1. INDUSTRY PROFILE
WORLD SCENARIO
In 1995, world imports in fruit juices and concentrates reached $
5,748 million, having fluctuated heavily in recent years, though it should be
noted that world trade has increased very considerably over the last two
decades. By far the largest share of world trade in fruit juices consists of citrus
juices (mainly orange) and temperate-zone fruit juices, e.g. apple juice, where
as tropical fruit juices and concentrates accounted for the balance (about 5%).
These figures do not include trade in pulp/puree. Pineapple juice (mainly
concentrate) is by far the most important tropical fruit juice. In 1995, world
imports amounted to $ 280 million, while they fluctuated enormously since
1990 and peaked at $ 383 million in 1991. The fluctuations were caused by
great variations in supply rather than demand factors, though there has been a
considerable increase in world trade in pineapple juice over the last decade.
Imports into the five largest markets, i.e. the United States, the Netherlands,
Italy, France and Spain, amounted to $ 191 million in 1995 or 68% of world
12
![Page 13: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58f0bf531a28ab3f278b45af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
imports. The three largest producers of pineapple juice/concentrate, Thailand,
the Philippines and Kenya, together account for over half of total world
exports. Other important suppliers are Indonesia, Costa Rica, the United States
and South Africa. Again it should be noted that world trade includes a very
large amount of re-exports (mainly from the Netherlands). With the exception
of pineapple, there are no reliable statistics on world trade in tropical fruit
juices, concentrates and pulp/puree. However, based on information from trade
sources and fragments of trade statistics, annual world trade in these products
(excluding pineapple) can be estimated in the range of 175,000 to 200,000 tons
in single strength equivalent, valued at between $175 and $225 million. The
three most important tropical fruits, apart from pineapple, are banana, passion
fruit and mango. The major markets are the European Union and the United
States. Though world trade in fruit juices (tropical and non-tropical) has
fluctuated considerably, in value terms, during recent years, most major
markets have increased in volume terms during the same period. In general, the
world market for fruit juices is expected to show further growth in the future,
inter alia, because of a low per capita consumption in many markets and a
growing health consciousness in most markets. Considering more specifically
tropical fruit juices, concentrates and pulp/puree, traders generally expect sales
of these products to grow at least at the same rate as the juice market as a
whole, and in some cases even more. Again the fruit juice business and related
food industries are expected to benefit from the general interest in tropical fruit,
including fresh produce, in most markets .The major markets in the European
Union and the United States are expected to remain the most important outlets
for tropical fruit juices, concentrates and pulp/puree, whereas, for example,
Japan and the Republic of Korea are less interesting markets for this product
group. On the other hand there is a growing market in Singapore and some
other markets in Asia and Latin America, including some of the traditional
exporting countries.

![Page 14: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58f0bf531a28ab3f278b45af/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
INDIAN SCENARIO
Traditionally, the Indian life style has a predilection for fresh fruits and
vegetables or those processed at home. There is a sea change. People, are now
increasingly going in for fresh fruit vending from kiosk fountains, which
produce instant juices from fresh fruits in the presence of the consumer. It
could be due to the non-availability of hygienically produced and well-
preserved products with the use of preservatives. That is why some of the real
but branded fruit juices launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s did not
succeed.
There has been a steady rise in the capacity, production and capacity
utilization in the fruit processing units. The processing capacity had gone up
from 0.9 tonnes in 1990-91 to 2.1 tonnes in 1999-00. The capacity utilization
improved from 31% to 47%, with the production in 1999-00 estimated to have
increased to 980,000 tonnes. The official reports do not show any substantial
increase in total output although branded drinks do show a healthy
improvement. There is no general acceptance of the product forms in the fruit
14
![Page 15: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58f0bf531a28ab3f278b45af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
drinks market. The consumer is basically concerned that it is a fruit juice and
not a synthetically constituted product. Accordingly, the first segmentation is
between real fruit drinks and synthetic drinks. The former are based on natural
fruit pulp or juice. The others are synthetic products containing fruit flavors.
Among the fruit juice beverages are fruit juices (Pepsi's Tropicana), nectars
(Dauber's Real) and fruit drinks (Frooti and Slice). All these are real,
reconstituted from fruit pulps or concentrates. The leading fruit juice brands
include Real, Onjus, Tropicana, Frooti, Jumpin. The fruit drinks are mainly
based on oranges, mangoes, pineapples, grapes, apples, guava and tomato.
They only differ in pulp content: the juices have over 85%, nectars (20% to
85%) and fruit drinks (less than 20%)
The branded fruit juices market inclusive of nectars is placed at about Rs
10 bn. The pure fruit juices are the preferred drink among the fruit drinks. This
segment is growing at around 10% annually. The market for fruit juices is
expected to grow to Rs. 7.50 bn by end 2009-10 from nearly Rs. 4.75 bn
presently, per capita of juices in India is very low. It is estimated at a fraction
of a litre - 20 ml. China has attained a consumption level of 1500 ml. The
consumption in India is basically an urban phenomenon. Nonetheless, it is
gaining slow but steady penetration into the rural areas.
The early development of juice processing was led by co-operatives and
other processors in the fruit-rich states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. The
canned juice segment covered brands like NAFED, Noga, Midland, Gold Coin
and Druk. These were fruit juices or nectars - not drinks. These did not make a
mark in the market for whatever reasons: high price, unattractive packaging,
and lack of right promotion program. A bulk of juice consumption came from
institutional commercial buyers. There was a sizeable export of mango pulp. It
is now getting into the retail marketing basically as a fun food, often as a
substitute for aerated and cola drinks.
15
![Page 16: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58f0bf531a28ab3f278b45af/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
In the area of packaging, Tetra-Pak India, a part of the $ 10 bn Tetra
Laval group, has become the major source of brick cartons amenable to aseptic
packaging and imparting long product shelf life to the foods. Tins, nonetheless
still continue to be in the market in family size packings. A perceptible change
came in 1996 with the introduction of Real juice in aseptic cartons from Dabur
Foods. Packaged in tabletop packs from Elopak, Norway, the juices were
claimed to have a six-month shelf life. Real fruit juice is the first brand in Asia
to use the latest Spin Technology developed by TetraPack. It is available in five
flavours - orange, mango, pineapple, mixed fruit and tomato. It also plans to
export Real to South East Asia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
EnkayTexofood Industries entered the market with what is claimed as
100% natural orange juice in India with Onjus brand. Enkay happens to be the
largest Indian exporter of fruit juices, pulp and concentrates to Europe and
North America, with clients such as Unilever, Coke, Pepsi and Nestle.
The company's plants near Vapi in Gujarat have been producing daily
80,000 packs of 250 ml and 70,000 packs of one litre of Onjus. By the end of
1999, Onjus had captured at a point of time third of the juice market.
Until the advent of Tropicana, Real remained a premium product. Dabur
Foods marketing strategy paid off until Onjus was sold at almost half the Real's
price and claimed to be a 100% natural drink. Tropicana Product, a division of
PepsiCo, entered the Indian market. For the Indian markets, Tropicana
developed a sweeter blend of orange and white grape. Tropicana was planning
to enhance its market share in the fruit juice market and to increase its turnover
to Rs 1000 mn by 2002-03. PepsiCo International is planning to make India a
regional sourcing hub for fruit juice concentrates and pulp. Pepsi Foods is
already exporting nearly 20,000 tonnes of mango pulp and concentrate mainly
to West Asia and Europe. It has launched a new mango juice and was to
introduce guava and litchi variants.
16
![Page 17: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022070519/58f0bf531a28ab3f278b45af/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The segment has been witnessing some feverish developments. Pepsi
was exploring the launch of a new brand in the segment the first international
juice brand in the category launched in India. It had already decided to launch
other flavours of Maaza and beverages like iced tea and coffee. It is planning to
repack its five-flavour offering for the Indian consumer. The company stopped
the production of the 250 ml pack. The new flavour - sweet orange - was being
targeted at customers who were not used to the regular orange flavoured juice,
which Tropicana sells worldwide. While Tropicana came up with mixed fruits,
Pepsi ventured into slice mango juice in Tetrapak along Tropicana. Tropicana
also explored the possibility of local production of juices from mango. It
planned to source raw processed fruits, such as apples from Himachal Pradesh,
grapes from Sholapur and tomatoes from Punjab.
COMPANY PROFILE
Nadukkara Agro processing Company has been promoted by the Kerala
Horticulture Development Programme (KHDP), Under the Kerala Horticulture
Development Programme, a modern fruit processing factory for the
commercial processing of pineapple, mango and other fruits was established in
the heart of Kerala's Pineapple growing area Nadukkara, near Muvattupuzha in
the year 2000 at a cost of Rs.21.5 cores. NAPCL was established as a public
limited company with 582 farmers holding 70% share and the Government of
Kerala 30% share. The plant has a state of the art technology and the latest

Capacity utilization is much more efficient as the factory also processes
mangoes during off-season of pineapple. NAPCL also provides for contract
processing to other processors in the private sector. The company procures
pineapple from the market when the price goes below a threshold level so as to
maintain a reasonably good market price. The company has 92 employees and
provides employment to another 150 indirectly. NAPCL organizes trainings
and seminars for farmers for the popularization of pineapple and promotes
MD2 pineapple variety for cultivation to meet the challenges of global
competition in the WTO regime. The company has also taken initiative for
getting GI indication registered for Vazhakulam Pineapple. NAPCL has
recently commissioned an 'integrated pack home for export of fresh pineapple'
with facility for pre-cooling, packing, branding and certificate labeling having a
capacity of 700 t/day at a cost of Rs.3.7 crores fully funded by APEDA. It has
recorded a growth rate of 500% during the last 5 years. NAPCL has supply of
fresh pineapples comes mainly from the TARGETED FARMERS (The 70%
shareholders of the company) within the surrounding 21 ‘panchayath’ of the
company. The company provides consultation on crop planning and farming
methods to the farmers. So the farmers can using latest methodologies in
farming. The company's agriculture experts visit the farmers to give proper
