Difficulties faced in doing international trade:

Price Volatility
The Company is exposed to price fluctuation in its business.
All major raw materials as well as finished goods being agro-
based are subject to market price variations. Prices of these
commodities continue to be linked to both domestic and
international prices, which in turn are dependent on various
Macro / Micro factors.
Prices of the finished products manufactured by your
company fluctuate widely due to a host of local and
international factors. Your Company continues to place a strong
emphasis on risk management and has successfully introduced
and adopted various measures for hedging the price
fluctuations in order to minimise its impact on profitability. Also,
the Company has initiated setting-up of a government
framework to upgrade itself to a robust risk management
system.
.
Freight & Port Infrastructure
As substantial part of the international operations of our
Company are within the Asian region, and given the following
import and export activities of the Company, the element of
freight is not likely to cause any adverse effect on the
operational performance. The Company has a pro-active
information and management system to address the issues
arising out of port congestion to the maximum extent possible
and has also made sufficient arrangements for storage
infrastructure at the ports.

Weather Conditions & Monsoon

The Company has processing facilities at major ports and
several inland locations and therefore, the business model of
the Company is designed to carry-on a majority of its
production operations in situations of extreme changes in
weather conditions.

Volatility in Foreign Currencies

The Company is exposed to risks arising out of volatility in
foreign currencies; the exposure on this account extends to:
a. Products imported for sale in domestic markets,
b. Products exported to other territories and
c. Foreign currency loans
The Company utilises the hedging instruments available in the
markets on an ongoing basis and manages the currency
exposures proactively
