PERFORMANCE OF THE COMPANY

 

OPERATING RESULTS

 

During the year, the Company registered a turnover (Net Sales) of Rs.11406.031 Millions representing an increase of 12.59% over that of the previous year. The Company registered a gross profit of Rs.115.356 Millions, as compared to previous year profit of Rs.199.219 Millions.

 

The revenue in "Milk and milk products" amounts to Rs.10305.332 Millions representing an increase of 9.06% over that of the previous year. The revenue in "Ice Cream products" amounts to Rs.751.729 Millions representing an increase of 35.23% over that of the previous year.

 

The decrease in the profitability is due to bad monsoon, non-availability of milk, increase in milk procurement price, increase in Depreciation and Interest due to commissioning of new plant at Palacode and the impact of Deferred Tax Liability.

 

There was a fire accident at the Kanchipuram Plant at around 10 P.M. on 30.04.2010. However, there is no loss of life or human injury as a result of the fire accident. The total estimated loss/damage is around Rs.25.000 Millions for which there is adequate insurance cover and that there is no loss in revenue or production arising therefrom.

 

EXPORTS

 

The value of exports during the year was Rs.465.140 Millions representing 4.08% of Net Sales. The Company is a Net Foreign Exchange Earner.

 

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

 

The Company has closed the operations in its 100% Wholly-owned Subsidiary Company namely, M/s. Hatsun Ingredients FZE in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE with effect from 13th November, 2009.

 

FUTURE PLAN

 

The major thrust areas in the current financial year would be in the domestic Dairy Ingredients, variety of milk products like curd, cream, butter, ghee, milk powders, panneer etc. and Ice Cream apart from Milk. This will help the Company to diversify its product profile and enable it to maintain its leadership position.

 

 

FINANCE

 

During the year the Company had to maintain its borrowings to run the operations. However, the Company has taken care to ensure that such of the Company borrowings are obtained at very competitive rates.

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS REPORT

 

The fiscal year 2009-10 began on a difficult note. A major concern during the year 2009-10, especially in the second half, was the emergence of high double-digit food inflation. A delayed and severely subnormal monsoon added to the overall uncertainty. The continued recession in the developed world, for the better part of 2009-10, meant a sluggish export recovery and a slowdown in financial flows into the economy.

 

It was also a year of reckoning for the policymakers, who had taken a calculated risk in providing substantial fiscal expansion to counter the negative fallout of the global slowdown. The Indian Economy recorded a growth of 7.4% for 2009-10 despite the financial crisis faced by the world economy.

 

Agriculture is the mainstay of the Indian economy. Agriculture provides the principal means of livelihood for over 58.4% of India's population. It contributes approximately one-fifth of total gross domestic product (GDP). Agriculture accounts for about 10% of the total export earnings and provides raw material to a large number of industries. The agricultural output, however, depends on monsoon as nearly 55.7% of area sown is dependent on rainfall.

 

The Agriculture sector recorded a growth of 0.2% of GDP in spite of worst ever monsoon since 1972. However, last year's drought impacted agricultural production, but not farm incomes. The loss (or near-zero growth) of output was more than offset by higher prices, as captured by the large gap between the 'nominal' (11.8%) and 'real' (0.2%) increase in agricultural GDP. While food inflation definitely hurt India, it may have been a blessing in disguise.

 

The Dairy Industry plays a vital role in the development of Agriculture Sector. India continues to be the No.1 milk

producing country in the world, producing over 100 million tons of milk over the past two consecutive years. Milk is the only agro based commodity that offers immediate marketability, more stable prices and consistent revenue to the farmers. Considering the demand for milk and milk products, there is still a lot of scope for increasing the milk production in India by adopting scientific methods of breeding, nutrition and calving. In India, milk farming is still regarded as a subsidiary and collateral activity to agriculture. This trend has to change since milk farming offers a steady and constant source of income to the farmers.

 

The recent withdrawal of export incentives (Vishesh Krishi Gram Udyog Yojana) on export of milk powders has adversely affected this growth causing opportunity loss to the farmers. In today's competitive scenario, the Government should take necessary steps to ensure that Indian milk producers get a fair chance to sell their produce in the global market making use of India's competitive strengths in the dairy sector.

 

The Company is well aware of the industrial scenario and being alert, focuses mainly on long term goals, steady and profitable development. Its strong brand coupled with the varied product portfolio enables it to meet adverse conditions confidently and overcome it. The Company therefore remains confident of its long term business prospects and its ability to sustain a fair return to the shareholders.

 

OPPORTUNITIES

 

In spite of the current downturn in overall economic growth and inflationary conditions, the Indian economy continues to remain intact. With the changes taking place in the life styles of the people coupled with the growing per capita income, customers are focusing on quality products and demanding value for money offering tremendous opportunity for the Company.

 

The Company is committed to stringent quality assurance practices at all its factories and units meeting ISO and

safety standards. The company offers a diversified product portfolio with well differentiated brands which have become very popular with the consumer since they offer value at affordable prices. More importantly, the company is not content to rest on its laurels and is constantly striving to add more value to the product it offers to the consumers.

 

Milk, apart from being consumed as such offers the opportunity to produce a large variety of products like curd, cream, butter, ghee, milk powders, panneer etc. The production infrastructure of the Company is constantly being upgraded to take advantage of this opportunity.

 

The main advantage of the Company's strength lies in its efficient and effective supply and cold chain management, which small players are lacking. This allows it wide reach and targeted coverage in its markets. The Company also has talented and committed human resources who work as a team to the attainment of organisational objectives.

 

The milk products market offers great prospects for the Company. There is an increasing demand for quality milk

products domestically apart from the traditional export market of South East, West Asia and Africa. There is a very large domestic market for value added milk products in the retail sector and the company is gradually making profitable inroads into this vast market.

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

 

The Company is using the ERP package of Oracle Applications. This facilitates an effective online MIS system, which helps in centralised control of operations at all the units of the Company. The Company has upgraded and reconfigured this application to effectively monitor the increasing scale of operations of the Company. The hardware and network infrastructure is being constantly reviewed to increase the bandwidth and reduce operational cost. This is an ongoing process and the Company is committed to leverage the benefits of IT to enhance and optimise benefits to itself and its customers.

 

During the year, the Company decided to replace the Oracle ERP application with SAP. Constant training and guidance has been provided to all the end users. The Company proposes to implement SAP during the financial year 2010-11.

INDIA ASKS SMP MAKERS TO SUPPLY MILK POWDER TO MOTHER DAIRY

 

Asia Pulse Businesswire

26 January 2011

 

NEW DELHI, Jan 26Asia Pulse - India's Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar on Tuesday reviewed the milk situation in the country and asked the private companies to supply skimmed milk powder (SMP) to Mother Dairy for improving the domestic availability during the summer season.

 

"They (SMP makers) are ready to give milk powder to Mother Dairy to enhance the milk supply," Pawar said after meeting with skimmed milk powder manufacturers like Hatsun Agro Products (BSE:531531), VRS Food, Bholebaba and Modern Dairies Limited  (BSE:519287).

 

The meeting was convened in the backdrop of high food inflation of over 15 per cent, led by high prices of vegetables, milk, meat, fish and poultry products. Milk prices have gone up by about 20 per cent in last one year.

 

Skimmed milk powder is stored now for use in summer season, when demand normally shoots up.

 

The minister said that the dairy industry said that there is no shortage of milk in the country as farmers are getting better price this year.

 

"We just assessed the situation of milk. They (milk producers) said they are paying better price and if they continue to pay better price, there will not be any shortage," Pawar said.

 

According to sources, the price and quantity of milk powder that SMP makers would supply to Mother Dairy will be decided in the next meeting.

 

Mother Dairy, a wholly owned company of the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), markets more then 2.2 million litres of milk daily in Delhi and surrounding areas of Western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana, Mumbai and Hyderabad.

 

Mother Dairy Milk has a market share of 66 per cent in the branded sector in Delhi where it sells 2 million litres of milk daily through 10,000 retail outlets.

 

Meanwhile, the government has withdrawn duty benefits for milk products like SMP and casein with immediate effect, to augment domestic availability and curb prices.

 

Private companies are also in talks with New Zealand companies for import of SMP, according to sources.

 

The country's milk production stood at 112 million tonnes in 2009-10 fiscal year, according to the government data.
