MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS:

 

Opportunities:

 

Growth  in  manufacture of food products, cattle and poultry feed  and  oil refining and increase in incidence of diabetics, are expected to result  in significant growth in demand for its products. With strong R and D efforts, the Company is poised to meet the challenges of competitive prices and  falling margins  and is geared to take the advantage of growth in demand.  Further, as  strategy  for  FY  2010-11,  the Company  has  emphasised  on  the  new opportunities  in  the business segments such as  Industrial  Antioxidants, Biodiesel Additives, Natural Shelf life Enhancers and Nutraceuticals.

 

Demand among end users:

 

With increasing literacy in society people are tending towards packaged and preserved food and also with the increase in the working population, demand for packaged food has increased which subsequently increases the demand for the Company's products. Moreover, the Company is focussed in continuous R and D in this segment. So, the Company is exploring further opportunities in this area which will be in the interest of the Company.

 

BUSINESS STRATEGY:

 

Company  has two major business divisions namely Food Ingredients  Division and  Industrial products Division. These business divisions are created  to bring in a sharper focus on the growing sections of fine chemicals market.

 

(A) FOOD INGREDIENTS DIVISION:

 

The  focus  of  food  ingredient division is in  the  area  of  shelf  life enhancement  of  food  products  which contain  fats  and  oils,  synthetic antioxidants  and another segment which would be added in preservation  and shelf life enhancement of farm produce, fruits and vegetables.

 

(a) Food antioxidants:

 

The  global market for synthetic food antioxidants is about 10,000  MT  and valued  at approximately $ 110 million and growing globally at the rate  of 3%  p.a.  The applications of the synthetic antioxidants is mainly  in  the prevention  of  rancidity  of the edible fats and oils, hence  it  is  used widely  in  packaged  oils, like palm oil, sunflower oil,  rice  bran  oil, soyabean  oil  etc.  and  also  in oils and  fats  used  in  fried  snacks, confectionary, bakery, extruded snack foods, etc. to enhance shelf life.

 

Company's  current  manufacturing  capacity  is 3500MT  for  2  major  food antioxidants, TBHQ (Tertiary Butyl Hydroquinone) and BHA (Butylated Hydroxy Anisole).  Company's current global market share is about 30% in  the  food segment.
