These plants are ISO 9001 and HACCP certified and Meet International FDA statute requirements. The Company hitherto entered into the untapped area of large-scale commercial farming by implementing MIS in Corporate agriculture projects in the year 1994. During the same year 1994, JSIL had undertaken implementation of a 100% export oriented unit with separate factory at Bambhori for the manufacture of polytubes and mouled public components and signed a MOU with a South African Company for manufacture and marketing of their newly invented sprinklers. Jain Plastics and Chemicals Limited, Jain Kemira Fertilizers Limited and Jain Rahan Biotech Limited were amalgamated with the Company in the year 1996. The manufacturing facility of PVC Pipes was increased its capacity to over 35,600 MT's per annum in the year 1997, as a result, the company became as the largest single producer of PVC Pipes in the country and also in the identical year the company made a technical collaboration with RIS of Italy for drip irrigation systems and with Chapin Watermatios of US for multi-chambered drip irrigation. During 2002-03 the company was selected along with six vendors who has been awarded the Government of AP's APMI project. Rs.12000.000 Millions projects were to be implemented in 2 phases over a period of 2 years. Out of the seven vendors, JIS Limited allocated the highest area of 36000 hectares in the Phase I of 135000 hectares. JISL signed a MoU with State Bank of India (SBI) in the year 2004 for term loans to farmers for purchasing capital inputs from the company.

OPERATIONS: 

 

The net sales grew by 25% on yoy basis. The domestic sales grew at an impressive 30.8% to Rs. 21735.000 millions on the back drop of a robust demand in MIS/SIS, Fruit processing and PE/PVC piping segments. Exports grew 6.6% at Rs. 5209.000 millions despite a severe slowdown in the world economy and specially in western world post October 2008 financial crisis. The notional gain on account of foreign currency fluctuations at Rs. 711.070 millions (as against loss of Rs. 777.230 millions last year) does not impact the cash flows. Thus, the operating profit at Rs. 6647.000 millions improved by 67.4% reflecting the continual improvement in resource utilization and economies of scale. The profit for the year is higher than the earlier year by about 125.7% at Rs. 2712.000 millions. For the first time the company has reported free cash flows of Rs. 530.000 Millions.

 

Preferential Issue, ZCCB Conversion, ESOP allotment and use of the proceeds

On 09.04.2009, as per Shareholders authority in GM dated 26th March 2009 a total of 1,997,780 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each were issued to the International Finance Corporation, (IFC) as arm of world bank in Washington on a Preferential basis. The Allotment resulted in an increase of Rs. 19.980 millions in Share Capital and Rs. 700.020 millions in Share Premium reserves. Additionally, holders of 9,350 Bondholders of the Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds of $1,000 each who opted for the conversion in terms of the Offering Circular dated 24th March 2006 during the year were allotted 1,200,166 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each resulting in an increase of Rs. 12.000 millions in Share Capital and Rs. 402.760 millions in Share Premium reserves. During the year Associates holding employee stock options worth 456,790 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each opted to exercise their option and applied for 456,790 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each at a discounted (Original price Rs. 410.35 per shares) exercise price of Rs. 307.76 per share. This resulted in a share capital increase of Rs. 4.570 millions and accretion to securities premium account of Rs. 182.880 millions However, till date in Fy 2011, further 192,540 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each were issued to the holders of the 1,500 Zero Coupon Convertible Bonds of $1,000 each who opted for the conversion in terms of the Offering Circular dated 24th March 2006. Hence after Fy 2010, an amount of Rs. 1.930 millions has been added to the Share Capital of the Company while an amount of Rs. 64.610 millions has been added to the Securities premium account of the Company. Board is happy to report that all of the bondholders have opted for the conversion ofZCCB’s into Equity Shares. There was no impact of the  conversion of ZCCB’s on the cash flows of the Company during the year as money was raised in Fy 2006 and utilised in Fy 2007. The proceeds of allotment to IFC Washington and the ESOP allotment has augmented the long term resource base of the Company and have been used as per the objects of the issue.

 

As you may be aware, pursuant to approval of Shareholders on the 19.10.2007, the Company allotted 8.600 millions Equity Warrants to the Corporate Entities of the Promoters Group on Preferential basis under the applicable SEBI (DIP) Guidelines. The subscribers had paid an amount of 10% (Rs. 411.000 millions approx) at a price of Rs. 478.15 each. Out of the above, the subscribers of Equity Warrants had opted for conversion of 1,102,600 warrants and as a result 1,102,600 Equity Shares of Rs. 10 each were issued to the holders of the warrants in Fy 2009. However, 74,97,400 warrants lapsed as the holders thereof did not exercise the conversion rights. Hence, as per terms of the issue an amount of Rs. 358.490 millions was forfeited. The proceeds of forfeited warrant deposit appropriated on the conversion option not being exercised has augmented the long term resource base of the Company.

 

Resource mobilization and capacity expansion

During the year, the Company has raised from international financial markets / institutional lenders, further External Commercial Borrowings (ECB’s) / Foreign Currency Loans based on LIBOR linked rate at competitive pricing. Total amount sanctioned and disbursed is $30mn. The loan amounts are being used by the Company for the expansion and modernization activities. The Company has invested an amount of Rs. 1.6 bn to increase the capacity of the MIS/SIS division by 38,190 MTPA. An amount of Rs. 341.000 millions has been spent on capital expenditure for the piping segment adding in excess of over 20,925 MTPA in the segment.

An amount of Rs. 203.000 millions was spent towards strengthening the common corporate service infrastructure.

 

The operations of subsidiaries

The integration activities with investee companies have continued in earnest and there is a very positive effect on the product development activities of the Company as feedback from various geographic areas are now available for such activities. The availability of a wide spectrum of products in the irrigation segment is making it possible for the Company to serve customers in a complete manner which in the pre- acquisition time resulted in loss of business opportunities. The Mauritius based direct subsidiary of the Company has earned an income of $ 769,811 and made a net loss of $937,682. The loss being due to redemption premium ($1 mn approx.) on redeemable preference shares charged off in single year. Summarised Balance Sheet and the Income statement of the said subsidiary is available elsewhere in the Annual Report. The resources of the subsidiary have been further strengthened by infusion of $14.65 mn as Equity Capital during the year. Further, there was a redemption of Redeemable Preference Shares worth $ 16.84 mn from the said subsidiary to the Company.

The Netherlands based subsidiaries have invested monies for incorporation of a new step down subsidiary in Turkey. During the year the Company incorporated another subsidiary in the Netherlands in March 2010 and capitalised the same with Euro18,000. The said subsidiary has raised an amount of $35 mn (Euro 26 mn approx) . The amount has been remitted back to the holding Company to a large extent ($22mn) to reduce the investments of the holding Company. It has just started operations as an investment and trading entity and a Summarised Balance Sheet and the Income statement of the said subsidiary is available elsewhere in the Annual Report.

Competitive Strengths

The Company believes that the following are its principal competitive strengths to successfully execute the earlier

mentioned strategy.

 

a) Strong brand in India

Jain Irrigation is one of India’s leading manufacturers of Micro Irrigation Systems, Piping Systems, Plastic Sheets and Agro-Processed Products. Since the Company commenced operations in 1986, it has built an extensive distribution network throughout semi-urban and rural India, selling flagship brands such as Jain Pipe and Jain Drip, which are wellknown in the domestic markets. Company’s MIS products are customized to assist in meeting the special requirements of its domestic customers. Management believes that the Company’s strong brand, leading market position and understanding of the customers’ needs, makes it well-placed to capitalize on growth opportunities in the fast growing domestic markets for its products. Formation of Jain Irrigation was preceded with other group companies that dealt with agriculture since 1963. Thus, there is 47 years of a strong relationship and mutual warmth with the larger agricultural community.

 

b) Unparallel soft Infrastructure the Company has the splendid pool of 1121 agriculture professionals probably the largest employed by any private sector organization in the country. the Company has around 2200 dealers on pan India basis selling exclusively Jains irrigation  products. Most of these dealers come from farming background and are influential personality in their respective region. Unmatched knowledge pool sourced from the ongoing agriculture R and D activities coupled with vast farming experience has enabled the Company to built an unparallel strong soft infrastructure which is the helping the Company to continue its journey on the growth path especially in rural India.

 

(c) Flexible and Scalable Production Facilities

Management believes that the flexibility and scalability of the Company’s existing production facilities will help it meet increased demand for its products. The scalability of the Company’s existing facilities enables it to increase its production capacity through the installation of new equipment and production lines. For example, the Company can increase the capacity to produce our PVC/PE pipes and Plastic Sheets by upgrading critical equipment such as screws/barrels and gear boxes, or if greater capacity enhancement is required, by adding new extruders. The Company’s flexible manufacturing facilities enable it to produce a wide range of products with different specifications, such as PVC / PE pipes with different diameters and working pressure ranges and processed and dehydrated fruits and vegetables using different organic feedstock. This flexibility assists the Company in meeting the specific demands of its customers and reducing the impact of seasonal changes in production volumes for specific products such as the Agro-Processed Products and Piping Systems. The ability to expand production across product streams is demonstrated by the achievements in the past 5 years in which Company has increased its plastic piping systems capacity, 5.3 times to 2,36,345 tons as of 31.03.2010 from 44,276 tons as of 31.03.2003 and It increased the PVC sheet capacity by more than 4 ½ times to 36,300 tons as of 31.03.2010 from 7,735 tons as of 31.03.2003 the Company plans to continue this aggressive capacity build up in current and coming year so as to maintain substantial organic growth across most of the divisions.

 

d) Backward Technical Integration

In Fy 2009 the Company acquired THE Machines S.A., a Switzerland based manufacturer of Plastic Extrusion equipment. This Company has more than 15 years of expertise in developing and manufacturing of machineries with focus on automation and laser technology. With this, the Company’s has been now importing quality equipment in timely manner and also at competitive cost thru this backward technical integration. This will also ensure that supply of equipment and machineries would not be a barrier for the fastest growing business i.e. micro irrigation of the Company. They are continuously developing newer generation products.

 

e) Cost competitive high quality producer :

The Company’s modern, large-scale production facilities, the de-centralization of its plastics manufacturing facilities in Jalgaon, Hyderabad and Udumalpeth near Coimbatore in India, the increasing de-centralization of the food processing and dehydration facilities throughout India, closer to the growing regions for the raw material and efficient working capital management, make the Company a cost competitive manufacturer of various products. While the Company is committed to maintaining international quality standards for all its products, the success in meeting the quality requirements of the international customers is demonstrated by the Company’s increasing export sales. The overall export sales increased by 6.6% to Rs. 5209.000 millions in Fy 2010. The Company’s Food plant is certified of ISO 22000-2005 Food Safety Management systems accredited by ISA-Cert, The Netherland and Fruit Plant also certified for SGF, Germany. Onion dehydration Plant is certified for British Retail Consortium (BRC issue: 5) Global Standard For Food Safety, The Netherlands. Tissue Culture activities and solar division had achieved ISO 9001-1987 certification. The Company’s plastics processing was certified under ISO 14001-2004 Environment Management System and BS OHSAS 18001-2007 by TUV NORD Germany in 2005-06.

 

(f) JAIN GAP a quality certificate for Indian farmers

The Company has developed “JAIN GAP (Good Agricultural Practices)”. In Indian agriculture, involving high value and low volume products, which is done by small and marginal farmers it is not possible to go directly for GLOBAL GAP. In this programme, training will be provided to farmers under the aegis of the intermediate standard which is called “JAINGAP”. And the farmers will be audited and then they will be certified as “JAINGAP farmer”. The key aspects include maintaining the traceability, analysis of soil and water, overall environmental protections, worker’s health, hygiene and welfare. Here wildlife and biodiversity conservation is taken into consideration. And most important is productivity enhancement of the farmer’s field. All records will be kept and maintained by farmers. Thus it is a stepping stone towards GLOBAL GAP.

 

(g) Experienced Management and Sales Teams

With significant experience in the plastics manufacturing, fruit and vegetable dehydration and  or fruit processing industries, the Company’s senior management team has wealth of experience in the industries in which it operates. The Chairman, Mr. B. H. Jain is the Founder and is acknowledged as one of the pioneers of micro irrigation in India. He has received highest civilian award by Government of India for his contribution to science and technology. The experience of the Company’s management team in international markets will help it increase the penetration of strategically selected countries and expand the range of its product offerings in existing export markets. Company has  also acquired large and talented managerial pool through various acquisitions. The management team also has long-standing relationships with many of the major customers, distributors/dealers and suppliers. Further, the Company has a strong local sales force, which together with the management team gives the Company an excellent understanding of the needs of the domestic customers.

 

(h) Diverse Revenue Streams

Although the Company’s business and its prospects are significantly integrated with the Indian agricultural sector, the Company also derives a significant portion of its revenue from non-agricultural sources, such as from sales of piping systems to commercial, industrial and government customers, sale of fruit pulp and onion to large global food Companies and sales of PVC sheets to the home building construction industry. The revenues are further diversified across the wide range of products sold. This diversification can help insulate the overall sales and operations from adverse conditions affecting any one of the business segments or products.

 

(6) Overview of Segments

 

A) High-Tech Agri Input Products

The segment comprises of Micro and Sprinkler irrigation systems, PVC Pipes, biotech tissue culture and other agri inputs. The segment has grown at almost 36.2% over the previous year at Rs. 18042 million. The main growth engine was the MIS/SIS business at a robust 37% growth. PVC pipes also grew at significantly high growth rate of 32 %. The segment profit has grown by an impressive 37% over the earlier year’s level, while the capital employed grew at a little over 30% reflecting the creation of additional capacities during the year.

 

a) Micro and sprinkler irrigation

i) Industry

The industry is broadly divided into the organized and unorganized segments in the country. The Company is the largest player in the organized sector. In view of the involvement of a large number of components in a system, all of which are not available with a single manufacturer, it is difficult to hazard a guess about the exact size of the industry as most of the figures are derived on the basis of information available from different sources. While the Company controls 55% of the Micro Irrigation business in the country, it has a market share of 35% in the Sprinkler irrigation business in the country. The current estimate of industry size is Rs. 25 bn. and it is growing rapidly. Currently about 4 to 4.5 million Ha of the possible 50 to 70 million Ha area is covered under the micro and sprinkler irrigation in the country. However, as per Government task force 17million Ha ofland can be easily brought under micro irrigation coverage in the country in the near future, say in next 5 years or so. The world over the MIS/SIS industry is undergoing a consolidation phase with M and A activity at its highest in the last 30 years or so. The Company has secured a firm foothold in the mature North American market with two significant acquisitions and has gained double digit market share. The JV with Naandan Jain has given strategic access to markets the world over, especially in Europe, South America, Australia and parts of Africa.

 

ii) Performance

The business contributes a little over 47% of the Company’s turnover. The division has been growing at a CAGR of 61% in last five years on the back of projects in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and consistent growth in Maharashtra continues. The business added 38,190 MT of capacity during the year, while Fixed Assets addition was to the tune of Rs. 1602 million.

 

iii) Opportunity and Outlook

Almost 50% of the arable land in the country is still rain fed. The Government (Central and State) provide 50% capital subsidy for promoting the use of Micro Irrigation by farmers. While targeting an agriculture growth of 4% per annum the government had also placed higher targets for farm credit and agriculture investments at 2% plus of the GDP for the XI plan period. Very Recently in June 2010 the Cabinet Committee of Economic Affairs approved the “National Mission on Micro Irrigation” (NMMI) during the Eleventh Plan period. This again demonstrates the sustained focus of the government on pushing the micro-irrigation as a tool to conserve

the water and address the issue of food security. Earlier budgetary allocation for micro-irrigation subsidy was increased more than 100% y-o-y for Fy10-11. The Union Budget reflected an overall increase in thrust towards agriculture. the Company has inked a MoU with International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for collaborative research and adaptive field trials on paddy using  micro irrigation. IRRI is a nonprofit independent organization headquartered in Philippines that, through rice research aims to reduce poverty and hunger, improve the health of rice farmers and consumers, and ensure that rice production is environmentally sustainable. This is the first time IRRI is experimenting with drip irrigation for paddy cultivation. The initial trials are under way in India, Bangladesh and at IRRI headquarter in Philippines. The Company and IRRI hope that the project will lead to new ways to ensure water and  food security. State governments have also started work on new concept of 'On Demand Irrigation' which will help farmers to do more productive farming. The Company has started working on a Canal Command area programme with some state government. Under such programmes the government has made it almost compulsory for all farmers taking water from canals to opt for Drip Irrigation Systems installed on farms and distribution network of PE Pipes to carry the water from the canal to the nearest point of the farmer's field. This helps in promoting optimal use of water to increase area under irrigation, at the same time improving reliability in supply of water. This system also provide for equitable sharing of water such that even the last farmer gets his share of water. Another initiative called 'No Lift without Drip' will encourage wide spread use of Micro Irrigation Systems even in crops such as cereal and pulses. Adoption of Micro Irrigation System is becoming more prevalent even in crops such as Cotton, Chillies, Onions, Potatoes and other vegetable crops. States from Northern parts of India are picking up speed especially with Horticulture crops. All in all, outlook for this industry in very positive and opportunity is immense. the Company is making significant investment in production capacity and in network building so that it can maintain the growth momentum in this division going forward as well.

 

PVC Piping

i) Industry Indian Scenario

During the year 2009-10 the Indian industry used 1780 KT of PVC Resin, achieving a growth of 26% over previous year. Out of this about 72% i.e. 1200 KT was consumed for pipes and fittings. For the year 2010-11 Indian PVC industry in general looks forward to consume 8% more and looks forward to a CAGR of 10% up to the year 2012-13, matching the Global pace. Jain Irrigation, with a 15% share, is one of the three (3) major players in the organized market. Rest of the industry, being small and medium scale in nature, is unorganized, fragmented and scattered near the user belts in the country. Increased micro irrigation spends, higher allocation towards rural water infrastructure for potable water, push for urban infrastructure by government agencies and Command Area Development Programme will improve the demand situation for the industry.

 

ii) Performance

During the Fy 2010, this business contributed 18% revenue for the Company. The business has grown at a steady 32.7% in revenues over last year. The business added 17,205 MT of capacity during the year, while the Fixed Assets addition was to the tune of Rs. 233 million.

 

iii) Opportunity and Outlook

While the expansion of capacity undertaken last fiscal year is complete, in view of increased budgetary allocation from government, demand is expected to continue to increase. Hence the Company has again decided to enhance the capacity by 21,967 MT, the full effect of which will be observed in Fy 2012. While the government infrastructure spends are increasing all the time, the government programmes continued for safe drinking water, urban and rural sanitation, Rain-water harvesting and integrated watershed management programme etc. are expected to generate substantial demand for piping products in the coming years. The Company is considering establishing two more production centres in the north part of country in near future. A large part of the Urban Infrastructure projects in the current five year plan is towards irrigation, drinking water supply and sanitation.

 

Biotech Tissue Culture

i) Industry : The industry is broadly divided into two segments-

1) Fruits and vegetables and

2) Leafy Plants and flowering Ornamental Plants.

The industry is not organized although some big names did start forays in this industry in the mid 1990’s. Most of the players are engaged in tissue culture for cut flower exports, where the model of business is quite different. The Company started with banana as the main crop for tissue culture and the efforts have really paid off. The industry is still growing at an estimated 25% per annum.

 

ii) Performance

The sales in business crossed Rs. 224 million during the year, reflecting a 51.9% growth over the previous year. The quantity increased to 18.45 million plantlets Keeping quality of plants as the top priority Company had implemented four stage disease testing program. Unit has also undergone BCIL Certification, certification standard for commercial tissue culture laboratories by Department of Biotechnology, Govt. of India. The Unit has also received “Rajeev Gandhi National Quality Award, 2007” for efforts and commitment to quality in the field of Biotechnology industry.

 

iii) Opportunity and Outlook

The outlook continues to be excellent and demand shows improved off take in the coming season. Now, many State Governments are evincing keen interest in promoting tissue culture. The Company has opportunity to diversify the business and produce fruit and ornamental plants and other fruit plants. the Company has also started production of tissue cultured pomegranate plants. Research and development is on to create Citrus plants. There is also an export potential to other Asian countries which can be tapped.

 

Industrial Products

The segment business includes the varied business lines like PVC Sheets, Polycarbonate Sheets, PE pipes for industrial applications, Fruit processing, and onion and vegetable dehydration. Business in this segment has grown at 8% over the earlier year’s level at Rs. 9,325 million. The major growth came from Fruit Pulp business at 36% growth in revenue terms and 58% growth in volumes.

 

a) PE Piping

i) Industry

The applications of PE pipes are growing at a fast pace and yet new applications are being developed for the product. In applications like Sewage and Effluent disposal the tougher environmental laws and stricter application of the same by the Govt. departments, the replacement of cement/metal pipes by PE pipes is becoming very relevant. Such possibilities are huge; especially since the larger diameter PE pipes are now indigenously available within the country itself. The Company’s presence in gas and cable duct segments of the PE pipe business is commanding and hence the overall market share is in excess of 30%. The Company is operating in all segments of the industry like cable duct, sprinklers, gas distribution, water conveyance, house service connection, Sewage conveyance, Effluent disposal, sand stowing, dust suppression etc.

 

ii) Performance

This business has witnessed de-growth in Fy 2010. Revenue was down by 2.4% and volumes were down by 5% reflecting sluggish and subdued capital expenditure by the infrastructure sector in general and telecom sector in particular amid prevailing tight liquidity and poor sentiment during major period of Fy 2010. However, with all user industries like telecom, gas, water and sewerage having good plans for growth and capital expenditure, the future is very bright for this business.

 

iii) Opportunity and Outlook

The Company has successfully continued to get large supply contracts with multinational companies for supply all over the world as a preferred supplier with very encouraging revenues. The massive infrastructure projects undertaken under the Bharat Nirman yojana, increased investments by telecommunication industry and plans for piped gas in cities, continue to be the potential demand drivers for the industry. All the Gas Distribution companies are continuing their growth plans as newer cities are being added every year. The telecom sector in India is growing well, more so the recent allocations of licence for 3G applications augur well for the telecom sector. The demand for next 18 months is expected to be around 275,000 kms of duct pipes. In water transmission and distribution business there are around 200 firms registered with BIS, but the national players are only 3 and Jain Irrigation is the only player to manufacture pipes up to 1600 mm dia. With added strength like ability to manufacture very large PE pipes like 1600mm dia, Jain Irrigation now has developed the capability to provide a complete solution to Water Management, Waste-water Treatment and judicious use of treated water.

 

Onion and vegetable dehydration

i) Industry

Dehydrated Onion is the largest used general food ingredients. This industry is dominated by USA, followed by India and Egypt. Dehydrated Onion industry uses less than 2% of world’s total fresh onion production. The financial upheaval in US and Europe has taken a toll on the demand and supply situation of this important product

also. There has been some deceleration in the demand particularly in US, resulting in higher inventories and lower prices. Europe, which is the main market for Indian products in general and for the Company's products in particular, saw a steady demand for this product category. There are positive signs also from the US market and we hope the demand will stabilise in the next few months. The supply side situation was also very challenging with late crop resulting in lower quantity available for processing and higher prices due to shortage in the growing regions last year. Due to strong focus on quality the Company was able to not only maintain its leadership position amongst Indian Processors, but also retained its third position in the world order. Company has built lot of flexibility in its Indian plants to cater to ever changing requirements of the customer and now plans to add the same flexibility to its US operations also. Post this change Cascade will also be able to produce larger fractions like flakes, apart from low micro powder, which has been its speciality for many years. Markets in the Asia regions have also matured and with changing food habits, it is expected that in the next few years demand for onion products is likely to grow and Company is planning to strengthen its presence in these markets also. With production capabilities in the two most important regions and a strong marketing network covering the entire world the Company expects to grow this business significantly in the, next few years.

 

ii) Performance

During the year, Company’s sale grew by approximately 11% in terms of value and approximately 11% in terms of volume. The Company achieved this sales growth under the adverse scenario of bad onion crop, increased raw material cost, volatile rupee, etc. Despite the slowdown in the US markets, Company’s US operation showed steady performance. In order to maintain its leadership position the Company has upgraded and maintained its quality management system to ISO 22000 apart from other certifications like BRC, GMA SAFE, Kosher, Halal etc. Company's Indian operations have also been certified under ISO 14001 and OSHAS 18001 for Environment and Occupational Health and Safety.

 

iii) Opportunity and Outlook

Outlook for vegetable dehydration industry in general and dehydrated onion industry in particular looks very good. Large multinational companies with very popular household brands are looking towards consolidating the number of suppliers and trying to align with select few suppliers who can provide better traceability and sustainability. This puts the Company in a very good position due to its backward linkages, relationship with farmers, contract farming programs, ability to supply from two different origins with different seasons and product quality attributes and Company’s sustainability in general. Worldwide Onion dehydration industry is estimated to be around 180,000MTPA. The industry is growing globally at 3-5% per annum. The Company now has capacity to produce approximately 26,000 MT per annum of finished products between its three plants in two countries. This makes the Company the third largest dehydrated onion producer in the world. The acquisition of controlling stake in Cascade Specialities Inc, USA has further opened up the global customer base for the Company’s products. The Company has also made improvements in its plant in the USA by capacity expansion, addition of cold storages for fresh onion storages to increase the season of production and other necessary operational improvements. Demand for naturally produced low micro products and organic dehydrated vegetables continues to grow. The Company estimates that with growing demand of its finished products and general upward movement of food prices globally, the Company will be able to achieve further growth in sale and better realization in the coming year. The Company is also looking at increasing production of value added products like fried onion, frozen onion and other vegetables in the coming years.

 

Fruit processing

i) Industry

The fruit and vegetable processing industry has a huge potential in India, with India ranking 2nd in the world in  roduction of fruits and vegetables but is at the lower rung of the value chain in terms of processing. The availability of fruits and vegetables is varied due to diverse agro climatic conditions. Despite the large production of fruits and vegetables, it is estimated that only up to 6 per cent of total agro output of India is currently processed as against up to 60-80 per cent in some developed countries. India's share in the global food trade is only 1.5%. All of this implies that there is a great potential to grow this industry. An increase from 6% to 20% in terms of processing, increase in value addition from 20% to 30% translates in to quantum jump in the size of the processed fruit and vegetable industry. This sector has been accorded a very high priority by the Government of India and fruit and vegetable processing industry has been encouraged. Further, with the economic developments taking place in India, increasing health consciousness and with the coming of organized retail trade, the food industry is poised to grow rapidly. The Indian fruit processing industry is growing currently at the rate of 14% p.a. The Indian market for noncarbonated beverages is estimated at Rs. 6400 crores, out of which fruit drinks, juices and juice based beverages account for about 30%. The demand for fruit juices and fruit drinks and other processed fruit products is growing at 30% in India, but still accounts for only 5 litres per capita, vis a vis regional average of 27 litres per capita and world average of 84 litres per capita. This indicates that the double digit growth rate in the fruit beverage category is here to stay for at least a decade. The fruit beverage category in India is dominated by Mango further, mango as a flavour is getting popular in developed markets overseas. India is the world's largest producer of Mango with about 50% of the world's production in India. There are 4,000 fruit processing units in the country with an aggregate capacity of 1.2 million tonnes per annum. It is estimated that 20% of the output is exported and the rest caters to domestic consumption. On global basis, demand for fruit juices, nectars, juice drinks, fruit flavoured drinks, new applications of fruit juices and fruit based products continues to grow. Realizing the opportunity and potential of fruit and vegetable processing, the Company established modern plants a decade ago for processing fruits and vegetables. The Company has also added new capacities, acquired a number of plants and also increased the product portfolio. Jain Irrigation is now the largest processor of fruits and vegetables from India and the largest processor of Mangoes in the world. Apart from growth in mango pulp and the concentrate business, the Company processes other fruits such as Pomegranate, Banana, Guava etc and has increased its Tomato processing capacity recently to cater to the growing demand for Tomato products in India. The Company has the unique advantage of being present at two prime fruit growing locations and with large capacities at both the locations is in a enviable position to garner large quantities of raw material during the season for processing. The Company also has the distinction of employing all the modern processing/preserving technologies such as canning, aseptic, frozen and IQF, which enables the Company to value add in all forms and cater to a wide market.

 

ii) Performance

This division forms an important part of the Company’s approach to integrated farming model, wherein the Company supplies the farmer with high-tech agri inputs, and is ready to buy back the surplus output to add value and offer the same locally and in International markets, thereby completing the agri value chain. The division clocked yearly revenues of Rs. 4028.000 Millions. during the year. The business grew at 33.5% in value terms. The division processed 133214 MT of fruits during the year. The division added new capacities in Aseptic, Frozen and IQF part of the business. Company processed various different fruits like Mango, Pomegranate,  mla, Guava, Banana, Papaya, Tomato, etc in the year. The division continues to retain its accreditation under various quality standards such as ISO 22000, SGF, Kosher etc. The business unit has also achieved accreditation under ISO 14000 and OSHAS 18000 standards. With the increased capacity, improved plant utilization and reduction in raw material transport cost; this division has become cost efficient and a high quality producer of fruit purees and concentrates. the Company is a strategic supplier to Coca Cola system worldwide for supplying Mango Pulp/Puree and concentrates. The Maaza brand of Coca Cola Company is a brand leader in

the fruit beverages category and continues to clock compounded annual growth rate of more than 30%. Recently the Company had bagged large orders worth Rs. 2430.000 millions from various Coca Cola bottlers in India and Overseas for supply of mangoes for the 2010-11 season. This is increase of more than 54% compared to last season mostly driven by higher prices of raw material.

 

iii) Opportunity and Outlook

India’s Economic development has registered a growth rate of 8% for the last three consecutive years. Contributing to this flourishing economy is the agriculture sector, where productivity is showing an increasing trend. Keeping pace with the world production of Fruits and Vegetables the production in India has also grown and now accounts for 15% of world’s vegetable production and 8% of world’s fruit production. The focus has now changed from grains and cereals to fruit and vegetables owing to change in consumption pattern resulting in increase in demand for fruits and vegetables. The fruit and vegetable processing industry is critical to fruit and vegetable sector. Although the horticulture sector has grown by 10%, only 2% of the produce is processed, resulting in huge post harvest losses. Fruit and vegetable processing establishes the vital linkage between agriculture and industry. In order to sustain the growth in the economy, Govt. has realized the need to support this vital link and has been providing support to accelerate growth in the sector. The sector has seen exponential growth with demand for fruit juices, beverages, convenience foods growing by around 30% yoy. The demographic profile of the consumers has been changing. With increase in disposable incomes and standard of living, the consumption pattern is shifting from basic foods to more healthy, convenience foods resulting in growing demand for processed food in general and processed fruits and vegetables in particular. There is a marked shift in the International markets with emphasis being laid on wellness products and products having nutritive/therapeutic properties. There is also a shift from the usual products such as Citrus and Apple to more exotic products like Mango, Guava, and Pomegranate etc. which are being increasingly being researched for their wellness aspects. New markets such as China, Russia and Africa are opening up and the existing markets such as Middle East are moving up the value and quality chain. With opening up of US and Japanese markets for fresh Mango, the taste profile is witnessing a change, resulting in opening up of these markets for processed products also. The demand for tropical fruit purees and concentrates and processed vegetables is growing rapidly within India as well as in International markets. The new format stores have added a different dimension to the distribution and sale of products, opening up opportunities, hitherto nonexistent. The packaged juices have seen a growth of more than 30% yoy and the consumption of fruits and vegetables as whole has shown an increase of 2.3% CAGR whereas that of cereals has decreased. With a view to offer products with therapeutic values, the Company is working on offering products from Amla and Mangosteen in the International markets. Company is also working on setting up a processing line for processing Mosambi, the most widely consumed juice in India and also other citrus varieties. The Company was successful in standardizing process and technology for these products, hitherto not processed in India. Orange being the largest processed and consumed juice in the world and to be able to meet the growing demand for this juice within the country, the Company has drawn up plans to cultivate the processing variety of Oranges in India.

 

PVC Sheets

i) Industry

Major markets for Company’s products are Europe and United States of America. The market is divided into two segment; Sign and Graphics (S and G) and Building Materials Market (BMI) In the BMI segment, Lumber the traditional building material was being replaced by PVC. The basic uses of PVC in BMI was in Trim, used as surrounds for windows and garage doors, Corner Boards, Soffits and interior applications such as Wainscoat and Beadboards. The inherent qualities of PVC such as impervious to water absorbtion; protected against insect attacks and a life term warranty promulgated the product over traditional Lumber. Further, availability of good quality wood was a problem as resources were drying up and cost of processing was escalating. The market is serviced by 7 manufacturers and some Chinese imports. The S and G market has been using PVC sheets in manufacturing Sign and Graphic boards, Point of Purchase displays and large print mediums. This industry has stayed with PVC for over 3 decades. This segment is serviced by 5 manufacturers. Some China products have attempted to penetrate the market.

 

ii) Performance

This business has seen some de-growth in last few years due to global slowdown. Revenue mix of this business has come down substantially. In Fy 2010 it accounted for around 5% of the revenue. Improved 2nd half helped achieving the same level of revenue at Rs. 1143 Millons compared to Rs. 1142 Millions in the previous year.

 

iii) Opportunity and Outlook

The economic downturn has resulted into some players exiting the market and others redefining their basket of offerings. This consolidation in the industry will benefit both the manufacturer and the end user. US housing market has started showing sign of recovery and is expected to come back on growth track, while signs are positive, nothing can be certain. We have introduced several new products to the market place: A Digital print sheet for optimum print quality, Sheet for the environmentally (EFS) conscientious market place which has been received well. The JAIN name has been fore front in publications in Plastics and Irrigation industry magazines due to the recent acquisitions. This gives the Company a greater exposure for growth.

AS PER WEBSITE

 

History:

 

The Beginning of the Road to Success

 

The Roots

 

The journey began in 1887 when the forefathers left the deserts of Rajasthan, their home state, in search of water and food and reached Wakod, at the foothills of the famous Ajanta Caves. They started farming as a means of livelihood.

 

In 1963 selling kerosene in pushcart, the young law graduate, Bhavarlal Jain, founded the family business in trading. The family partnership with a meager Rs. 7,000, accumulated savings of three generations, as capital. Soon, agencies for two wheelers, auto vehicles and automobile accessories were established in quick succession.

 

Story of Success

 

Trading : Inspired by a quote, "Agriculture : a profession with future" young Jain added dealership of tractors, sprinkler systems, PVC pipes and other farm equipment. In order to broad base the agri-business, agencies for farm inputs such as Fertilizers, Seeds, Pesticides were also added. Sales grew from Rs. 1 million in 1963 to Rs. 110 millions in 1978, a phenomenal increase of 110 times. These formative years helped them build a unique and lasting enterprise. This was achieved through consistent high standards of performance and personal behavior on the one hand and a strong sense of commitment for meeting targeted volumes and for payment of debts in time, on the other. Dealings with national and international principals was a contributing factor towards building these attitudes. In time, they came to be recognized as a reputable, trustworthy and prestigious house. This background augured well for an entry into industrial ventures.

 

Refined Papain : They took over a 14 year-old sick Banana Powder Plant in April 1978 at a high auction price of Rs. 3 million while they only had Rs. 0.200 million as inevitable surplus. The plant was quickly modified for the production of Papain from Papaya latex. In December 1978, the founder traveled to New York in search of customers for Jain Papain. The competition for purchase of raw materials at home and for sale of Papain abroad was stiff and stifling. However, they developed purified Papain through ceaseless in-house RandD and emerged as the `Number One’ supplier of the highest purity refined Papain. Thus Papain put them on the international map.

 

PVC Pipes : In 1980, manufacturing of PVC Pipes commenced with a small annual capacity of 300 MT's which was increased to over 35,600 MT's per annum by 1997, making them the largest single producer of PVC Pipes in the country. A close-knit dealer distribution network in the rural areas coupled with continuous automation and up gradation of product facilities and in-house RandD for maximum capacity utilization has kept them at the forefront. This further helped them to expand the range to Casing and Screen Piping Systems thereby continuing to contribute to the growing export volumes.

 

Micro - Irrigation Systems : Beginning in 1989, they toiled and struggled to pioneer Water-management through Micro Irrigation in India. They have successfully introduced some hi-tech. concepts to Indian agriculture such as `Integrated System Approach’, One-Stop-Shop for Farmer, `Infrastructure Status to Micro Irrigation and Farm as Industry.’ They have come a long way.

 

Food Processing : In 1994 they set-up world class food processing facilities for dehydration of onion, vegetable and production of fruit purees, concentrates and pulp. These plants are ISO 9001 and HACCP certified and Meet International FDA statute requirements. Combining the modern technologies of the west with the vast, mostly untapped agriculture resources of India, using the local human resources and inculcating the culture of excellence in quality and total customer service. They have set themselves a goal 'to become a major and reliable global supplier of food ingredients of finest quality.'

 

Today with over 3000 committed employees strength worldwide, they have established the Leadership in diverse products like Micro and Sprinkler Irrigation, Agricultural Inputs, Agro-Processed Products, Plastic Pipes and Sheets.

 

Profile:

 

Each of the products is an outcome of an effort to conserve nature's precious resources through substitution or value addition. This is the legacy of a deliberate and conscious endeavor that stems from a deep-rooted concern for nature.

 

There is more to Jain Irrigation than irrigation. The Corporation has multi product industrial profile and manufacturers of Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation Systems and Components; PVC, Polyethylene (HDPE, MDPE) and Polypropylene Piping Systems; Plastic Sheets (PVC and PC sheets); Dehydrated Onions and Vegetables; Processed Fruits; Tissue Culture, Hybrid and Grafted Plants; Greenhouses, Poly and Shade Houses; Bio-fertilizers; Solar Water Heating Systems and Solar Photovoltaic Appliances (Solar lighting systems) and Bio-Energy sources.

News @ Jains - Jain Irrigation inks MoU with International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) for collaborative research and adaptive field trials on paddy using micro irrigation

 

 

New Delhi, Feb 18, 2010 : Jain Irrigation Systems Limited (JISL), one of the world’s largest Micro-Irrigation manufacturers, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). Jain Irrigation will closely work with IRRI’s scientists to determine optimal irrigation and fertigation systems for irrigated rice and wheat.

 

Under this MoU, JISL and IRRI will study the relevance of different irrigation and fertilizer delivery systems for paddy cultivation in India and other south Asian countries wherever IRRI is planning research or adaptive trials. The aim is to find ways to reduce water consumption in rice cultivation while increasing crop productivity. Jain Irrigation will provide sprinkler and drip systems to experimental plots either acquired by IRRI or to participating farmers’ fields selected by IRRI.

 

The signing ceremony took place in the presence of Dr. Robert Zeigler, Director General, IRRI , Dr. J.K. Ladha, Principal Scientist and IRRI Representative for India and Mr. M. Srinivas Rao, CEO, CSISA. The MoU was signed by Mr. Atul Jain, Director Marketing, Jain Irrigation Systems Limited in New Delhi.

 

The MoU will also ensure IRRI, a non-profit organization, can continue to widely deliver its research, including news ways to improve water-use efficiency, to its partners. The MoU will not include any agreements on exclusive access to IRRI’s research or research outcomes.

 

Atul Jain, Director Marketing, Jain Irrigation Systems Limited said, "It brings great honour to them to work with IRRI for providing drip irrigation to enhance the cultivation of rice, our staple food. We have consistently developed micro irrigation systems for multiple crops and have been successful in providing customized drip irrigation solutions across India and abroad. Jain Irrigation is a pioneer in introducing the concept of "small ideas, big revolution" in various fields of entrepreneurship. We believe our efforts in paddy cultivation would be a great success like we succeeded in banana, onion and host of other crops. With IRRI, we strive to bring a transformation in the way rice is being cultivated now. I thank IRRI for their support in conducting research with our dedicated team consisting of the largest pool of talented agricultural scientists, engineers and technicians in the private sector". Our collective efforts in paddy to produce "more crop per drop" will create a great revolution in Agricultutre in India and South Asia.

 

Dr. Robert Ziegler, Director General, IRRI, said at the occasion, “IRRI has always strived to reduce poverty and hunger, improve the health of rice farmers and consumers, and ensure that rice production is environmentally sustainable. Our extensive partnerships with the national agricultural research and extension systems (NARES) of the rice producing developing countries, advanced research institutions, governments, the farming communities etc has enabled them to achieve our mission. 70% of the world’s poverty stricken people live in Asia and depend on rice as their staple food, this being the driving force for our research. In 50 years, IRRI’s high-yielding rice varieties and other technologies, plus extensive training, have contributed to the doubling of average world rice yields. JISL came forward to them with the idea of Drip technology for paddy cultivation. First I should commend JISL for coming up with the idea and IRRI is glad to associate with JISL and also acknowledges JISL’s interest in fundamental research. IRRI also identified a partner for reasearch in the specific area of water management and irrigation optimization in rice cultivation".

 

Dr J.K. Ladha said that, "Rice requires a large amount of water and any technology that reduces water application will be very attractive for farmers. Drip irrigation is one promising technology and, together with Jain Irrigation, we will evaluate the potential of it and other promising technologies, including IRRI’s alternate wetting and drying technique. IRRI will collect all the crop and input-use data to compare efficiencies of various technologies including current farmer practice".

 

Mr. M Srinivas Rao, CEO, Cereal Systems Initiative for South Asia (CSISA), said, "Rice cultivation requires large quantity of water and for producing one kg rice, about 3000 - 5000 litres of water is consumed depending on the different rice cultivation methods. Given the persistence of massive poverty in South Asia and an acute shortage of water, it’s imperative to reduce the water consumption in cultivating rice as also to increase its productivity. We believe that drip irrigation as a scientific technology will bring a threefold transformation in cultivating rice in India. We hope that JISL and IRRI together will contribute immensely towards curbing food crisis in India".
