MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION & ANALYSIS REPORT, REVIEW OF OPERATIONS DURING THE YEAR & FUTURE PLANS

(i) Industry structure and developments.

Indian food processing industry is widely recognized as a sunrise industry, having huge potential for uplifting agricultural economy, creating of large scale processed food manufacturing and food chain facilities and the resultant generation of employment and export earnings. Indian food industry is expected to growth US$ 280 billion by 2015 and generate an additional employment for approximately8.2 million people.

Mushroom farming is practiced in more than 100 countries and its production is increasing at an annual rate of 6-7% presently. World production of mushroom is over 25 million tons as per claims of Chinese Association of edible mushrooms. Indoor cultivation of mushrooms utilizes the vertical space and is regarded as the highest protein producer per unit area and time – almost 100 times more than the conventional agriculture and animal husbandry. This high tech horticulture venture has a promising scope to meet the food shortages without undue pressure on land . In India, mushroom production shot up from near 5000 tons in 1992 over 1 lac tons in 2010. India produces about 600 million tons of agricultural waste annually and a major part of it are left out to decompose naturally for burnt in citu. This can effectively be utilized to produce highly nutritive food unlike mushrooms and spent mushroom substrate can be converted into organic manure for field crops. Mushroom growing is highly labour oriented venture and two factors, i.e, availabilities of raw material and labour make mushroom growing economically profitable in India. On the export front also, for the first time during 1994 India not only figured in the US imports but emerged as the IInd largest exporter of the canned mushrooms replacing Taiwan. Now a few commercial mushroom units are exporting canned mushrooms to the Americans, European and other countries regularly.

(ii) Opportunities and Threats. Opportunities

Foods and vegetables -fast growing sector

Fruits and vegetables are one of the most important and fast growing sub-sectors of the food processing industry. Over the last few years, there has been a positive growth in ready-to-serve beverages, fruit juices and pulps, dehydrated and frozen fruits and vegetable products, tomato products, pickles, convenience veg spice pastes, processed mushrooms and curried vegetables. The demand has increased because of the factors like consumption by nuclear families, working women, students and single employees staying alone. There are abundant opportunities in expanding the export market because of good international demand for certain fruits and vegetable products. The Indian food processing industry is primarily export oriented. India's geographical situation gives it the unique advantage of connectivity to Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Korea.

Macro-economic as well as industry specific (FMCG and Packaged Food) indications point to enduring buoyancy in the domestic market, while the international geographies in which your Company operates are likely to be stable as well. Changing demographics (young, higher disposable income, experimental, urbanization, willingness to spend) further fuelled by trends like a greater awareness of health and nutrition on one hand and more hedonism (especially the new' affluent' generation) is rapidly enlarging the opportunity.

Mushrooms:

Development trends of Mushroom industry is based on the increasing consumer consciousness and demand for nutritious quality and organic products in domestic and international market. Increasing interest in protection of environment from the industrial pollution and environment friendly progress in mushroom production and processing technologies resulting in tremendous growth in the productivity and production of mushrooms.

Strength:-

Mushrooms are grown seasonally as well as state-of-art environment controlled Crop room in the commercial units. It is highly labour oriented venture and labour availability is no constraint in the vicinity of Tarai Foods and two factors that is availabilities of raw materials and labour make mushroom growing economically profitable in this region. Moreover, Tarai foods Ltd. Rudrapur is located in the bowl of raw materials like Wheat Straw, Sugar cane Bagasse & Chicken Manure required for composting. Besides, the moderate climate of the Tarai region is well suited to mushroom production as temperature does not as high alike other parts of the country.

Awareness about food and medicinal values of mushrooms increasing quantitative use of mushrooms in the country thus creating better market for a product like fresh and processed mushrooms. There is increasing market for post harvest products like pickles or soup powder of mushrooms.

Threats

- Uncontrolled price structure

When there is a glut in the market, the price of certain food items falls down considerably but as the demand increases or there is shortage of those food items in the market the price rises up with a vast variation. Thus there is always an uncertainty in market prices of most of the food items which reduces the amount of net profit and this discourages the manufacturers/ producers of these food items. This problem gets aggravated during peak production months, also because there is no minimum support price from the Govt.

- High transportation charges:

Although, agro and animal wastes are available in plenty in India but their availability are not evenly distributed. Due to diversified climate and topography of land, different kinds of crops are raised in different parts of the Country and production/ manufacture have to pay heavy transport charges. The hike in diesel/petrol prices from time to time aggravates this problem.

- Commercial rate of electricity tariff:

Similarly, both small and big production/ manufacture have to pay electricity charges at commercial rate, although mushroom farming is an agricultural activity. It has been highlighted by the concerned scientific community during scientific gatherings, seminars, meetings etc. many times, but no relief has been given. This has led to high cost of production due to increased capital as well as recurring expenditure on production/manufacturing affecting its competitiveness in world markets.

- Competition: e.g. –Availability of canned Chinese mush roomatlower price.

- High cost of energy tariff for year round production though the mushrooms have been included as one of the agricultural crops.

- Unorganized production and sale particularly by seasonal farmers resulting in glut in market during winter months. This results in price cut in the period.

- Lack of modern facilities to produce quality compost, casing material spawn and processed products. TFL is going to improve its facilities in this regard.

To address these risks, the Company has a single point source supplier of Frozen/IQF (Individually Quick Frozen products to the customers as per their requirements with high quality products at a lower cost. Though the competition is fierce, the goodwill and the quality of the products offered by the Company are great plus factors and the Company expects to overcome the competition. The Company had expanded its product line both horizontally as well as vertically.

(iii) Segment wise & Product' Wise performance:

The Company operates in a single segment. The product wise performance is as under:

- Fresh Mushrooms

- Frozen Peas
