INDUSTRY PROFILE

Dried fruit is fruit from which the majority of the original water content has been removed either
naturally, through sun drying, or through the use of specialized dryers or dehydrators. Dried fruit
has a long tradition of use dating back to the fourth millennium BC in Mesopotamia, and is prized
because of its sweet taste, nutritive value, and long shelf life.

HISTORY:
Traditional dried fruit such as raisins, figs, dates, apricots and apples have been a staple of
Mediterranean diets for millennia. This is due partly to their early cultivation in the Middle Eastern
region known as the Fertile Crescent, made up by parts of modern Iran, Iraq, southwest Turkey,
Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and northern Egypt. Drying or dehydration also happened to be
the earliest form of food preservation: grapes, dates, and figs that fell from the tree or vine would
dry in the hot sun. Early hunter-gatherers observed that this fallen fruit took on an edible form and
valued them for their stability as well as their concentrated sweetness.

The earliest recorded mention of dried fruits can be found in Mesopotamian tablets dating to about
1500 BC, which contain what are probably the oldest known written recipes. These clay slabs,
written in Akkadian, the daily language of Babylonia, were inscribed in cuneiform and tell of diets
based on grains (barley, millet, wheat), vegetables and fruits such as dates, figs, apples,

7
pomegranates, and grapes. These early civilizations used dates, date juice evaporated into syrup and

raisins as sweeteners. They included dried fruits in their breads for which they had more than 300
recipes, from simple barley bread for the workers to very elaborate, spiced cakes with honey for the
palaces and temples. The date palm was one of the first cultivated trees. It was domesticated in
Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago. It grew abundantly in the Fertile Crescent and it was so
productive (an average date palm produces 50 kg (100 lbs.) of fruit a year for 60 years or more) that
dates were the cheapest of staple foods. Because they were so valuable, they were well recorded in
Assyrian and Babylonian monuments and temples. The villagers in Mesopotamia dried them and
ate them as sweets. Whether fresh, soft-dried or hard- dried, they helped to give character to meat
dishes and grain pies. They were valued by travelers for their energy and were recommended as
stimulants against fatigue.

Temple of Nahki, Egypt. Harvesting grapes, many of which would be dried into raisins.Figs were
also prized in early Mesopotamia, Palestine and Egypt where their daily use was probably greater

8
than or equal to that of dates. As well as appearing in wall paintings, many specimens have been
found in Egyptian tombs as funerary offerings. In Greece and Crete, figs grew very readily and they
were the staple of poor and rich alike, particularly in their dried form. Grape cultivation first began in
Armenia and the eastern regions of the Mediterranean in the 4th century BC. Raisins were produced
by drying grapes in the hot desert sun. Very quickly, viticulture and raisin production spread across
northern Africa including Morocco and Tunisia. The Phoenicians and the Egyptians popularized the
production of raisins, probably due to the perfect arid environment for sun drying.

They put them in jars for storage and allotted them to the different temples by the thousands. They
also added them to breads and various pastries, some made with honey, some with milk and eggs.

From the Middle East, these fruits spread through Greece to Italy where they became a major part
of the diet. Ancient Romans consumed raisins in spectacular quantities and at all levels of society,
including them as a key part of their common meals, along with olives and fresh fruits. Raisin
breads were common for breakfast and were consumed with their grains, beans, and cultured milks.
Raisins were so valued that they transcended the food realm and became rewards for successful
athletes, as well as premium barter currency.

Figs in the basket, Pompeii: Dried figs were very popular in ancient Rome.

Having dried fruits was essential in ancient Rome as these instructions for housekeepers around 100
BC tell: "She must keep a supply of cooked food on hand for you and the servants. She must keep
many hens and have plenty of eggs. She must have a large store of dried pears, sorbs, figs, raisins,
sorbs in must, preserved pears and grapes and quinces. She must also keep preserved grapes in

9
grape-pulp and in pots buried in the ground, as well as fresh Predestine nuts kept in the same way,
and Scandian quinces in jars, and other fruits that are usually preserved, as well as wild fruits. All
these she must store away diligently every year. Figs were also extremely popular in Rome. Dried
figs were added to bread and formed a major part of the winter food of country people. They were
rubbed with spices such as cumin, anise and fennel seeds, or toasted sesame, wrapped in fig leaves
and stored in jars. Today, major producing regions include Israel, Jerusalem, Gaza and many other
Arabic countries.

10
DAY 1

EXPORT
An export in international trade is a good produced in one country that is sold into another country
or a service provided in one country for a national or resident of another country.

Trade Agreement:

The contract of sale that includes the terms of delivery, the price and other details of the transaction is
signed.

Documentary Instructions:

The buyer must determine what international documentation is required for the import.

Order Manufacturing and Packaging:

This step depends to a large extent on each sector and particular case. Normally, once both parties
have concluded the agreement, the seller proceeds to the manufacturing of the product, and its
packaging and labelling according to the terms of the contract and the requirements of the country of
destination.

11
Freight Forwarder Selection:

The exporter or importer appoints a freight forwarder to take care of the international logistics. In the
case of maritime transport, the booking of the container and the ship must be made.

Domestic Transport:

This is the part of the itinerary that takes place in the same country in which the selling company
operates. Normally, land transport is used to take the goods to the marine or airport terminal, from
where they leave for their international destination.

International Transport:

This is the part of the itinerary that takes place outside the borders in which the selling company
operates. It goes from the stowage of the goods on the international means of transport to their arrival
at the international destination.

Order Delivery:

The process is completed when the transport company, operating at the corresponding destination,
collects the goods at the terminal and takes them to the delivery point agreed with the importer.

12
SKILL GAINED
I acquired the process of documentation trade agreement and delivery of export.

DAY 2

Import

An import is the receiving country in an export from the sending country. Importation and
exportation are the defining financial transactions of international trade. In international trade, the
importation and exportation of goods are limited by import quotas and mandates from the customs
authority.

Trade Enquiry: The importing company should first gather information about the countries
and companies that export the given product. The importer is able to collect such data from trade
directories and/or trade associations as well as organizations.

Procurement of Import License:

Certain goods can be imported freely, while others require licensing. The importer must consult
the current Export-Import (EXIM) policy to determine whether the goods he or she intends to
import require import licensing. If goods can only be imported with a license, the importer must
obtain an import license.

13
Obtaining Foreign Exchange:
The supplier in an import transaction requests payment in a foreign currency because they are
based overseas. Indian currency must be converted into foreign currency in order to make a
payment in another currency. The Reserve Bank of India’s Exchange Control Department
oversees all foreign exchange transactions in India (RBI).

Placing Order or Indent:

The importer places an import order or indents with the exporter for the supply of the specified
products after obtaining the import license. The import order includes details about the cost, size,
grade, and quality of the goods ordered, as well as packing, shipping, ports of departure and
arrival, delivery schedule, insurance, and payment method instructions.

Obtaining a Letter of Credit:

If a letter of credit is the preferred method of payment between the importer and the overseas
supplier, the importer must obtain one from its bank and send it to the supplier. A letter of credit,
as previously mentioned, is a guarantee made by the bank of the importer that it will honor
payment of export bills to the bank of the exporter up to a certain amount.

Arrangement of Finance: Prior to the arrival of the goods at the port, the importer should
make arrangements to pay the exporter. To avoid grossly overpaying demurrages (fines) on
imported goods that are lying uncleared at the port due to lack of payments, advanced planning
for financing imports is required.

Goods Arrival: The international supplier ships the goods in accordance with the agreement.
The person in charge of the carrier, whether it be a ship or an airline, notifies the person in charge
at the dock or the airport of the arrival of goods in the importing country. The import general
manifest document is presented by him. The specific details of the imported goods are listed in an
import general manifest document. It is a document that the unloading of cargo is based.

Custom Clearance: After they cross Indian borders, all imported goods are required to go
through customs clearance. A number of formalities must be completed in the somewhat time-

14
consuming process of customs clearance. It is suggested that importers appoint C&F agents who
are familiar with such formalities and play a crucial role in getting the goods cleared through
customs

SKILLS GAINED

On this day I acquired all the activities undertaken in import department.

DAY 3

PURCHASING

Purchasing is a systematic and organized process of acquisition of goods and services on behalf of
the buying entity.

Needs analysis.

What resources does the company require to carry out its activity over a specific period of time, it’s
important to establish the number of materials, supplies, and services necessary for manufacturing or
selling a product.

Purchasing.

Through this transaction, you’ll obtain the appropriate quantities of the resources and services
required at the lowest possible cost. It’s essential to choose a supplier that ensures, in addition to a
competitive price, the agreed-upon quality and delivery dates. Here, lead time is a decisive factor.

Goods receipt and storage.

The resources arrive at the docking area and are housed on the racks until they are needed at the
production lines. Finished goods are also stored once they leave the production center.

Supply and dispatch.

It’s necessary to feed the production plant with the resources required to guarantee uninterrupted
activity. At the same time, the goods that will supply another warehouse or brick-and-mortar store
have to be dispatched. At this point, efficiency is especially important.

15
Inventory management.

Proficient stock management directly affects the through put of all the operation.

I learnt various process of purchasing, acquisition of goods and services on behalf of the buying
entity.
DAY 4

LOGISTIS
Logistics is a part of supply chain management that deals with the efficient forward and reverse
flow of goods, services, and related information from the point of origin to the point of consumption
according to the needs of customers.

Logistics management is a component that holds the supply chain together. The resources managed
in logistics may include tangible goods such as materials, equipment, and supplies, as well as food
and other consumable items.

Road Transportation

There are many advantages to road transportation, especially for companies who rely on fast
delivery to retain their customers. If goods are meant to be transported immediately to the
Maritimes from Mississauga, for example, your best bet would be ground shipping transportation.
Water transport is notoriously slow, and it can be a hassle to book railway transportation.

Railway Transportation

Railway transportation is arguably the most dependable method of transport to the Maritimes
from Toronto and pretty much anywhere else. Unlike road and marine transport, rail is hardly
affected by weather conditions. Transport trains will run in rain, fog, snow, and other conditions
that would otherwise delay shipments carried by other methods. With fixed schedules that run
regularly, railway service is more certain compared to other methods of shipment.

17
 Marine Transportation

Marine transportation is notoriously slow, but that doesn’t matter when a product has a long lead
time. This is a great option for those looking to ship bulky items that aren’t in much of a rush. Often

cheaper than road transport, ships are usually the main cost that you’ll incur—you won’t have to
worry about road tolls and other similar charges. While roadway transportation can easily be delayed
by rain or other types of inclement weather, the same conditions may not affect marine transport.

Air Transport

Air transport is extremely useful for many reasons: it`s convenient, fast, and doesn’t have to
compete with natural barriers.

While road transport is the quickest way to deliver goods that only have a short distance to travel,
air transportation is the fastest option for freight that have a further destination—it’s even
regarded as the best mode of transportation for perishable goods for this reason.

In addition, air transportation doesn’t require the infrastructure investment that railways do;
airplanes fly freely, which means you don’t need to spend the initial cash building a pathway to
your destination for it to get there! The lack of barriers also means that it’s accessible to all areas,
regardless the obstruction of land.

However, one main disadvantage is that planes can easily be affected by pretty much any type of
inclement weather. Whether it’s rain, snow, or high winds, your shipment is likely to get delayed if
any weather condition becomes extreme.

18
SKILLS GAINED

I Learnt various modes of transporations for logistics and its process.

DAY 5

DOCUMENTATION

The Import Export Code is a primary document necessary for commencing Import-export activities.
The IE code is to be obtained for exporting or importing goods or services. IEC has numerous
benefits for the growth of the business. Indeed, you cannot ignore the necessity of IE code
registration, as it is mandatory. You can apply for an Import Export code through India Filings
and obtain it within 6 to 7 days.

 Commercial invoice.

 Dock receipt.

 Bill of lading.

 Certificate of origin.

 Warehouse receipt.

 Inspection certificate.

 Export license.

 Packing list.

19
  Shipping bill

SKILLS GAINED

On this day I acquired the activites undertaken in documentation and learnt what are documents to
process import & export.

DAY 6

TRANSSHIPMENT

Transshipment, trans-shipment or transshipment is the shipment of goods or containers to an

intermediate destination, then to another destination.

One possible reason for transshipment is to change the means of transport during the journey (e.g.,
from ship transport to road transport), known as transloading. Another reason is to combine small
shipments into a large shipment (consolidation), or the opposite: dividing a large shipment into
smaller shipments (deconsolidation).

Transshipment usually takes place in transport hubs. Much international transshipment also takes
place in designated customs areas, thus avoiding the need for customs checks or duties, otherwise a
major hindrance for efficient transport.

An item handled (from the shipper's point of view) as a single movement is not generally
considered transshipped, even if it changes from one mode of transport to another at several points.
Previously, it was often not distinguished from transloading, since each leg of such a trip was
typically handled by a different shipper.

Transshipment is normally fully legal and an everyday part of world trade. However, it can also be
a method used to disguise intent, as is the case with illegal logging, smuggling, or grey- market
goods.

20
SKILLS GAINED

I Learnt shipment of goods to an intermediate destination, then to another destination.

DAY 7

WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT

Warehouse management encompasses the principles and processes involved in running the day-to-
day operations of a warehouse.

For example, warehouse management involves optimizing the use of warehouse space to maximize
inventory storage; making inventory easy for staff to find; ensuring adequate staffing; efficiently
fulfilling orders; and coordinating communication with suppliers and transportation companies so
materials arrive and orders ship on time.

DAY 8

TIME MANAGEMENT

Time management is more than just a buzzword when it comes to logistics. In fact, it's the lifeblood
that keeps operations running smoothly and efficiently. How you manage your time can impact
everything from profitability and customer satisfaction to the fluidity of your supply chain.

This article will delve into the world of logistics and supply chain management, unearthing
powerful strategies for time management that will help streamline your operations.

Understanding the chain is your first key to effective time management in logistics and
warehousing. Without a comprehensive understanding of all the elements in your operations, you
could easily find yourself lost in unexpected complications that take up too much time.

Begin by mapping out every step of your supply chain from start to finish. By visualizing the entire
chain, you can identify potential points of disruption and inefficiency right away.

Identifying and removing bottlenecks in your logistics operations is a crucial strategy for optimal
time management. A bottleneck occurs when a singular process slows down overall production,
creating a backlog. The key to managing this issue is detecting these points and taking action.

22
SKILL GAINED

I Understand that Time management is more than just a buzzword when it comes to logistics.

DAY 9

INVENTORY MANAGEMENT

Inventory management refers to the process of ordering, storing, using, and selling a company's
inventory. This includes the management of raw materials, components, and finished products, as
well as warehousing and processing of such items. There are different types of inventories
management, each with its pros and cons, depending on a company’s needs.

A company's inventory is one of its most valuable assets. In retail, manufacturing, food services,
and other inventory-intensive sectors, a company's inputs and finished products are the core of its
business.

Receive and inspect products

The first step in the inventory management process includes receiving your order from the supplier.
Getting this part right is crucial for the following steps to function as efficiently as possible. The first
thing that should be done after the order arrives it to inspect the products. It's important to check that
the quantity product code and serial code are all correct.

Sort and stock products

23
After inspecting the products, they must be properly stored in the warehouse and inputted into your
leave management system. At this stage it is a good idea to be strategic about how products are
stored. Warehouse slotting techniques such as organising products based on SKU and product type
can be beneficial. It is also important to minimise the distance to bestselling products by storing them
where they are most accessible.

Accept customer order

The next step in the inventory management process involves accepting customer orders. The orders
will typically go through a point-of-sale system (POS) which processes the orders and accepts
payments. The POS system will either have a built-in inventory management feature or be integrated
with an inventory management software that will enable the order details to be viewed by the
warehouse staff.

Fulfil package and ship order

Once a customer has placed an order the next step is to accurately and expediently fulfil package and
ship the order. If the second step in the process was optimised searching for and selecting the
products in the warehouse should be relatively straightforward. Some important aspects to consider
when packaging the product are the customer experience durability and sustainability. When shipping
the product be sure to send the customer a confirmation email with tracking information.

Reorder new stock

When reordering new stock it is crucial to ensure the timing of new orders and amount of goods are
correct. By leveraging the reorder point formula you can minimise the risk of
both stockouts and deadstock - two problems that negatively impact your bottom line. Certain
inventory management systems automate the process of reordering which saves time and prevents
any mistakes from human error.

24
SKILLS GAINED
I have learned about the activities undertaken in inventory control.
DAY 10
PLAYERS INVOLVED
CONSIGNOR

When goods are sent by the manufacturer or the producer to the buyer, the act is referred to as
consignment where the owners of the goods send the goods to their agents in another location. The
goods that are sent in this manner are referred to as consignment while the sender is called the
consignor.

A consignor is a person or a company that is responsible for initiating and organizing a shipment. A
consignor could be a seller or an exporter (who ships goods from one country to the other).

Depending on the seller, the process of shipment and the number of parties to the movement of goods
vary. When goods are ordered, the buyer’s information is sent to the consignor. On receiving the
order, the consignor chooses a carrier who then uses its carrier assets to move the goods from the
point of origin to the recipient or to the place of destination.

25
SKILLS GAINED

I learnt who is consignor and what are the functions of consignors.

DAY 11
CONSIGNEE

A consignee is only a receiver and not the owner of the goods. The Ownership is transferred only
when the consignee has paid the consignor, in full, for the goods. In most cases, a consignee is
only an agent receiving the goods from the consignor. It is important to remember that the person
who receives the goods in a consignment is always a consignee.

When transporting freight (by ocean, air, or land), there are two parties involved — one who is
shipping and the other who is receiving the freight. The recipient of the goods being transported is
referred to as the consignee.

26
The term is used in commercial invoices and contract of carriage documents to denote the party
receiving the freight. By extension, this also suggests that the ownership of the goods is transferred
to the consignee after customs clearance. Based on the specified Incoterms, they’re liable for paying
the import duties and taxes levied on the freight.

SKILLS GAINED
I understands who is consignee’s and what are the functions of consignees.

DAY 12

CHA (Customs House Agent)

Customs House Agent (CHA) is licensed to act as an agent for transaction of any business relating
to the entry or departure of conveyances or the import or export of goods at a customs station.

CHAs maintain detailed, itemized and up-to-date accounts. A CHA license may be temporary or
permanent.

The Indian context, a Customs House Agent (CHA) or a Customs Broker is a license holding
individual that helps exporters and importers with their shipments at the customs station. They act
as a liaison between their clients and the customs authorities and help their clients with all the
necessary documents for their cargo. CHAs ensure that the shipment passes through the customs
without any hassles and reaches the destination on time.

Inward and outward processing of vessels and carriages. This means that a customs broker can
undertake the clearance of conveyances, inwards and outwards entries of all the different types of
carriers like ships, railway trains, and aircraft.

27
SKILLS GAINED
On this day I acquired need of customs house agent and what are the functions of cha.
DAY 13
CUSTOMS

Customs is an authority or agency in a country responsible for collecting tariffs and for controlling
the flow of goods, including animals, transports, personal effects, and hazardous items, into and out
of a country. Traditionally, customs has been considered as the fiscal subject that charges customs
duties (i.e. tariffs) and other taxes on import and export. In recent decades, the views on the
functions of customs have considerably expanded and now covers three basic issues: taxation,
security, and trade facilitation.

Each country has its own laws and regulations for the import and export of goods into and out of a
country, enforced by their respective customs authorities; the import/export of some goods may be
restricted or forbidden entirely. A wide range of penalties are faced by those who break these laws.

28
SKILLS GAINED

I understand about the customs roles and responsibilities.

DAY 14

POLICIES

Export Import Policy, or Exim Policy, is a collection of guidelines and instructions governing the
import and export of products. Section 5 of the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation Act) of
1992 gives the Indian government the authority to announce its Exim Policy for five years. Each
year on March 31, import and export policies in India have amendments, enhancements, and new
programs take effect on April 1.

In collaboration with the Directorate General of Foreign Trade, the Ministry of Finance, and its
network of regional offices, the Union Minister of Commerce and Industry announces any changes
or amendments to the Exim Policy.

 To increase India’s export and import growth.

29
  To stimulate long-term economic growth by increasing access to intermediates,
components, consumables, essential raw materials, and capital goods.

 To improve the competitiveness of the agriculture industry and services, create new
employment opportunities and encourage the attainment of internationally accepted quality
standards.

 To supply high-quality services and goods at an affordable cost. Canalization is a critical

component of Exim Policy, as it restricts the import of certain goods to designated agencies.
For example, only SBI and a few foreign banks or recognized organizations may import
gold in bulk.

SKILLS GAINED

I gained the knowledge about the Company policies.

DAY 15

UNIQUENESS OF 3J ENTERPRISES

Traditional dried fruit such as raisins, figs, dates, apricots and apples have been a staple of
Mediterranean diets for millennia. This is due partly to their early cultivation in the Middle Eastern
region known as the Fertile Crescent, made up by parts of modern Iran, Iraq, southwest Turkey,
Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and northern Egypt. Drying or dehydration also happened to be
the earliest form of food preservation: grapes, dates, and figs that fell from the tree or vine would
dry in the hot sun. Early hunter-gatherers observed that this fallen fruit took on an edible form and
valued them for their stability as well as their concentrated sweetness.

Having dried fruits was essential in ancient Rome as these instructions for housekeepers around 100

these she must store away diligently every year. Figs were also extremely popular in Rome. Dried
figs were added to bread and formed a major part of the winter food of country.

SKILLS GAINED
I learnt how unique 3J enterprises from the other organization in the industry.

DAY 16

CUSTOMER SERVICE

An important concept within logistics transportation systems operations is logistics customer

service. This concept is based on the overall scope of the supply chain. Traditionally it has been
difficult for components of the supply chain to define their role in the overall customer service
delivered to end-users.

However, the growing trend is for a larger awareness of “their role not only with reference to
trading partners but also to the end customer and at the point to the fact that logistics customer
service in the supply chain functions as communicating vessels” (Długosz, 2010).

This is difficult when you consider that companies within the supply chain serve a dual role. They
function as customers of the preceding entity within the supply chain then in turn serve as suppliers
for the next link in the supply chain.

31
This has resulted in companies planning strategically with the end-user in mind. “It is the end
customer who decides whether the creation and functioning of the entire supply chain are justified”.
The design of the supply chain is justified by customer sales.

SKILLS GAINED

I understand the activities underatken in Customer Service.
