PRESS RELEASE

 

Cargill’s edible oil portfolio expands with acquisition of Leonardo Olive Oil from Dalmias

 

Acquisition bolsters Cargill’s consumer brand portfolio and expands market reach in India

 

10th February, 2014

 

Gurgaon: Cargill today announced the signing of an agreement with Dalmia Continental Private Limited (DCPL) to acquire its Leonardo Olive Oil business. Leonardo, the leading brand in the olive oil segment, is a pioneer in establishing the popularity and use of olive oil in India. Cargill has a strong presence in the olive oil segment worldwide, and this acquisition will create a unique opportunity for Cargill to participate and create value of this nascent and high-growth category in India. This acquisition helps Cargill consolidate its position in the premium oils segment.

 

Commenting on the acquisition Mr. Siraj Chaudhry, Chairman, Cargill India, said “We have a history of acquiring brands with very high pedigrees.  Leonardo Olive Oil is an iconic and trusted name associated with purity, goodness and cooking healthy delicious food, since 2003. Olive oil is a rapidly growing segment gaining much popularity as a healthy cooking option. This acquisition represents a natural extension of Cargill Food’s India strategy in the premium consumer space by providing a diversified portfolio of products. We will build on its strong brand heritage, and consumers will benefit from Cargill's commitment to quality, food safety, innovation and value.”

 

Expressing his thoughts on the acquisition, Mr. VN Dalmia, Chairman, Dalmia Continental, said “Dalmia Continental drove the olive oil market in India to high rates of growth and made Leonardo the leading brand.  We were determined to let our baby go only to a new parent that we were certain would foster it with the same care and attention that we did.  There is an inflection point in the life of each product and Leonardo is at that point.  It is poised to take the next leap forward to retain its leadership status and Cargill is the best new parent to promote that effort.”

 

Cargill also announced that, post the acquisition, Mr. VN Dalmia has consented to be associated with Cargill as an advisor for the Leonardo Olive Oil business.

 

The olive oil market in India has grown rapidly in the last decade from 1,000 tonnes in 2003 to 12,000 tonnes in 2013, according to the Indian Olive Association.

 

"Acquiring Leonardo underscores Cargill's long-term commitment to growing our consumer food business in India. It is an excellent fit with our existing strong brand portfolio through which we serve a significant consumer base across the country. Leonardo’s acquisition will give us the relevant access and entry to a premium brand in edible oils which has the potential to be horizontally integrated across other premium and related food categories.” said Mr. Aseem Soni, Director – Consumer Sales, Cargill Foods India.

 

CARGILL’S GREENFIELD DAIRY FEED MILL BREAKS GROUND IN BATHINDA, PUNJAB

Commenting on the launch, Shri Sukhbir Singh Badal, Deputy Chief Minister, Punjab, said, “We are delighted at Cargill India’s latest investment with this environment friendly plant, which will put Punjab on a global map with other leading model dairy regions the world over. This initiative will equip local farmers with the knowhow and help in implementing a reliable supply chain for dairy processing. We wish this project great success.”

 

CARGILL INDIA'S SWATI SHUKLA: FIRST WOMAN SUGAR TRADER BELIEVES IN BEING PERSISTENT THAN GLAMOROUS

 

Lucknow-bred ?Swati Shukla looks at her career and business life from the time she joined Cargill India Pvt Ltd as a management trainee in 1994, began taking care of Cargill's Far East sugar business from Geneva in five years and then returned to India as a sugar trader.

 

Today she is on the board of Cargill India, and recognised as an authority in the world's biggest sugar consuming country. Shukla did her B. Tech in civil engineering from National Institute of Technology (NIT), Allahabad and followed it up by an MBA from Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT). But she explains her path to success saying it happened "by not being a guy in a man's world."

 

Persistence is what pays, not glamour, she says. "Fancy million-dollar deals over the phone happen only in the movies. To be a successful trader, you have to go out in the field, get your hands dirty, your basics right and respect each entity in the supply chain." She started in Cargill in the molasses export business in Tuticorin, Tamil Nadu and was the only woman in the team.

 

"Gender demarcation gets blurred when people realise that you are equally efficient. You just need to bring knowledge and sincerity to the table rather than try to be a man amongst men," said Shukla. But she did have her nervous moments. Cargill closed its molasses business in 1997.

 

"With the business shutting down, it was a matter of survival but the molasses team was absorbed in the sugar business. Working in molasses was a boon as it was away from the public glare. One quietly learnt the intricacies of the business, innovated and came up with great ideas to turn around a not so glamorous product," said Shukla.

 

EUREKA MOMENT

 

On invaluable lessons learnt, Shukla recalls when Cargill sent a group of trainees to its Tuticoren export junction. One day an amazing brain storming session was held to figure out how to get into exports without getting into the storage business. Back of their minds was the fact that port storage cannot be built overnight.

 

"So, we decided to have floating storage instead of fixed storage tanks. Cargill has huge bandwidth across the world so we got huge barges from our Singapore unit. Through a jetty, we filled the barges with molasses and then transferred it in the export vessel through a high-pressure pump. Hence, we had floating storage instead of a fixed storage and no competition with the storage and shipping companies at all," Shukla remembers.

 

Sugar was not a hot commodity as the market was lacklustre and there was no export. "With nothing much to do in the sugar business, I shifted to the financial arm of Cargill known as Trade and Structural Finance (TSF) for a year," she said.

 

Her talent was recognised and she was shifted to the headquarters in Geneva, where she spent two years, looking at sugar trading opportunities in Afghanistan, Bangladesh and the Middle East. The experience was transformational. "It was like a whole world of opportunities opened up. From something as micro as molasses to the whole Far East business at my disposal, growth was phenomenal."

 

RIGHT PLACE, RIGHT TIME

 

Shukla returned to India in 2001 when the country was just beginning to be a sugar trader's delight. In sugar season 1999-2000, India produced 182 lakh tonne of sugar and exported 0.66 lakh tonne.

 

CARGILL'S KARNATAKA PLANT TO START PRODUCTION BY JUNE 2015

 

Diversified group Cargill India will start operating its USD 100 million mill in Karnataka by June next year, processing about 800 tonnes of locally sourced corn per day, a top official of the company has said.

"We expect to start production from June next year. Construction of the mill started recently," the company's Chairman Siraj Chaudhry told PTI here today on the sidelines of a seminar at the Singapore Management University.

The mill is based in the heart of corn growing areas of Karnataka.

 

"Output from the mill will largely be for local market, with about 10-15 per cent exports to the Middle East and Africa," said Chaudhry.


The mill would supply starch-based products to India's growing pharma, food and confectionery industries, he said.

The mill is Cargill's single largest investment in India.


Chaudhry said Cargill has long history of serving the Indian market in various trades including edible oils and foods.

The seminar was organised by the University’s India Initiatives and Indian Institute of Foreign Trade Alumni Association, Singapore.
