is highest in the world which shows the spending opportunity. 
 
Today India accounts for 7% of the global oilseeds and oil meal production and 10% of the world's consumption of edible oil. With the edible oil market size being at Rs 675 billion and the branded segment having 15% market share, the opportunity is huge. Also, with modern retail formats being just 3%, the penetration opportunity is mind boggling. 
 
Lastly, with an improvement in the lifestyle of the Indian consumer, healthy living will be a priority which will create an immense opportunity for edible oil sector. A latest report from FICCI suggest that the branded edible oils market is expected to grow at 20% per annum, which will not only spur the demand for edible oils but will drive demand towards branded and organized edible oil players. 

 
Business Direction: 

The company has had a fantastic year in 2006-07 and they have taken certain strategic steps to ensure that the company is able to become a national level player in the next few years. This year the company clocked a turnover over 79% over the past one year and profitability increased by 278% in the current year. 

 
Two very clear cut strategies worked for the company which will be the focus in the times to come; increased margins through retail led sales and entering into newer markets like North and East India. The company completely re-vamped the way it did business and some of the key measures are discussed as below: 
 
Retail led manufacturing strategy: 

The company has followed a very successful retail led manufacturing strategy whereby special emphasis was laid in production of retail packs, packaging and quality. This retail thrust has helped the company increase profitability substantially and today retail sales contribute 20% of the total sales of the company which will increase in the coming years. 

 
New markets Strategy - Acquisition of Business and Customers: 

During the current year, their acquisition strategy on two fronts were very strategic - they created manufacturing facility in North India by acquiring one facilitiy and one leased in Rajasthan which was strategic in the procurement of Mustard seeds and to reaching out to newer markets in North and East India. This has helped up ramp up production and helped them acquire customers and market share in these two new markets; also, a significant shift has been in the increased retail sales in the new geographies. 

 
Distribution and Marketing set up: 

Another area which has been their key focus is creating a strong retail and distribution backbone. The company today has a strong and well spread distribution network of over 350 distributors and 35 CDP's (Central Distribution Points) which is helping the company reach out its retail packs to a larger audience in a quick and efficient manner. The company has a strong team of near to 100 people in the marketing division which is ensuring world class logistics support to create a fast and agile FMCG company. 

 

Brand led product focus: 

The current year saw them heavily investing in both product and consumer R and D - they have put in place world class standards in R and D for packaging, quality and products. This has helped us to create a brand led product focus and strengthen their brands Double Sher, Kalash, K S Refined and K S Gold in the minds of the consumer. Today they are a quick turnaround company which is investing heavily in building brands and customer experiences. 
 
Opportunities and Threats: 

The new age Indian consumer, the organized retail potential which is creating the huge consumption opportunity is by far the biggest Opportunity for companies like them. With the aspirational and rich class in India having a better penetration, their retail and brand led growth will help the company in both the immediate and long run. Also, with the rural India being revisited by marketers through the modern retail (haat) philosophy, the opportunity is huge. 


India is also seeing a great increase in life style led diseases like heart ailments and cardio vascular illness which is said to rise much higher than other nations; this creates a potential for healthy edible oil and mustard being one of the world's most heart friendly oil, consumers will be eager to adapt to branded and quality led mustard oil brands. 
 
Competition from Indian and global players remain a matter of concern and probable threat; while the company is well prepared to tackle such issues on an ongoing basis, K. S. Oils ability towards product differentiation, value addition and being one of the most low cost producers will help it address any threats from competition.
