Resource Based Manufacturing for IOI Corporation
This business segment is essentially the downstream of IOI palm value chain - that can be
further differentiated into 3 major categories: (1) refinery, (2) oleo-chemicals, and (3) specialty
fats. Crude palm and palm kernel oils from our upstream mills are channeled to our refineries
located at origin and at destination, where the refined oils are then sold externally and/or
channeled internally for further value-add processing in our oleo-chemicals and specialty fats
manufacturing facilities spread out in four major continents serving customers in more than 65
countries globally.
Linking these manufacturing operations would be our Supply Chain Support - covering global
sales and marketing, import & export activities, logistic planning and procurement, price risk and
foreign exchange risk management - to form an integrated global palm value chain, which offers
the following strategic advantages:
optimal turnaround time ensuring freshness of our products to customers
enable quality control of our products along the value chain
accords a high degree of traceability on our end products
provides a degree of natural hedge against upstream commodity price cycles

REFINERY
IOI have four large scale palm oil refineries with combined refining capacity of 3.8 million MT per
year located domestically at source and abroad.
IOI refineries are modern physical refining plants integrated with fractionation facilities. The
refining process converts crude oil to edible quality oil by removing impurities, odour, and non-
glycosides like free fatty acids and gums to produce Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Oil and
Palm Kernel Oil- which could then be subjected to first stage fractionation to produce Olein and
Stearine fractions.
Besides drawing upon competitiveness in process and energy efficiencies, we also have the
following accreditations.

OVERVIEW INDIA MARKET
Manufacturing sector accounts for nearly 16% of Indias Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The
governments National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council (NMCC) envisages increasing
the share of manufacturing to 25% of GDP by 2025. Indias manufacturing sector consists of a
number of industries which are engineering goods, automotive, oil and gas, chemicals, and
textiles that together make up roughly 50% of the sector.
The rising competitiveness of Indias manufacturing companies is reflected in the countrys
ranking as second in the world in terms of competitiveness as per the 2010 Global
Manufacturing Competiveness Index (GMCI) prepared by the US Council on Competitiveness
and Deloitte. This index factors in market dynamics and policy issues that influence the sector.
India is ahead of major developed and emerging economies such as the US, South Korea, Brazil
and Japan. Going forward, the nations competitiveness would increase further with its index
score set to improve to 9.01 (out of 10) in the next five years from the year 2010.
The demand for edible oils in India has shown a steady growth at 4.43% over the period from
2001 to 2011. The growth has been driven by improvement in per capita consumption, which in
turn is attributable to rising income levels and living standards. However, the current per capita
consumption levels of India (at 13.3 Kg/year for 2009-10) are lower than global averages (24kg/year).1 The Indian edible oils market continues to be underpenetrated and given the positive
macro and demographic fundamentals it has a favorable demand growth outlook over the
medium-to-long term. In terms of volumes, palm oil, soybean oil and mustard oil are the three
largest consumed edible oils in India, with respective shares of 46%, 16% and 14% in total oil
consumption in 2010. Given the high price consciousness and varied taste preferences of Indian
consumers, ICRA expects these three oils to continue to account for the bulk of edible oil
consumption in the country. There has been a significant gap between demand and supply of
edible oil because of limited availability of oil seeds and shifting of acreage to other crops in the
domestic market. This gap has been met through imports, which account for almost 45-50% of
the total oil consumption. In 2010, edible oil imports were observed to be the lowest in the last
three years in view of improvement in domestic oilseed production.

SWOT ANALYSIS
STRENGTH
a. IOI have four large scale palm oil refineries
IOI have four large scale palm oil refineries with combined refining capacity of 3.8 million MT per
year located domestically at source and abroad. IOIs refineries are modern physical refining
plants integrated with fractionation facilities. The refining process converts crude oil to edible
quality oil by removing impurities, odour, and non-glycerides like free fatty acids and gums to
produce Refined Bleached Deodorized Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil- which could then be
subjected to first stage fractionation to produce Olein and Stearine fractions.
b. One of the Most Efficient Palm Oil Producers
IOI is one of the most efficient palm oil producers, with yield per hectare of much higher than its
rivals in the year 200828.54 per mature hectare (tonne) compared to Sime Darbys 21.7 and
Bousteads 17.5 (Oh, 2009). This strength stems from IOIs belief that the most efficient
business model can be a very effective environmental model. Based on this model, IOI

strategizes to maximize outputs from their plantations and factories while minimizing the inputs
required using an efficient and effective plantation management program. The efficient use of
land translates into lower fertilizer, pesticide and energy usage as well as benefits for the
environment.
c. High Cash Pile
As at end of 2008, IOI has amassed a high cash pile amounting to RM1.42billion (source: The
Star, 28 June 2008). High liquidity provides IOI the opportunity to progressively expand
plantation acreage. This expansion could be done by acquiring green fields, existing oil palm
plantations and distressed planters. As interest rate is also on the downtrend, IOI could
capitalize on the situation to look for leverage in its acquisition activities.
WEAKNESS
Financial Vulnerability
One of the few weaknesses of IOI is its financial vulnerability. As it operates in many countries
of the world and trades globally, it is subject to foreign exchange risk. Aside from that it also
faces risks such as interest rate risk, price fluctuation risk, credit risk, as well as liquidity and
cash flow risk. Although IOI operates within an established risk management framework with
clearly defined guidelines with are approved by the board, it still faces financial vulnerability due
to the highly unpredictable nature of business. In the last quarter of 2008, IOI has had a few bad
experiences in its financial dealings, reflecting its weakness in handling financial matters. Given
the current global economic situation, IOIs financial profile is not likely to improve in the
foreseeable future as the global economic woes will continue to pressure the property market
and palm oil prices.

OPPORTUNITY
a. Expand in new market such as India
Manufacturing holds a key position in the Indian economy, accounting for nearly 16 per cent of
real GDP in FY12 and employing about 12.0 per cent of Indias labor force. Growth in the sector
has been matching the strong pace in overall GDP growth over the past few years. For
example, while real GDP expanded at a CAGR of 8.4 per cent over FY05-FY12, growth in the
manufacturing sector was marginally higher at around 8.5 per cent over the same period.
Consequently, its share in the economy has marginally increased during this time to 15.4 per
cent from 15.3 per cent.
The rising competitiveness of Indias manufacturing companies is reflected in the countrys
ranking as second in the world in terms of competitiveness as per the 2010 Global
Manufacturing Competitiveness Index5 (GMCI) prepared by the US Council on
Competitiveness and Deloitte. This index factors in market dynamics and policy issues that
influence the sector. India is ahead of major developed and emerging economies such as
the US, South Korea, Brazil and Japan. Going forward, the nations competitiveness would
increase further with its index score set to improve to 9.01 (out of 10) in the next five years
from the 2010.

b. Strong Palm Oil Consumption Growth in India
The demand for edible oils in India has shown a steady growth at a CAGR of 4.43% over the
period from 2001 to 2011. The growth has been driven by improvement in per capita
consumption, which in turn is attributable to rising income levels and living standards. However,
the current per capita consumption levels of India (at 13.3 Kg/year for 2009-10) are lower than
global averages (24 kg/year).1 The Indian edible oils market continues to be underpenetrated
and given the positive macro and demographic fundamentals it has a favorable demand growth
outlook over the medium-to-long term.
In terms of volumes, palm oil, soya bean oil and mustard oil are the three largest consumed
edible oils in India, with respective shares of 46%, 16% and 14% in total oil consumption in
2010. Given the high price consciousness and varied taste preferences of Indian consumers,
ICRA expects these three oils to continue to account for the bulk of edible oil consumption in the
country.
c. Consumers shift towards cheaper oils
The domestic prices of various edible oils are largely correlated. Palm oil, being the cheapest
oil, impacts the price movement of other oils. Palm, soy and rapeseed (mustard) together
account for 73% of edible oil consumption in India, with palm oil accounting for 44% of total
consumption. Market share of soy & palm oils have gained significantly over the years, due to
increased access to imports. The strong growth of soy and palm oil consumption reflects Indian
consumers sensitivity to prices.
Non-packaged oils are estimated to account for nearly 50% of consumption in both urban and
rural markets. However, the development of the retail sector in India, backed by rising income
levels, has provided an opportunity to sell branded packs especially in the urban markets. The
branded segment is growing at 20% annually with sunflowers and soy oils leading the market.

THREAT
a. Dampening Economic Outlook
The dampening economic outlook has negative impacts for the oil palm industry as demand in
some regions plunges. This threat to the oil palm industry, sooner or later, is bound to have a
negative impact on IOI. The Star (22 Nov, 2008) quoted a source in the oil palm industry which
states that defaults on Malaysian and Indonesian palm oil contracts are estimated to involve 1.5
million tonnes of crude palm oil (CPO). This situation could lead to a deferment of palm oil
shipments and renegotiation of import deals especially with India and China.
b. Politics and government policy
It comprises political stability and the policies of the government. Ideological inclination of
political parties, personal interest on politicians, influence of party forums etc. create political
environment. For example, Bangalore established itself as the most important IT centre of India
mainly because of political support. In India many political factors those effect in business
environment. Political pressures in ruling government and vote bank problems. These are the
major factors those affect on political environment:-
These are related to the legal environment in which firms operate. In recent years in the India
There have been many significant legal changes that have affected firms' behavior. The
introduction of discrimination and disability discrimination legislation, an increase in the
minimum wage and greater requirements for firms to recycle are examples of relatively recent
laws that affect an organizations actions. Legal changes can affect a firm's costs and demand.
This consists of legislation that is passed by the parliament and state legislatures. Examples of
such legislation specifically aimed at business operations include the Trade mark Act 1969,
Essential Commodities Act 1955, Standards of Weights and Measures Act 1969 and Consumer
Protection Act 196. In India take many type of permission to the state government or central
government. In India many type of act like license permission, copyright permission, and many
types of other permission like employment law, trade and product restrictions, health and safety
regulations, EU and international laws, monopolies commission.

PORTER FIVE FORCES IOI INTERNATIONAL
Threat of substitute products or services
There are a lot of substitute products in the market such as olive oil, soybean oil, canola oil,
pumpkin seed oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, and so on. Although there are about 17 types of edible
oils and fats traded globally, palm oil remain the cheapest, is going for US$300 less than soya
oil, according to Credit Suisse. India is one of the world's leading producers of oil seeds and oil,
contributing to 9.3% of world oilseed production. It produces the largest number of commercial
varieties of oil seeds over nearly 28.4 million hectares of land. The major edible oils produced in
India are groundnut, rapeseed, Soya, cottonseed, sesame seed, castor seed, sunflower, and
safflower. Soybean is the third largest oilseed crop in India next to Groundnut & Mustard and
accounts for 25% of the total oilseeds produced in the country in a year. Soya oil contributes
about 10% of total vegetable oils produced in the country. India is the worlds second largest
producer of groundnut, next only to China. But groundnut being primarily a Kharif (monsoon)
crop is vulnerable to vagaries of monsoon and also speculative activities.

Bargaining power of supplier
Oil industry has small sub-suppliers from various industries, so bargaining power of suppliers is
low in India. In India there are lots of companies that involve in oil industry but there are still
produce limited amount of oil that needs by the consumers. So in order to fulfill the demand ofedible oil in India, they have to import some of the edible oil especially palm oil from others
country like Malaysia and Indonesia. This will give opportunity to IOI to make business in India
by joint venture with one of the company in India that is producing the palm oil in order to
expand their business in India.
High bargain power of buyers
The demand for edible oils in India has shown a compounded growth of 4.5% over the last 10
years and is estimated at 16.2 million tonnes for Oil Year (OY) 2010-11. India plays an
important role in the global edible oil market, accounting for approx. 10.2% share of
consumption; 7% share of oilseed production; 5% share of edible oil production and 13.6% share
of world edible oil imports for OY 2009-10. As per USDA estimates, India is the third largest
consumer of edible oils (after China and the EU-27 countries); and will account for 11% of
global edible oil demand and 16% of global imports in OY 2011/12F. Indias annual per capita
consumption has shown a steadily increasing trend from 4 kg in the 1970s to 10.2 kg in the late
1990s to current levels of ~13.5 - 14 kg. However, it still ranks well below the world average of
around 24 kg (per capita figures including consumption of bio-energy), thereby signifying the
high growth potential of the industry. Refer Charts 1 and 2 for trend in domestic demand and per
capita consumption of edible oils in India.
Threat of Entry
The threat of new entry is the possibility of new firms that will enter the industry. New entrants
bring a desire to gain market share and often have significant resources. Their presence may
force prices down and put pressure on profits. Even if a firm has not yet entered an industry, the
potential for it to do so place pressure on prices, since high prices and profit margins will
encourage entry by new competitors. Thus, barriers to entry can be a key determinant of industry
profitability.
-
7/31/2019 International INDIA
15/25
Barriers to entry are the costs and legal requirements needed to enter a market. In India there are
rules and regulation that foreign companies have to follow in order to enter the market in India.
These barriers are able to protect the companies that are already in business by being a hurdle to
those trying to enter the market. In addition, a new competitor may inspire established companies
to react with tactics to deter entry, such as lowering prices or forming partnerships. The chance
of reaction is high in markets where firms have a history of retaliation, excess cash, are
committed to the industry or the industry has slow growth.
The threat of new entrants is greatest when processes are not protected by regulations or patents,
customers have little brand loyalty, start-up costs are low for new businesses entering the
industry, the products provided are not unique, switching costs are low, the production process is
easily learned, access to inputs is easy, access to customers is easy as well as economies of scale
are minimal.
Rivalry between competitors
Rivalry among competitors is often the strongest of the five competitive forces, but can vary
widely among industries. If the competitive force is weak, companies may be able to raise prices,
provide fewer products for the price, and earn more profits. If competition is intense, it may be
necessary to enhance product offerings to keep customers, and prices may fall below break-even
levels.
However, in India there are limited numbers of companies involve in this industry because they
are limited of resources in palm oil. Foreign and private companies start to enter their market and
want to penetrate the market.

Production Process
Oils are one of the main ingredients of the worlds mostly cooked recipes. They enhance the taste
due to which the overall experience of the meal becomes memorable forever. Needless to say,
these oils have become an integral part as a cooking medium in all the cuisines. However, any
natural or manmade ingredient is infused with good and bad elements that are to be taken care in
right level and right time. Oils too come with both the elements. To get rid of unwanted
ingredients and make it fit for human consumption, oils are treated in state of art ultra modern
fully automatic plants into various intensified steps.
The process of refining (sometimes referred to as "alkali refining") generally is performed on
vegetable oils to reduce the free fatty acid content and to remove other gross impurities such as
phosphatides, proteinaceous, and mucilaginous substances. By far, the most important and
widespread method of refining is the treatment of the fat or oil with an alkali solution. This
results in a large reduction of free fatty acids through their conversion into water-soluble soaps.
After alkali refining, the fat or oil is water-washed to remove residual soap.
The two brands Gokul and Zaika encompass healthy cooking oil ranges full of flavor and quality.
GRSL produces a range of refined cooking oils Palm Oil, Soya Bean Oil, Ground Nut Oil,
Sunflower Oil, Mustard Oil, Cotton Seed Oil and Vanaspati Ghee catering to different categories
of customers. Extensive market research on consumer taste preferences and consumer friendly
