All statements that address expectations or projections about the future, but not limited to the Company’s strategy for growth, product development, market position, expenditures and financial results, are forward – looking statements.

The demand for domestic spice is high – not only in India but also in countries such as the United, European Union, Arab Countries and South Asian Countries.

 

According to market experts, India is important centre for spices producing more than 2.7 million tonnes of spices out of which it exports about 8-10%.

 

As per the data released by the Spice Board at Kochi, the India’s spices export in rupee terms registered an increase of 41% in the financial year (April – Dec 2013).

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE & DEVELOPMENT

 

Changing economy and business conditions, evolving consumer preferences, rapid technological innovation and adoption and globalization are creating an increasingly competitive market environment that is driving corporations to transform the manner in which they operate. Companies in this environment are now focusing even more on their core business objectives, such as revenue growth, profitability and asset efficiency.

 

India’s food processing industry is one of the largest industries in the country – it is ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth. The Indian food industry is estimated to grow to US$ 200 billion and is expected to grow US$ 310 billion by 2015. India is one of the world’s major food producers but accounts for only 1.7 per cent of the world trade in this sector – this share is slated to increase to 3 per cent.

 

Food processing is a large sector that covers activities such as agriculture, horticulture, plantation, animal husbandry and fisheries. It also includes other industries that use agriculture inputs for manufacturing of edible products. While the industry is large in terms of size, it is still at a nascent stage in terms of development.
