USA Operations

 

Company has its wholly owned subsidiary based in New Jersey, Kohinoor Foods USA, Inc. that caters to the US and the Canada market. Through this subsidiary the Company has demonstrated its presence in both the Ethnic and the Mainstream segment of the business. Ethnic food in United States has traditionally meant Mexican and Chinese. The Indian foods and related food products are now being the hottest trend today. The modern day life and the rigors that tag along, leave most people with very little time for themselves. A need of healthy vegetarian food and growing awareness of the relationship between diet and health has driven consumer to look at food that has made the Indian convenience food most popular in USA markets. The trend has been steadily evolving over the past decade.

 

Kohinoor foods, added more members to the family keeping in mind the fast changing consumer trends of Gluten Free, 100% Vegetarian, Low sodium, Kosher and Halal Foods – from Ready to Eat Indian Curries- specially cooked in Olive Oil, the Cook-in Sauces, Cooking Paste to Spices, Seasoning and Frozen food. Today, the entire range of Kohinoor Foods depicts the authentic Indian taste, essence and aroma.

 

Another trend is towards the Frozen Foods which are strongly associated with perceptions of healthfulness, fresh foods and are in high demand. The ultimate combination of convenience and taste is what the Frozen Food range from Kohinoor Foods is all about.

 

Last year has shown a modest improvement of Kohinoor share in Rice markets, they are in a process of consolidating their current basic distribution structure, few- non productive warehouses are being closed down to achieve an overall profitability goals. The current branch structures will be replaced with a new set of distribution centres to offer Kohinoor range to the retailers.

 

The areas of new distribution planned in the next financial year are -Chicago, Minnesota, Detroit, Ohio, Colorado, Utah, Washington, Portland, Los Angles, San Diego, Florida, North and South California.

 

Another market opportunity lies in the Private label business in US market and they have started acquiring major retailers as clients such as Target, Trader Joes, Cost Plus, Kroger, Roland Rice and Himalayas Rice.

 

They cater to over 3,000 ethnic stores across the US markets besides Kohinoor brand is widely available in the main stream supermarkets as well. Their success can be measured by the fact they are available in coveted retail chains like Target, Kroger, Walmart, Wegmans, Big Lots and many more and also in Canadian supermarkets such as Metro, Loblaw's, Wal-mart in Canada. Kohinoor is now supplying specially designed Rice and Curry packs

from its India on platter vertical to Costco, one of the biggest Cash and Carry stores in US. Also in collaboration with Big Lots discount store- delivering an ambient range of specially designed 'India on Platter' products.

 

They have added a new range of lentils to the existing range in Kohinoor brand; the category will help then to improve Kohinoor brand presence, also they plans to add few more products range in the current line up next year.

Rich Rice Raisers Factory LLC (RRR) was established as a joint venture Company in the financial year 2001 in Dubai to augment its marketing strengths in the middle-east region. RRR has a small rice processing facility in Dubai besides a full-fledged marketing office. RRR presently supplies Kohinoor range of basmati rice and other food products in mainstream stores like Lulu, Geant, Hyper Panda, KM Trading, Al Maya and Choithram Supermarkets.
