The Company feels happy to inform that it has established itself in the Indian Wood Pulp Market. Giving timely and excellent services Company has established dedicated customers whose base is steadily improving. However, the Wood Pulp market fluctuates according to international rates which effect margins and being a trader, the company is very much dependent on buyers and sellers for its growth.
The Pulp and Paper industry is important for several reasons. The opportunities for the paper and pulp industries are resource efficiency and bio-economy. The continuous improvements in technology can further reduce environmental impacts and optimize the use of resources.
The Indian paper sector is now being crushed by a lack of waste cuttings or waste paper, high costs for pulp, fibre, newsprint, container issues, such as rising freight charges, rising coal, chemicals and other inputs rates and lastly due to ongoing trade wars in the world. During the year under review, the international market for wood pulp was highly fluctuating.
c) Outlook:
In the Business support services your company is participating in the Tenders called by the Government, Semi-government and private companies. In the Business support Service sector the company is receiving regular work, not only from its existing clients but is also exploring opportunities from new clients. In the Financial Sector the share market was very volatile and hence your company taking adequate measures to ensure proper investment decision.
d) Segment wise or product wise reporting
The Company is engaged in only one segment and trades in the wood pulp. Performance of the Company is satisfactory due to the down turn in international markets largely affected by the events such as war like situations in countries and sluggish economic growth. Further it is envisaged that there will be improvement in the coming years and international markets will revive.
e) Risk and Concerns:
Wood Pulp rates fluctuate according to international market and being a trader, Company is dependent on its buyers and suppliers. The Company is exposed to stiff competition and foreign currency fluctuations in its operation. Commodity export market has good scope however, Company has to compete and supply goods at international prices. Government policies on commodity export keep on changing based on local production/consumption pattern.
f) Internal Control system and their adequacy:
The Company has a proper and adequate system of internal control proportionate to its size and volume of business. The internal control system of the Company is designed to ensure that the financial and other records are reliable for preparing financial statements and other data for maintaining accountability of assets.
