EXPLANATORY STATEMENT UNDER SECTION 102(1) OF THE COMPANIES ACT, 2013 (“the Act”)
ITEM NO.5
The Board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, has approved the appointment and remuneration of Mr. Sudhir Saxena, Cost Accountant (S.K. Saxena & Co., C/o 11, Shanti Nagar, Nai Sarak, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh) as Cost Auditors to conduct the audit of the cost records of the Company for the financial year ending March 31, 2016 at a remuneration of H50,000/- plus out of pocket expenses incurred for traveling, lodging and other expenses in connection with conducting the cost audit.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 148 of the Act read with Rule 14 of the Companies (Audit and Auditors) Rules, 2014, the remuneration payable to the Cost Auditors has to be ratified by the shareholders of the Company.
Accordingly, consent of the members is sought for passing an Ordinary Resolution as set out at Item No.5 of the Notice for ratification of the remuneration payable to the Cost Auditors for the financial year ending March 31, 2016.
None of the Directors / Key Managerial Personnel of the Company / their relatives are, in any way, concerned or interested, financially or otherwise, in the resolution set out at Item No.5 of the Notice.
The Board recommends the Ordinary Resolution set out at Item No.5 of the Notice for approval by the shareholders.
ITEM NO.6
The Articles of Association (“AoA”) of the Company is presently in force since its incorporation of the Company i.e. year 1989. The existing Articles of Association are in line with the erstwhile Companies Act 1956, which are thus no longer in full conformity with the Companies Act, 2013 (’New Act’). The New Act is now largely in force and substantive sections of the Act which deal
with the general working of companies stand notified. With the coming into force of the Act several articles of the existing Articles of Association of the Company require alteration / deletions. Given this position, it is considered expedient to wholly replace the existing Articles of Association by a new set of Articles. It is thus expedient to adopt new set of Articles of Association (primarily based on Table F set out under the Companies Act, 2013), in place of existing Articles of Association of the Company instead of amending the Articles of Association by alteration/incorporation of provisions of the Companies Act, 2013. Hence the Board of Directors at its meeting held on August 25, 2015 decided to adopt new set of Articles in place of existing Articles of Association of the Company and seek shareholders’ approval for the same. In terms of section 5 and 14 of the Companies Act, 2013, the consent of the members by way of special resolution is required for adoption of new set of Articles of Association of the Company. Your approval is sought by voting via e-Voting/polling in terms of the provisions of inter-alia, Section 14 of the Companies Act, 2013, read with the Companies (Incorporation) Rules, 2014. A copy of the proposed set of new Articles of Association of the Company would be available for inspection for the members at the Registered Office of the Company during the office hours on any working day, except Saturdays, between 11.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m. None of the Directors, Key Managerial Personnel of Company and their relatives are concerned or interested in the said resolution.

RE: Green Initiative in Corporate Governance: Go Paperless
The Ministry of Corporate Affairs (‘Ministry’) has taken a “Green Initiative in Corporate Governance” by allowing paperless compliances by companies through electronic mode.

Forward-Looking StatementIn this Annual Report, we have disclosed forward-looking information to enable investors to comprehend our prospects and take informed investment decisions. This report and other statements, written or oral, that we periodically make, contain forward-looking statements that set out anticipated results based on management’s plans and assumptions. We have tried, wherever possible, to identify such statements by using words such as ‘anticipates’, ‘estimates’, ‘expects’, ‘projects’, ‘intends’, ‘plans’, ‘believes’ and words of similar substance in connection with any discussion relating to future performance of the Company
We cannot guarantee that these forward-looking statements will be realised, although we believe we have been prudent in our assumptions. The achievement of results is subject to risks, uncertainties and even inaccurate assumptions. Should known or unknown risks or uncertainties materialise, or should underlying assumptions prove inaccurate, actual results could vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. Readers should bear this in mind.
We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Saal ek.In 2014-15, JVL Agro Industries Limited reported profitable growth. Our revenues increased by 1.23% inspite of fall in oil prices in the international markets while profit after tax strengthened by 2.24%.
However, the big message that we wish to send out to our stakeholders is that the real performance of the year under review lies in the initiative taken by the Company, the true outcome of which will manifest in the years to come.
Shuruaat
JVL’s real achievement of 2014-15 revolved around various back-end initiatives, the true impact of which will only manifest in the years to come.
Through a widened portfolio. Through an enhanced capacity. Through a foray into newer regions. Through backward integration.
With the objective to emerge as a sustainably profitable company by addressing the growing appetite of a resurgent India.

Managing Director’s reviewA question and answer session with Mr. S. N Jhunjhunwala, the MD of the Company
increased the number of premium oil brands within our portfolio.
We introduced our own rice brand during the course of the year, leveraging the established brand of our vegetable oil products, the full impact of which will reflect in the financials in 2015-16. The result is that the non-edible oil proportion of our revenues increased by H4.43 crore during the second half of the financial year under review.
The big message that one needs to send out is that after decades of servicing India’s suburban and rural markets, we are moving towards premiumisation. The true impact of these moves will be manifested through enhanced margins and profits from 2015-16 onwards.
Q: What other big message you wish to send out to the shareholders? A: The other big message is that we continued to accelerate our evolution from a vegetable oils company into an FMCG organisation. Over the last decade, JVL Agro Industries Limited strengthened its intangibles – its sales channels, its brands, its sectoral knowledge and its vendor relationships. The time has come for the Company to leverage two of its biggest assets – its brand and its distribution network. The Jhoola brand enjoys top-of-the-mind recall across 40% of the Indian landmass. Our distribution network covers 19 states and nearly 60% of the country’s population. The Company recognised that these two building blocks would allow us to market more products with speed and cost-competiveness. This is precisely the direction that the Company is now headed in. The result is that we are rapidly growing the non-
vegetable oil component of our business over the foreseeable future through calculated forays into dairy, corn and wheat processing segments.
Q: Why are these initiatives relevant? A: There is a transition sweeping the country even as we speak. This transition is the result of a number of concurrent realities and developments – the rise of the electronic media, increased incomes, enhanced aspirations, a willingness to extend beyond traditional diets, an openness to use new cooking media beyond the traditional ones, a growing recognition of the fact that unbalanced diets can lead to lifestyle diseases and a growing desire to buy branded products. At JVL Agro Industries Limited, we could have selected to remain a vanaspati company. The reality is that vanaspati accounted for no more than 6.22% of our revenues during the financial year under review.
The other big message that we intend to send out is that we could have conveniently remained an edible oils company focused on one oil. Instead, we have evolved into a multi-product edible oils company. We are now engaged in premiumising our portfolio while at the bottom of our product pyramid are vanaspati and palm oil while at the apex are sunflower and soyabean oils, making it possible to address the needs of every consumer segment.
Most corporates would have been content with this transition but not JVL Agro Industries Limited. The Company embarked on its next evolutionary stage – from processed oils to processed foods. The proportion of foods in our revenue mix is only 0.10% today but over the
next five years, we expect to increase this to 20%, thereby strengthening our revenues growth, margins, profits and overall de-risking.
Q: In what other ways is the Company focused on capturing prevailing opportunities? A: Perhaps the biggest initiative at JVL Agro Industries Limited is centered round the Mega Food Park. It is our conviction that one of the most attractive sectors to invest in India is the food processing sector. India is the second largest producer of vegetable in the world. However, only 6% of the food grown in the country is processed today, significantly lower than some of the developed markets. The country’s food processing sector is intrinsic to national growth and development; it strengthens the case for the organised sector that leads to upstream (farmer) and downstream (consumer) benefits. It also enhances agricultural value-addition and standardisation and facilitates a transfer of wealth from the urban to the rural.
The Indian Government has done well to capitalise on this reality. Attractive fiscal incentives have been offered by the Central and State Governments including capital subsidies, tax rebates, depreciation benefits, as well as reduced customs and excise duties for processed food and relevant machinery. The Central Government has been incentivising the creation of a cutting-edge processing infrastructure which has, in turn, driven the growth of JVL
Agro Industries Limited over the last few years. The time has come for the Company to leverage the prevailing governmental support to ascend to the
next league – through the creation of a full-fledged Mega Food Park within a vegetable-rich pocket of the country. The proposed food park that JVL Agro Industries Limited intends to launch will represent a seamless ecosystem (farm to fork), comprising processing plants, downstream consumption industries, ancillary (banking among others) businesses, and effluent treatment infrastructure. It is our conviction that the creation of such an infrastructure will be catalytic for our business – it will provide us with the opportunity to locate a number of processing plants within the complex and will enable us to lease such facilities to other companies as well. We foresee that India will be littered with such hubs across the coming decades and our first-mover advantage in this niche will make it possible for us to extend this concept across various states before others.
Q: How is this project expected to unfold?A: We expect that this H125 crore project will be commissioned over the next three years. The project will not only generate attractive financial returns for JVL Agro Industries Limited but unleash a host of opportunities by making it possible to commission world-class food processing facilities within the organised realm at relatively lower costs.
Q: Were you pleased with the performance of the Company in 2014-15?A: The financial year 2014-15 was all about consolidation, wherein we focused on maximising asset utilisation, increasing our throughput, strengthening our operational efficiencies and attempting to grow our margins and profits. A number of shareholders will be surprised that despite such a proactive mindset, the Company reported relatively flat topline growth. The reality is that the industry was marked by a decline in average realisations for most edible oil manufacturers, which translated into muted topline growth of around 10% increase in tonnage.
Q. What were some of the positives of the Company’s working during the year under review?A: There were a number of positive developments during the year under review, the effects of which were not immediately visible in our working but will progressively manifest themselves in stronger financials in the years to come.
We were able to increase the sweating of our production capacities in 2014-15, which made it possible to generate higher operating efficiencies and amortise our fixed costs more effectively.
We enhanced the visibility of our sunflower and soyabean oil brands during the course of the year and
The reality is that vanaspati accounted for no more than 6.22% of our revenues during the financial year under review.
12 | JVL Agro Industries Limited Annual Report, 2014-15 | 13
Q. What are some of the other initiatives undertaken by the Company to strengthen the business?A: One of the decisive initiatives undertaken by our Company during the last financial year was acquiring the approval related to setting up a vegetable oil refining capacity in Ethiopia. At JVL Agro Industries Limited, we are convinced that Africa is today where India was about 20 years ago – with
one difference. Africa will catch up with the future faster than India had taken. Companies that invest proactively in the continent will be able to understand consumer needs quicker, launch demand-centric products, and strengthen their foothold in a relatively under-branded market – basically shrinking the learning curve faster.
The approval for setting up a vegetable oil plant in Ethiopia last year was perhaps the only instance of such a license being awarded to an Indian food processing corporate. The land was allotted to a wholly-owned subsidiary. This decision will make it possible for us to achieve a number of things – de-risk the Company from an overdependence on a single country and enter new geographies just when their growth curve begin to swell. Thus making it possible for us to extend our full range of Indian products to Africa.
Q: How does the Company intend to widen its pan-Indian presence? A: During the year under review, JVL Agro Industries Limited acquired 12.5
acres of land at the Pipavav port in Gujarat to commission its next plant (7.5 acres adjacent to the port and 5 acres inside the port). We are optimistic that this will open up a completely new growth avenue. We will import raw oils, process this at the port and use existing linkages to transfer the oil to key consumption pockets within the hinterland. We shall also be crushing cotton seed at this plant.
Assuming that this plant will be operational over the next three years, we acquired an edible oil processing capacity in Gujarat on a job-work basis with the objective to seed the market and establish a sales and distribution network even before the plant becomes operational. This is a tried and tested strategy which ensures that at least 50% of our throughput is in place even before the plant commences commercial production.
Besides, we intend to commission an oil, chemical and rice processing facility in Guwahati, the permission for which we expect to get soon. This initiative will represent a forward integration, a conscious divergence from our present business model where we serve byproducts that are sold to prominent FMCG brands. Once we commission the plant, we will directly manufacture cosmetics. Even as this is uncharted territory for us, we are optimistic on account of the cost benefits available to us on the one hand and the governmental incentives in Assam on the other, expected to translate into an
attractively low breakeven point from day one. We are optimistic of introducing reasonably priced cosmetic products addressing the middle-class, thereby democratising the market.
Q: What is the outlook for the Company? A: At JVL Agro Industries Limited, we are targeting a 15-20% growth in throughput and a 3% increase in EBIDTA margin over the next two years provided all market conditions remain stable. One of the things that we would like our shareholders to note is that we have progressively de-risked the Company even as we have grown in size and stature. In the last two years, we have repaid H48.90 crore in terms loans, strengthening our debt-equity ratio from 0.49 to 0.45. Over the next two years, we expect that our working capital cycle will decline, reducing our interest outflow. We intend to enhance our profitability through a stronger product mix on the one hand and prudent use of government incentives on the other.
Q: Why do you think the valuation of JVL Agro Industries Limited has been low for years?A: This is something that has been a cause of concern. Despite the management having grown the Company’s financials while de-risking them, the Company’s discounting has under-performed the broad edible oil sector. We wish to communicate to shareholders that the JVL Agro management will continue to widen its portfolio and premiumise the product mix with the conviction that the volume-value interplay will enhance revenues, margins and profits, enhancing value in the hands of our shareholders.
In the last two years, we have repaid H48.90 crore in terms loans, strengthening our debt-equity ratio from 0.49 to 0.45.

INDIA.
The JVL management believes that the time has
come to leverage our rich sectoral understanding and
extend beyond India. Africa appears to be an ideal
destination for its demographic similarities with India.
Right now, with a couple of country exceptions,
Africa’s population density is relatively low. The
continent’s overall population is expected to more
than quadruple over just 90 years, an astonishingly
rapid growth that will make Africa more important
than ever. And it is not just that there will four times
the workforce, four times the resource burden and
four times as many voters. The rapid growth itself will
likely transform political and social dynamics within
African countries and their relationship with the rest
of the world.
Subsequently, the Company embarked on
commissioning a vegetable oil refinery in Ethiopia
(Africa). As a means to this end, the Company
acquired a 12,500 acre plantation on lease during
the fiscal under review.
This plant (production capacity 500 TPD) will not
only increase the present capacity by 16.67% but
will also establish JVL’s identity as a first-mover
within India’s processed oils space to commission a
plant in Africa.
This proactive step will allow the Company to be at
the right time and the right place to capitalise on
emerging opportunities.

Thereafter, the Company evolved its personality to enter the processed foods and

In 2014-15, JVL Agro laid out plans to enter the niche cosmetics space with a
proposed manufacturing facility in Assam.
The business does not represent an unrelated diversification; it represents a
synergic extension for a number of pertinent reasons.
The major byproducts generated from the processing of edible oils are being
marketed by the Company to cosmetic majors for onward manufacture.
Going ahead, the Company intends to process these byproducts to churn out
reasonably priced cosmetics, democratising the market, capturing a large slice of
the value chain and de-risking its business.
The niche addressed by the Company represents a lucrative $ 30.03 billion
global opportunity by 2020; this strategic diversification will allow the Company
to make the most of it.
20 | JVL Agro Industries Limited Annual Report, 2014-15 | 21
Our business model
JVL has one of the largest edible oil capacities at a single port-based location in India (Haldia, 1,200 TPD). The Company has grown its capacity more than 100-fold since inception from 25 TPD in 1990-91 to 3,000 TPD as of March 31, 2015, one of the largest in its space. It now plans to add another 500 TPD over the next couple of years.
Economies-of-scaleThe edible oil business is largely volume-driven with thin margins. This makes it imperative to cut costs. JVL Agro invested in building capacities, which helped leverage economies-of-scale and amortise a large proportion of its fixed costs.
The Company manufactures 1.8 million HDPE jars per annum and 4.2 millions tins per annum (along with handles and caps for containers). The Company is self-sufficient as far as power requirements are concerned.
Integrated approachJVL has channelised a cumulative H243 crore over the past five years towards operational integration. In 2007, the JVL invested in a 3-megawatt captive power plant at Varanasi. The entire packaging process is also taken care of in-house.
Jhoola is a market leader in Bihar and UP. The proportion of revenues earned from branded product sales constituted 77.97% of the total sales garnered during the 2014-15 fiscal.
BrandThe JVL Agro brand stands for ‘safety’ and ‘health’. Over the years, it has invested in conforming to the strictest quality and hygiene, parameters across its entire portfolio.
The Company strengthened its market preference by offering a wide range of SKUs – from 200 millilitres to 5 kilograms to 15 kilograms.
Product basket A key determinant of success in the FMCG business is sales velocity. JVL widened its product basket with the objective to address a range of customers – from mass to premium. From two products in 2005-06, the Company has emerged as a multi-product player.
22 | JVL Agro Industries Limited Annual Report, 2014-15 | 23
The contribution of mass and semi-premium segment to the Company’s total revenue mix increased at a CAGR of 19.21% over the five years leading to 2014-15.
Value-for-money propositionThe target consumers of the Indian edible oil manufacturers are mostly price-conscious middle and lower middle-class consumers, who desire quality products at affordable prices. JVL Agro restructured its pricing strategy to address the needs of this growing segment.
JVL increased its network from 4,000 dealers in 2013-14 to 7,000 dealers in 2014-15. More than 50% of the dealers have been working with the Company for five years or more.
Deep-rooted distribution networkIn India’s competitive FMCG industry, product availability ensures success. JVL has, over the years, made prudent investments in creating a widespread distribution channel, covering more than 1 lac retail outlets across India.

Global economic overviewThe global economy is on the path of
regaining its lost momentum as many
high-income countries continue to deal
with the repercussions of the global
financial crisis. Resultantly, global
growth has picked up, albeit marginally
in 2014, to 2.6% from 2.5% in 2013
(Source: IMF). Several major forces
are driving the global outlook including
softer commodity prices, persistently low
interest rates and a reasonable uptick
in consumption. Most importantly, the
sharp decline in oil prices since mid-
2014 is expected to support global
activities and help offset some of the
headwinds to growth in oil-importing
economies including that of India.
Reduced crude prices pose a serious
challenge for oil-exporting countries.
Conflicts in Syria, inflow of refugees into
Turkey, terrorist attacks in Iraq, the civil
war in Yemen and uncertainty over the
nature and timing of the US-Iran nuke
deal have hampered growth prospects.
Anticipating continued depression in oil
prices, the UAE and Saudi Arabia have
revised their forecasted GDP growths.
Kenya and Nigeria are reeling under
geopolitical tension and the expected
GDP growth has also been similarly
revised. Turkey has projected a GDP
growth of 3.1%. The devaluation of the
Nigerian naira, Turkish lira, Kenyan
shilling and Moroccan dirham against
the US dollar during the second half of
2014-15 posed a threat to growth in
these markets.
In the coming years, IMF projects world
growth to pick up modestly to 3.5%
by end-2015; it is estimated to grow
to 3.7% by 2016. According to IMF
reports, while advanced economies
are expected to grow stronger at an
increased rate of 2.4% in 2015,
emerging markets are predicted to show
a weaker growth of 4.3%, reflecting
uncertainty in some of the large
emerging market and oil economies.
High-income countries are likely to
witness growth of 2.2% till 2017, up
from 1.8% in 2014, on the back of
gradually recovering labour markets,
ebbing fiscal consolidation and lowering
financing costs.
Indian economic reviewWith a new and stable government at
the helm after a considerable while, the
economy has bounced back to its growth
track after a couple years. The Indian
economy grew at 7.3% in 2014-15
on the back of an improvement in the
performance of both the services as well
as the manufacturing sectors.
Lower oil prices and widespread
monetary easing has pegged India to
grow by 8% in 2015-16 according to
forecasts by the OECD, compared to
China, which is estimated to grow at 7%
during the same time. With labour costs
spiking in China, India is now expected
to emerge as the fastest growing major
economy in 2015-16. Further, the per
capita income at current prices during
2014-15 rose by 9.2% to H87,748
as against H80,388 in the previous
fiscal (it was H64,316 in 2011-12
and H71,593 in 2012-13). Gross fixed
capital formation increased from 3% in
2013-14 to 4.1% in 2014-15. Average
retail inflation moderated to 6.3% in
2014-15 as against 8.9% in 2013-14.
Food inflation declined from 9.5% in
2013-14 to 4.8% in 2014-15. India’s
current account could be a surplus in
2015, after 32 consecutive quarters in
deficit, and the deficit for the upcoming
fiscal could halve to 0.6% of the GDP
from 1.1% during the current fiscal.

concept introduced by CSO to measure
the economic activity, rose by 7.2%
in 2014-15 compared to 6.6% in the
previous fiscal. The manufacturing sector
GVA rose by 7.1% during the year as
against 5.3% in 2013-14. Similarly, the
output of electricity, gas, water supply
and other utility services rose by 7.9%
as against 4.8% a year ago.
Indian edible oil industryIndia, with 21% of world’s area and
15% of world’s production, is the fourth
largest oilseed producing country in
the world, next to the US, China and
Brazil. Oilseeds in India account for the
second largest agricultural commodity
after cereals, accounting for 13% of the
country’s gross cropped area, nearly 5%
of the gross national product and 10% of
the overall value of agricultural products.
The industry comprises 15,000 oil
mills, 600 solvent extraction units,
600 vegetable oil refineries and 250
vanaspati manufacturing units spread
across the country. These are engaged
in crushing and processing of oilseeds,
oilcakes, rice, bran and vegetable oils.
The Indian edible oil industry is a highly
fragmented one and in terms of volumes,
palm oil, soya bean oil and mustard oil
are the three largest consumed edible
oils in India.
According to the SEA, the vegetable
oil availability from kharif oilseeds and
secondary sources is estimated at 54.60
lac tonnes compared to last year’s 57.95
lac tonnes i.e. down by 3.35 lac tonnes
for 2014-15. This indicates that local
prices have ceased to be a determinant
of domestic demand-supply dynamics
which has instead been dictated by cues
from global markets. A strong inflow of
cheap oil from overseas is keeping the
local scenario depressed. This equation
is unlikely to change in the near-term
and a setback in rabi oilseeds harvest
might not lead to a massive rise in the
prices. Domestic oilseeds production
is projected to drop by 9% in 2014-
15. Although global farm commodity
prices have eased significantly, any
plunge in pulses and oilseed planting
raises risks of imported inflation as the
country meets around half of its annual
requirement of cooking oils through
overseas purchases (Source: CACP).
The Indian edible oil industry, which has
grown at a CAGR of 13% from 2009-14
in terms of the revenue, is expected to
cross H2,080 billion by 2019 due to the
increasing number of edible oil brands
and rising consumption of edible oil in
the country.
Production: Despite having a normal
monsoon during the last financial year,
the total production of edible oils in India
is expected to be around 7.91 million
tonnes, around 2% lower than the
production achieved in 2013-14 (8.08
million tonnes), because of a sharp
decline in kharif (summer) oilseeds
output, especially of groundnut.
Production of nine oilseeds during
2014-15 is estimated at 2.98 crore
tonnes according to the second advance
estimates of the Government of India.
This shows a drop of around 9.7%
compared to 3.27 crore tonnes of
production during 2013-14, according
to final official estimates. These oilseeds
include groundnut, castor seed, sesame,
niger seed, rapeseed, linseed, safflower,
sunflower and soya bean.
Consumption: While the domestic
edible oil consumption has been
steadily growing over the past few years
to reach a per capita consumption of
approximately 16 kilograms per year
per person, it still remains far below
the estimated world average per capita
consumption of around 22 kilograms.
The demand drivers include consistent
GDP growth rate over a period of time,
demographic profile, urbanisation,
consumer tastes and preferences,
among others. However, the supply
growth has been lower primarily due
to a relative stagnation in the domestic
oilseed output, resulting in higher import
volumes.
Imports: In view of the demand-supply
gap, over 60% of the domestic edible
oil consumption is met by imports, with
palm and soya bean oil accounting for
over 85% of the imported volume. The
domestic soya crop production was
marginally lower – around 11 million
metric tonnes in India during the year
under review.
OutlookThe Indian edible oils market continues
to be underpenetrated and given the
positive macro and demographic
fundamentals, the prospects of medium-
to long-term growth seem bright. The
Indian per capita consumption for
edible oil is expected to grow from the
current consumption levels of ~16
kilograms to ~24 kilograms by 2020
with a conservative CAGR of around
6%. This growth is expected to translate
into an edible oil consumption market
of approximately 32 million tonnes by
2020.
Indian food processing industryIndia is the world’s second largest
producer of food next to China and the
Indian food processing industry is one
of the largest industries in India – it
is ranked fifth in terms of production,
consumption and exports. Accounting
for about 32% of the country’s total food
market, 14% of the manufacturing GDP,
13% of India’s exports and 6% of total
industrial investment, the Indian food
processing industry is poised for a huge
growth in years to come.
The Indian food processing industry is
divided into agro-products, milk and milk
products, and meat, poultry and marine
products. In agro-products, India is the
largest producer of several fruits, such
as banana, mango and papaya. It is also
the second largest producer of vegetables
such as brinjal, cabbage and onion,
and of rice, wheat, sugar and cotton.
In milk and milk products, India is the
largest producer, accounting for 20% of
global production. In terms of livestock,
the country has the largest livestock
population in the world.
The Indian food and grocery market
is the world’s sixth largest, with retail
accounting for 70% of the sales and is
projected to grow at the rate of 104%,
touching US$ 482 billion by 2020. This
industry contributes as much as 9-10%
of the agricultural and manufacturing
sector GDP.
The food processing industry in India
has the potential to contribute to the
country’s agricultural growth and
employment, alleviate rural poverty,
guarantee food and nutritional security
and contain food inflation. Currently,
India has 85,000 bakery units of which
75,000 operate in the unorganised
sector, garnering a 65% market share.
The per capita bakery consumption
stands at 1-2 kilograms per annum.
Growth drivers for the food processing industryGrowth of the Indian food processing
industry has been catalysed by changing
demographics, increasing population,
growing affordability and urbanisation,
resulting in a growing demand for value-
added food processing products. The
industry opportunities are marked by the
following:
Growing population: India, with 1.31
billion people, is the second most
populous country in the world after
China (1.38 billion), but by 2022,
India’s population will exceed even with
that of China. According to forecasts,
India will have 1.5 billion people by

Rising Indian rural economy: Extreme
rural poverty has declined from 94% in
1985 to 61% in 2005 and is projected
to drop to 26% by 2025.
Rising middle class population: The
middle class, defined as households
with disposable incomes from H200,000
to 1,000,000 a year, comprises about
50 million people, roughly 5% of the
population at present. By 2025, the size
of middle class is expected to increase to
about 583 million people, or 41% of the
current population.
Rising affluent class: The affluent
class, defined as those earning above
H1,000,000 a year, will increase from
0.2% of the population at present to
2% of the population by 2025. The
affluent class’s share of national private
consumption is expected to increase
from 7% at present to 20% in 2025.
Growing per capita income: India’s per
capita net national income during 2014-
15 was pegged at around H88,538
($1,434), showing a rise of 10.1% from
H80,388 ($1,302) during 2013-14.
OutlookThe support that the Government of
India is lavishing on the growth of
the processed foods sector has led
to a positive outlook. The Central
Government’s Vision 2015 initiative has
allocated USD 20 billion towards the
sector, while relaxing the regulations
governing licensing and excise. Other
strategic initiatives by the Central
Government include the approval of
51% ownership of foreign retailers in
joint ventures and the establishment
of mega food parks and cold chain
facilities, including refrigerated vans. All
Favourable government policies The Government of India allows 100% FDI under the automatic route in the food processing sector, in agro-products, milk and milk products, and marine and meat products. Automatic approvals are provided for foreign investment and technology transfer in most cases. Units based on agro-products that are 100% export-oriented are allowed to sell up to 50% in the domestic market. There is no import duty on capital goods and raw material for 100% export-oriented units. Earnings from export activities are exempt from corporate tax. Additionally, there is 100% tax exemption for five years, followed by 25% tax exemption for the next
five years for new agro-processing industries.There is an increasing awareness about the need to bolster India’s food processing sector, given the country’s immense potential with regard to agricultural production. Some of the policies and promotions for the food processing sector are:
• Vision 2015 Action Plan: The Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) has formulated a Vision 2015 Action Plan that includes trebling the size of the food processing industry, raising the level of processing of perishables from 6% to 20%, increasing value addition from 20% to 35%, and enhancing India’s share in global food trade from 1.5% to 3%.
• Mega food parks: According to the website of MoFPI, the Government of India is actively promoting the concept of mega food parks and is expected to set up 30 such parks across the country to attract FDI. The government has released a total assistance of USD 23 million to implement the Food Parks Scheme. It has, until now, approved 50 food parks for assistance across the country. The Centre has also planned a subsidy of USD 22 billion for mega food processing parks.
• Agro-export zones: The government has established 60 fully equipped agro-export zones (AEZs), in addition to food parks, to provide a boost to agricultural and food processing exports.
these positive measures are expected to
catapult the food processing sector onto
a higher growth trajectory that would
almost double the country’s presence
in the global food trade to 3%. These
initiatives will also enable the industry
to bring in stability in food prices,
reasonable returns for farmers and other
stakeholders, and create a projected 9
million jobs.
Company overviewJVL Agro Industries Limited (formally
known as Jhunjhunwala Vanaspati
Limited) was incorporated in 1989. The
Company manufactures hydrogenated
vegetable oil (vanaspati), refined oils
and rice from its manufacturing facilities
in Naupur (UP), Pahleza (Bihar), Alwar
(Rajasthan), Haldia (West Bengal) and
Sasaram (Bihar).
The Company commenced with a
production capacity of 25 metric tonnes
per day; today, the Company is the
single largest manufacturer of edible oil
in India (3000 metric tonnes per day).
The Company’s name was changed from
Jhunjhunwala Vanaspati Limited to JVL
Agro Industries Limited on October 21,
2008 due to diversification of Company
operations from a hydrogenated
vegetable oil manufacturer to multi-
product dealer.
Financial overviewIn 2014-15, the Company reported
an increase of 1.23% in revenues
from H4350.47 crore in 2013-14
to H4403.88 crore in 2014-15. The
revenue for all four quarters surpassed
the corresponding period of the previous
financial year. The Company’s profit after
tax grew from H61.26 crore in 2013-14
to H62.63 crore 2014-15, an increase
of 2.24%. EBIDTA decreased by 0.15%
to H123.79 crore in 2014-15 from
H123.97 crore in 2013-14. Cash profit
decreased from H80.01 crore in 2013-
14 to H78.87 crore in 2014-15.

decreased by 2.48% to H3,264.13 crore
from H3,347.19 crore in 2013-14.
Operating costs: The Company’s
operating expenses increased marginally
in 2014-15 by 1% from H4,304.53
crore in 2013-14 to H4,343.12 crore in
2014-15. The proportion of operating
expenses to the total revenue stood
at 99% in 2014-15, which is almost
identical to last year.
Equity: The Company’s share capital

surplus increased 13% from H449.36
crore as on March 31, 2014 to H508.07
crore as on March 31, 2015 following
an increase in profit plough back. The
security premium account remained
unchanged at H112.05 crore during the
year under review.
External funds and costs: Debt forms an
integral part of the day-to-day running
of the business. The quantum and the
cost associated with the same plays
an important role in the prospect of
the business. Profits of the Company
are being impacted by the short-term
borrowings of the Company while the
long-term debts dictate the ability with
which the Company is able to mobilise
funds for its projects. Reliance of the
debt has increased this year by nearly
14% from H208.17 as on March
31, 2014 to H237.48 as on March
31, 2015, largely owing to various
expansion and diversification strategies
undertaken by the Company during the
year under review.
Long-term borrowings of the Company
constituted 28% of the total external
borrowings of the Company in 2014-15
compared to 36% in 2013-14 whereas
short-term borrowings constituted 72%
in 2014-15 compared to 64% in 2013-
14. The long-term borrowings of the
Company decreased 10% from H74.41
crore in 2013-14 to H66.66 crore in
2014-15 whereas short-term borrowings

of the Company increased 28% from
H133.76 crore as on March 31, 2014 to
H170.82 crore as on March 31, 2015.
Interest costs: The finance cost for the
Company in 2014-15 increased by
nearly 20% from H35.20 in 2013-14
to H42.07 crore in 2014-15, largely
owing to the increase in the short-term
borrowings of the Company in 2013-14.
The interest coverage for 2014-15 stood
at 2.6x compared to 3.0x in 2013-14.
Net block: The net block (tangible
assets) of the Company increased by
nearly 7.36% from H383.13 crore as on
March 31, 2014 to H411.32 crore as on
March 31, 2015, largely on account of
the increase in the plant and machinery
and building during the year.
However, depreciation decreased by
13% from H18.75 crore in 2013-14
to H16.24 crore in 2014-15. The
Company follows a straight line method
of depreciation.
Debtors: Trade receivables of the
Company increased substantially during
the year under review from H188.64
crore in 2013-14 to H288.75 crore
in 2014-15. The receivables cycle for
2014-15 stood at 20 days compared to
15 days in 2013-14.
Investments: The Company’s investment
portfolio comprised mutual funds and
equity investments only. It stood at
H5.44 crore as on March 31, 2015
compared to H5.53 crore as on March
31, 2014.
Working capital: Working capital
is essential to fund the day-to-day
operations of a business. Working capital
constituted 37.67% of the total capital
employed. The Company’s working
capital was used to purchase raw
material, manage overheads and provide
credit.
Inventory: The inventory of the Company
increased 24% from H454.20 crore in
2013-14 to H562.61 crore in 2014-15.
Human resource managementThe Company’s comprehensive HR
policy conducts manpower training and
development exercises keeping in mind
the growing requirement for skilled
manpower for its new initiatives. The
Company’s factory at Naupur was used
as technical training ground for technical
manpower. The employees were also
sent to the Company’s other units for
training, helping reduce manpower
costs. This also reduced the poaching
of manpower and developed a sense of
belonging, resulting in greater employee
satisfaction and a high retention rate.
During the year under review, the
Company commissioned the installation
of SAP system and hired the services
of KPMG for this purpose. With SAP
installation, where on one hand the
Company’s operations will be further
strengthened and operationally
smoothened, on the other hand it is
equally beneficial to the employees as
their working efficiency will improve and
become easier. The KPMG team, along
with the IT team of the Company, is in
the process of providing suitable training
to the Company human resources.
Further, as has been its practice, the
Company hired management trainees
from reputed MBA institutions and gave
them on-the-job practical work exposure.
Internal controls and systemsJVL’s elaborate internal control systems
ensure efficient use and protection
of resources and compliance with
policies, procedures and statutory
requirements. The internal control
systems comprise well-documented
guidelines, authorisation and approval
procedures, including periodic audits.
Intrinsic to the overall governance
process, JVL has institutionalised a
well-established internal audit framework
which covers all aspects of financial and
operational controls across functions and
departments. The Company is in the
process of completing the installation of
SAP which, once fully operational, will
be way to beneficial and strengthen the
internal monitoring and control systems.
For this purpose, the Company has hired
the services of KPMG India team.
India is the world’s largest edible oil importer and the second most populous nation in the world, with over 1.2 bn people.
India imports around 11 million tonnes/year of edible oil, against domestic production of 7-8 million tonnes.
The country consumes around 19 million tonnes/year of edible oil and per
capita consumption stands at around 14-16 kg, compared with a global average of 23.73 kg.
The government’s 12th five-year plan (2012-17) aims to increase domestic production of oils to 9.51 million tonnes by the end of 2016-17 through increasing oilseed area and productivity.
A majority of risks faced by the Company are inherent to its business activities ranging from agricultural crops in monsoon, economic cycles across the globe and the country.
As a proactive Company, JVL has adopted an effective and structured risk management framework which forms an integral part of its business management towards creating and protecting stakeholder value.
The Company has formulated a structured risk identification, review and mitigation process.
Risk management
The Company’s growth is largely dependent on the edible oil sector, which is linked to increasing consumption expenditure. A downturn could depress performance.
Industry risk
As a backward integration strategy, the Company is planning to start a mustard crushing unit at Bihar’s food park and a cotton seed crushing unit at Gujarat, ensuring regular and cheap raw material supply. The Company also acquired a 12,500 acre plantation in Ethiopia on lease for its agricultural activities.
Over the years, the Company has established trusted relationships with credible palm plantation owners in Indonesia and Malaysia as well as soybean oil providers in Argentina and Brazil, which facilitates consistent raw material supply at superior price-value, ensuring full security of raw material supply in adverse situations.
The business of edible oils is critically dependent on the import of raw materials; any supply disruptions could lead to a reduction in the output and, in turn, impact the sales and profitability of the Company.
Raw material risk
32 | JVL Agro Industries Limited Annual Report, 2014-15 | 33
JVL has been the market leader for the last 15 years in UP and Bihar in the cooking oil segment through a strong customer pull created by the Company’s prominent brand, Jhoola.
JVL is among the few players in the industry who have been able to position themselves as one-stop shops for all kinds of edible oil needs, and thus have been able to create a strong identity for themselves in the market.
The Company invested H0.67 crore during the FY15 towards its branding and promotional activities which helped the Company create a strong awareness for its products among its target audience.
The Company was predominantly present in central and eastern India, but with an objective to become an all-India brand, the Company forayed into the western India territory.
Growing competition may lead to an inability to achieve top-of-the-mind customer recall which, in turn, may affect the Company’s brand and offtake.
At JVL, we practise stringent quality control measures at all levels commencing right from the purchase of raw material to the packaging process, reflected in its ISO certifications. Moreover, a long-standing healthy relationship with its raw material
suppliers ensures quality raw material import as well as an extended product shelf life.
The Company also has in place a proactive R&D team which ensures that the Company delivers quality products to its customers.
Being involved in the business of products which have health implications, product quality plays an important role in the success of the business and any inconsistency can lead to customer attrition.
Quality risk
Brand risk
The Company has, over the years, expanded its portfolio from mass products to premium products. Thus, it has been able to position itself as a complete solution provider in the edible oil segment.
The Company restructured its product portfolio from the vanaspati segment to the premium oil segment (sunflower oil and soya bean oil) in response to changing consumer needs and preferences and has also added canola oil to its portfolio.
In the last ten years, the Company has added eight new products to its product portfolio.
In order to reduce its dependence on the oil business, the Company embarked on the path of setting up a chemical plant in Assam producing cosmetic products, as a part of its forward integration strategy and the same is expected to contribute 10% to the total revenue mix once it becomes operational.
Excessive dependence on a single product may affect the profitability of the Company in the long run.
Product portfolio risk
During the year, the Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of the Company comprising Mr. Mahesh Kedia as the Chairman and Mr. Adarsh Jhunjhunwala and Mr. S.N. Jhunjhunwala as other members devised a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policy indicating the activities to be undertaken by the Company concerning its discharge of duties on CSR front. The highlighted activities were in line with the notified activities qualifying CSR criterion. The Committee monitors the implementation of the framework of the CSR Policy and recommends the amount to be spent on CSR activities.
EducationThe Company operates two schools for educating the impoverished and social upliftment in and around its area of operations – first, Prahlad Rai Jhunjhunwala Saraswati Shishu Mandir with 400+ students close to the Naupur unit.
Second, Hari Vidhya Mandir Higher Secondary School with 300+ students at Sahupuri, UP.
Both schools are affiliated to the UP Board and funded by the Company. JVL also provides scholarships to deserving students. The Company bought more
buses to pick the children from remote places and bring them to study at these two schools, so that it can spread the message of education and help the needy who cannot afford to travel to school every day. During the year, the Company also arranged for requisite furniture to promote education.
