LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

 

HISTORY :

 

Promoted by Jyoti Prakash Kanoria, Madhu Kanoria and S M Parekh, unique Organics (UOL) is engaged in the Manufacture and export of spice Oil, spice oleoresins and spice powder.

 

The Company commenced exports from Dec.94. main products of the company are chilli / paprika oleoresin and capsicum powder of different colour values and pungency level. The production facility  for the manufacture of spice oleoresion has an installed capacity of 27 tap. In 1995, the company Proposed to undertake an expansion programme, Which envisages capacity enhancement for processing 81 tpa of spice oleoresins and an additional capacity of 1260 tpa for spice powder is manufacturing facilities are located at Sitapura, Rajasthan. It come out with a public issue in Jan. ’95.to part finance its expansion project. The project was completed in Mar.’96.

 

UOL is the only company is northern India to receive Spice House Certificate form Spice Board (Government of India), for their processing facilities for spice oils and oleoresins.

 

In the year July 1999. all assets (entire undertaking) of the company has been taken over by RIICO limited ,Jaipur.

 

OPRATIONS :   

 

During the year, manufacturing of spice continued despite stiff competition in the international Market. Major sales were on account of exports. The working results would have been much better but the high currently fluctuation has affected it adversely. The company hops to achieve improved turnover and profitability by contacting large outlets within India foe the quality spices required for their consumers during the current year.

 

The  directors are glad to inform that company has been successful in obtaining registration for processing of organic spice from USFDA for export of organic spice ova near future. This would enable the company to achieve even better work in results in near future.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS :

 

The core business of the company is the manufacture and marketing of all types of spice and oleoresins. The management discussion and analysis is given as under :

 

Industry structure and development :

 

The spice and oleoresin industry continued to pass through a difficult phase during the year due to general economic slow down and unfavourable raw- material prices and high competition from the manufactures in the world, many spices and oleoresin units in the country closed It required some support / help form the Govt. if revival of this industry is to be resorted to.

 

Opportunity and threats :

 

The local raw-material available are either costly and of inferior quality as compared to the international standards. Therefore, the processed and manufactured spices and oleoresins become unremunereative and their  supplies are unviable.

 

Segment- wise performance :

 

The company has not Manufactured spice and oleoresins during the year, some domestic demand was met by procurement locally to avoid losses. Owing to abnormal cost of production, the oleoresins activity was entirely closed.

 

Outlook :

 

The directors are confident to make improvement in quality, price reduction to some extent, and exercise greater control over the administrative cost , provided international market appear to be somewhat favourable. Domestic market dose not seem to be attractive due to established brand image of various products as the company originally has not made any strategy for local sale.

 

Risk and Concerns :

 

Despite technological improvements needed to be made, the company has found a banker to get the needed funds in the form of working capital facilities to resume the manufacturing activity.
