BASMATI RICE INDUSTRY

Made by:
Vinamra Bansal Infinity Business School EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The following research report relates to the basmati rice industry of India. India is the second largest producer of rice in the world. But the contribution of Basmati rice in the overall rice production is very minute. India and Pakistan are the only two countries that hold the patent to produce Basmati rice in the world. Basmati rice is known for its aroma and nutlike flavour. When cooked, it swells only lengthwise, resulting in long slender grains that are dry, separate and fluffy. The production process of Basmati rice is the most critical part because if the rice gets broken it will not command premium price in the export market. Therefore, utmost care has to be taken while producing it so that the grain is long enough to command premium price. For this a company needs to have state of the art production facilities in place. The maturity period also plays a key role because if the maturity period is long the rice produced will be of a superior quality. The demand and supply of Basmati rice is constantly increasing over the last few years. With the introduction of PUSA 1121 to the Basmati rice family, favourable demographics of India and demand for new markets such as China and Mexico it will increase further in the coming years. On the other hand more realizations from producing Basmati rice to farmers, increasing awareness and increase in demand from the foreign countries will result in increase in the supply as well. The top four players in the organized market are REI Agro, LT Foods, KRBL and Kohinoor. REI Agro follows fully integrated model whereby it does all the operations from procurement of paddy to ultimately selling it to the final consumer. On the other hand the rest three players besides producing rice also rely on a bit of trading. These players concentrate more on branding unlike REI Agro who is more of a volume player. Both

Also, it has no close substitutes or perfect substitutes. This makes the importance of rice inevitable. On the other hand, the rice market has an elastic supply.

    Supply Chain of Potato

    Horticulture produce in India is largely marketed through traditional channels. A typical marketing chain for horticultural produce consists of several players. Typically, in the traditional supply chain where the produce of several farmers is aggregated, there is no premium for quality produce. Hence the farmer is not motivated to focus on quality issues. In recent years, with high private sector investment in processing, exports and retailing of horticultural produce, there is increasing emphasis on developing supply chains for quality…

    Edible Agro

    CONTROLLED COPY Edible Agro Products Limited: Creating Higher Value for Farmers. One Monday afternoon in July 2010, Ashok Agarwal, the director of Edible Agro Products Limited (EAPL) sat in his Kolkata office, his brows furrowed in confusion as he considered the production figures laid out before him. The reasons for his confusion were the production figures for the harvested produce of the new white sesame variety Gujarat Til-2 (GT-2) from Gujarat, a state in Western India (Exhibit 1). Keeping in mind the amount of sesame seeds he had supplied to the farmers, the harvested production was way below of his conservative expectation of yield of at least 200 times per kg of supplied seeds. He had started supplying this new variety in 2008, and this was the third consecutive year the yield had not met his expectations. At the beginning of the season in 2010 he had distributed 7000 Kg of GT- 2 to the state of West Bengal1 farmers. He had expected to receive a harvested produce of a minimum of 1400 metric ton. However, the report presented by the stores department proved that EAPL had received only 300 metric ton of harvested produce. Worse, some of the farmers who had considerable experience of sesame production had reported a lower yield of the new variety than local established varieties. EAPL, a West Bengal based company had been in the agri-business of trading oil including sesame oil. It entered in the trading of sesame seeds in recent past, and dealt with all types of seeds other than white seeds. In 2006, Agarwal attended an international conference on sesame in China. Agarwal learned about significant benefit of white sesame over Brown sesame in that seminar. His entrepreneurial acumen sensed an opportunity and scope for a sustainable social entrepreneurial venture. He asked himself ‘what can I do to develop the farmers in West Bengal and give them higher value’. Agarwal's vision was to promote the advantages of white sesame in West Bengal. He knew that the…

    The patenting of Basmati by RiceTec Inc. is perceived as not only intellectual property and cultural theft, but it also directly threatens farm communities in Southeast Asia. The main aim for obtaining the patent by RiceTec Inc. is to fool the consumers in believing there is no difference between spurious Basmati and real Basmati. Moreover, the theft involved in the Basmati patent is, therefore, threefold: a theft of collective intellectual and biodiversity heritage on farmers of South Asia, a theft from traders in the SE region and exporters whose markets are being stolen by RiceTec Inc., and finally a deception of consumers since RiceTec is using a stolen name Basmati for rice which are derived from Indian rice…

    Rice is the staple food for 65% of the population in India. It is the largest consumed calorie source among the food grains. With a per capita availability of 73.8 kg it meets 31% of the total calorie requirement of the population. India is the second largest producer of rice in the world next to China. The all India area, production, and yield of rice in the year 2001-02 was 44.62 million hectares, 93.08 million tons and 2086 kg/ ha respectively. In India paddy occupies the first place both in area and production. The crop occupies about 37 % of the total cropped area and 44% (2001-02 position) of total production of food grains in India. West Bengal is the leading producer of paddy in the country. It accounts for 16.39% of the total production, and the other leading states are Uttar Pradesh (13.38%), Andhra Pradesh (12.24%), Punjab (9.47%), Orissa (7.68%) and Tamil Nadu (7.38%); the remaining states account for 33.45% of the production. India is also one of the leading exporters of rice in the world market. India's export of rice stood at 23.89 lakh MT in 1997-98. The corresponding value of foreign exchange earned was to the tune of Rs. 3371.00 crore in 1997-98. Indian Basmati Rice has been a favorite among international rice buyers. Following liberalization of international trade after World Trade Agreement, Indian rice will become highly competitive and has been identified as one of the major commodities for export. This provides us with ample opportunity for development of rice based value-added products for earning more foreign exchange. Apart from rice milling, processing of rice bran for oil extraction is also an important agro processing activity for value addition, income and employment generation.…
