difficult for the domestic oil producers to keep up with the demand

Industry Overview
Differing regulations for import of oil seeds, crude oil and refined oil

 Government imposes a 30% duty on import of oilseeds and prohibits imports of genetically modified crop to protect
organic farming status in oilseeds
 Plant Quarantine Order passed in 2002 states that all imports should be certified pest free and seeds should be de-
Oil Seeds vitalized (cannot be used for growing crop)
 Since seeds are de-vitalized by splitting them at the origin, they can degrade in quality during shipping
 Owing to the above issues the import of oilseeds is negligible in India

 As India’s reliance on imported edible oil increases, Government has gradually decreased duty on import of crude
edible oil
Crude  Currently there is zero duty on import of crude edible oil
Edible Oil  Edible oil is an essential commodity that has a direct impact of inflation
 Government drops import duties when domestic prices show rapid escalation to protect consumers

 The government maintains a differential between refined and crude oil duties to encourage investment in capacity
Refined Oil  In recent past, this differential has been reduced, however it continues to be maintained to ensure capacity
utilization and value addition in India
 Currently there is a 7.73% duty on import of refined edible oils in India

Industry Overview
Price of mustard oil moves in tandem with refined oils

 The price of mustard oil is a function of the supply of mustard seeds and prevailing price of palm and soyabean oil
 A deficit in supply of mustard tends to increase its price, however if the price differential between mustard and soybean or
palm increases significantly, then people tend to shift towards palm or soyabean oil resulting in a decreased demand for
mustard and thus bringing the mustard price down
 Thus mustard price, in addition to its supply – demand scenario is also significantly impacted by the soyabean or palm oil
prices and the differential it maintains over them
 This price differential between mustard and other refined oil has steadily increased over last few years due to popularizing and
branding efforts of mustard oil industry, led by KSO and mustard oil’s positioning as a heart friendly oil

Industry Overview
Recent trends in mustard oil industry

 Currently sales of branded mustard oil constitute 35% of total mustard oil sales in India
 With increasing quality and health consciousness coupled with increasing per capita disposable income, the
share of branded mustard oil is set to increase
Increasing  Only ~16% of Indian households consume branded edible oils – Branded edible oils have penetrated 31%
Consumption of of households in urban areas and only 9% in rural areas
Branded Oil  Among branded oils, refined oil accounts for 60%of consumption and crude oil (only filtered) accounts
for the balance
 Branded mustard oil segment is expected to grow at ~40% p.a. and will outpace the overall branded
edible oil growth of ~25 - 30%(1)

 Owing to recent financial crisis, several poor harvests and reduction in import duties a number of small scale
players have become unviable and have either closed down or been taken over by larger players
 Given the limited supply of mustard seeds, overall capacity utilization is low for the mustard oil industry;
Increasing Share however, organized players enjoy significantly higher capacity utilization on account of better sourcing
of Organized capabilities
Sector
 Organized sector is well positioned to capture incremental growth
 Larger players have key advantages like access to cheaper credit, ability to sustain price wars and low
marginal cost of production

 Owing to better absorption of mustard oil by the skin, usage of mustard oil for non-edible purposes (such as
Increasing Usage hair and skin applications) is significantly increasing
of Mustard Oil for
Non-Edible  This could result in growth in the demand for mustard oil and also improve margins for the players given the
Purposes higher premium which non-edible branded oils command e.g. ‘Parachute’ brand of coconut oil (used for hair
and skin applications) sells at over 100% premium to the ordinary coconut oil

Seed Procurement

Purchase from Purchase at Mandis


Traders/ Stockists
Farmers (‘Adatiyas’/ Commission Agents)

Direct Purchases

 During harvest seasons KSO purchases directly from farmers on an immediate basis. In India mustard crop is
harvested during summer and soyabean crop is harvested in winter, resulting in high capacity utilization levels for
KSO throughout the year
 Purchase at Mandis is through an auction process and payment is on immediate basis. KSO has licenses to
participate in the auction in every mustard producing state
 KSO also procures seeds through agents / sub-agents who charge commission ranging from 50 -100 basis points
 For purchases made from agents, the quality risk lies with the agents

 For purchases made from sub agents, payment is made on delivery

 KSO also accepts sale at its facilities, wherein small traders sell seeds directly to KSO

Overview Process Flow


 Kachchi Ghani is the pungent mustard oil which is
characteristic to the Indian market and is largely Mustard
consumed in northern and eastern states of India Seeds

 Traditional extraction of mustard oil using only Kohllu


process resulted in loss of pungency
 Kohllu process being relatively less scaleable creates
significant entry barriers for new players Seed
Conditioning
 KSO has perfected the process for manufacture of the
Kachchi Ghani mustard oil using it’s indigenously
developed seed preparation technology (patent applied Conditioned Seed
for)
KSO’s production process entails 32% to 35% oil
 Cold Press
with Pungency
Expellers of ~0.32
 Seed conditioning done prior to crushing using an
indigenously developed technology which allows the
pungency to be retained in the oil Oil Cakes

 Crushing of seeds in a cold press expeller which


results in the production of 32% to 35% oil with 7 to 9% non-
Solvent
pungent
pungency of ~0.32 Extractor solvent oil

 Mustard oil cakes are further fed into the solvent


extractor via conveyors to extract the remaining oil
KSO has replaced the traditional Kohllu process with its indigenously developed seed preparation technology which is a
more efficient and scalable process for the manufacture of pungent Kachchi Ghani mustard oil

 Company’s key markets included North India, East  For each market mentioned, the Company had a
India and West India specific distribution network:
 East India – Markets of Uttar Pradesh,  For the East and North East Region, goods were
Uttarkhand, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, transported through railway rakes
Orissa and Madhya Pradesh and North East
states of India.  Kolkata, Guwahati and Dimapur were themajor
railway arrival points for the Company’s goods
 North India – Delhi, Rajasthan, Himachal,
in this region. The Company had its own depots
Haryana, Punjab and Jammu & Kashmir.
in these stations
 West India– Markets of Maharashtra,
Chattisgarh and Gujarat.  For the rest of India, the Company had set up a
network of C&Fs and Depots to cater to
Distributors and Wholesalers

The company had developed a pan India distribution network covering North, East and Central India with brands like
Kalash, Double Sher, etc, however the company could not focus on the same over the past two years due to various
constraints. The same can be restored by a strategic player by reinitiating focus on the network.
