39. In the poultry business, it’s all about timely delivery, quality, and ensuring good returns for all stakeholders on a consistent basis. And fame comes only to the rarest of rare. Two brothers from Tamil Nadu – Bangaruswami Soundararajan and Bangaruswami Sundararajan – have perfected a unique all-inclusive poultry business that runs on a contract farming model involving small and marginal farmers. Kick-started in 1978, their brainchild, Suguna Foods Ltd (formerly Suguna Poultry Farm Ltd), has been instrumental in changing the lives of thousands of small-time poultry farmers by giving them sufficient returns. The brothers, who are XIth and XIIth grade pass-outs, have turned Suguna Foods into a `5,000 crore business with presence across India. …show more content…
The company’s main clients are top QSR chains, big restaurants and hotels, modern retail outlets, and direct retail shops. In 2010, Suguna entered Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Today, it is eyeing the Southeast Asian and African markets. On the domestic front, Suguna Foods, which commands 18 per cent of the market share, expects future growth from newer markets such as Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, and Jharkhand.
58. “We are not producing in Kerala, but selling very well in Kerala,” says Soundararajan. “In the west, we are in Maharashtra and Gujarat. As far as sales are concerned, we will get into Madhya Pradesh soon. In the north, we have presence in Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Uttar Pradesh. In the east, we are operating in Orissa, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar, and Assam. India is an emerging market. We have around 30-35 per cent market share. Consumption is growing, and we are expecting 15 per cent growth this fiscal.”
59. Suguna Foods has an aggregated market share of over 80 per cent in 14 states. Compared to Tamil Nadu, Kerala is a better market as the sales at individual shops are quite high. About `6-8 lakh investment is required for setting up a franchise of Suguna Daily Fresh. The shop requires an area of 250-300 sq ft. The company runs around 400 franchisees across the country, with a majority of them located in Kerala (200) and Tamil
The three contingencies of Patel’s plan include changing the governing laws of agribusiness, improving the conditions of and supporting rural areas, and changing the role of eating in society. Before much progress can be made, the ways in which businesses are required to operate must change. Without any new legislations to stand in their way, nothing will alter the ways in which they operate or the ways they look to further solidify their dominance. Next, rural growers simply need more help. In current conditions, they barely scrape by due to the increasing demands from their purchasers and the decreasing amounts of compensation collected. Contrary to the original perception, crop subsidies, most associated with corn, provide no help to these smaller farmers. They can’t compete with the mass-growers and their enormous swathes of land. It drives the rural farmers out of those particular markets, and it often prevents them from growing crops their land is most suitable for. Finally, Pollan pushes the idea that there must be a revamp of the meaning of food to consumers. As it stands, people view eating as a task rather than an enjoyable experience. This leads the consumer to think little of the food, especially in ways Michael Pollan insist they must think about the food. This anti-cooking architecture of society is, nonetheless, a self-perpetuating cycle of

You all know that what people imagine in their head of a typical American is a overweight, lazy, couch potato who sits on the couch eating potato chips. But why is this. I'm about to show you good goods to eat and their benefits. First I'm going to show you some good food choices and there benefits. Then I'm going to show you the food choices of several different places in the USA, and the places they come from.
There is substantial evidence in the case to suggest that ODI should segment the market based on flock size of the farms and focus their marketing and sales strategy towards farms with more than 10,000 birds. As illustrated in Exhibit 4 of the case study, number of chicken farms with flock size less than 10,000 has vastly shrunk between 1964 and 1969.

The livestock farming business has implemented many changes and it has undergone an important renovation of how it operates in the past few years (Hribar Ca, 2013). The changes that the livestock farming has seen is that its production has changed from the smaller, family owned farms option to large farms that operate through corporate contracts (Hribar Ca, 2013). Today, most of the meat and dairy are produced in large single species farm building or open-air pens. Another change within the livestock farming business is that farms have become more efficient than previous decades (Hribar Ca, 2013). For example, since 1960, meat production has doubled, milk production has doubled, and

The key results could be underlined as: significant contribution to household income, gender Empowerment, alternate livelihoods at several points, food security and environmental converter of rubbish into food. The Govt of India, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, set up a committee headed by a senior technocrat from NABARD to study the rural poultry scenario with a view to include this sector in the venture capital fund of the department in the Tenth Five Year Plan. The study revealed that Kuroiler farming in the traditional style was being extensively practiced in villages with substantial benefits to rural stakeholders. NABARD presented bankable and venture capital funding for Kuroiler farming projects in rural areas In 2009, a joint venture of FAO and NDDB (SAPPLPP) studied the impact of the Keggfarms model of Kuroiler farming in rural India. Results indicated that very substantial benefits were accruing to rural stakeholders. (Kapur & Singh)
Brinda Patel’s manager Michael Lang had increased unit sales growth by 25% in Thailand by investing around 3% of sales to advertisement. Langs’s suggestion of opting the same strategy as that in Thailand will not suffice the purpose in India because of the huge demographic difference between the two countries.
McCain Foods Limited would have to face several risks when deciding to enter an international market. A significant issue in a foreign market is packaging, as different countries have different languages. McCain Foods have to focus on their packaging to be in the right language and also have to include accurate information required on the packaging to meet the country’s requirement. The other reason is that McCain has to concentrate on their advertising and marketing of fries in order to hold in the international market. When operating business in Asia, McCain would have to operate high moral standards. This means that McCain would have to change the way they operate the business and become accustom and act upon the moral principles present in the Asian market.
Over the past few decades, Americans have become far more conscious of the production process and nutritional value of the foods they consume. Founded in 1980 in Austin, Texas, Whole Foods Market is an international supermarket chain that specializes in organic foods and products. As early as 1984, Whole Foods began expanding across the South and, soon afterwards, expanded to major cities around the U.S. with new stores and strategic acquisitions. Although organic grocers and health stores existed prior to Whole Foods’ founding, founder and CEO John Mackey was the first to scale such a store to national—and later international—heights, with over 430 stores to date. Whole Foods’ position as the first market player, as well as its high
