Industry Structure, Development, Opportunities and OutlookA. Government Initiatives:

The Governments both Central and State are focusing on development of preservation of Agro Products and the main thrust is for processing of more and more agro cultivation. The Indian Government supported the private sector investment in agricultural and allied sectors to enhance value addition.

B. Company Overview:

During the year under review, after the Scheme became effective the Company started to carry forward the business of the Food Division independently. The Company is mainly engaged in the food processing Industry which is showing remarkable growth. The main revenue of the Company is from products like Pickles, Ketchups, Sauces, Chutneys and handmade & machine made Papad.

We are pleased to present the overall function-wise evaluation of the performance of the Company as follows:

Sales & Marketing:

> The Company has maintained its preferred position in the pickle product category. In the other important product categories of Thecha and Papad, the Company has registered healthy volume growths in FY 2022-2023.

> The Company enjoys a strong distribution footprint and its products are now present in 60% of the outlets in Maharashtra. The Company continues to stay focused on the twin objectives of growing its distribution footprint and also continually expanding its product offerings.

> The strong growth in Papad category was achieved by increasing the distribution footprint from 18% to 40%.

Product Development:

After receiving an overwhelming response to “Thecha” the Company introduced “Schezwan chutney” a universally appealing product which is not only preferred by the young generation but by all age groups.

Information Technology:

The Company has implemented SAP and other applications such as SFA (Sales Force Automation) and DMS (Distributor Management Service) and continues to leverage its core strengths in multiple functions to embark on sustainable high-growth performance.

Human Resources:

Human capital is being enhanced at the middle management and junior levels in key functions so as to cope up the future growth journey.

Internal Control & Finance:

The Company has improved decision-making on the basis of Finance functional support and MIS resulting in improved performance. The Company has a secured system of internal controls which works together with internal financial controls that are repeatedly administered by the management. The internal control system shows proficiency in operations, make the best use of resources and adhere with all applicable laws and regulations. Key controls are examined during the year and restorative and precautionary actions are taken for any fault. Internal audits are organized systematically by designated audit teams.

C. Risk & Mitigation:

The Company is in the process of identifying the risks involved in the business and try to mitigate those risks as follows:

1) Demand risk:

The food processing sector is an extension of Agri-Sector. Both are interdependent on each other for its progress. The developments in the food processing sector have created a demand in the fruits and vegetables segment of AgriSector. In this modern era, the consumer demands and tastes have been varied due to changing lifestyles, change in the customer tastes and priorities and they have become more health conscious.

2) Environmental risk:

Due to the changing environment, erratic atmosphere and weather conditions, the agricultural sector has seen a setback over past few years. The procurement of quality raw material at the right time and right price has become a difficult task, which results into rise in raw material costs which could affect the competitiveness and margins.

Mitigation:

The Company keeps track of decisive and bulk purchases and its reliable distribution network has enabled it to maintain uninterrupted availability of raw materials at predetermined costs.

3) Competition risk:

Competition in Food Industry is very strong and tough, as it covers International Players as well as Players from Organized and Unorganized Sector. It is difficult to balance the marketing and pricing strategies, because of the product range and volumes the International Players are dumping in the market and the low prices that are offered by the Unorganized Sector.

The ever increasing prices and scarcity of quality Raw Material also matters the financial performance of the Company, as the Prices of the Products marketed by the Company are market driven and there is hardly any chance to fix the Prices on its own.

Mitigation:

To match with the fast growing technical developments, the Company is also upgrading itself with new developed manufacturing techniques and is upgrading its manufacturing processes and production infrastructure. In the processed Food Industry, 'Packaging' is also a vital part. The Company is giving utmost thrust and importance to the packaging whereby the shelf life of the products is improved as well it attracts the attention of the Customers

D. Opportunities & outlook:

> The Company's objective is to achieve volume growth.

> The Company has focused to increase and strengthen the distribution coverage from 60 % to 80% outlets within Maharashtra

> To give further impetus to our EBITDA growth.

> The Company has planned to focus on launching products in other states also focused on entering new high-growth products to cater to the tastes of new generation.
