MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS The management of Hit Kit Global Solutions Limited brsents the analysis of the performance of the company for the year 2014-15 and its outlook for the future. This outlook is based on an assessment of the current business environment. It may vary due to future economy and other developments both in India and Abroad. Although economy has been growing slowly including the retail sector, there were several complex challenges facing this sector. Despite of the challenges your company has remained resilient against adversities and has leveraged opportunities to deliver results. Outlook The air is full with optimism as we enter 2015. This is driven by change in government in 2014, which is working on pushing the economy to 8 per cent - 10 per cent trajectory. But accelerating growth from 5 per cent - 10 per cent requires significant investments. Among all emerging sectors - e-commerce, IT, healthcare, education and financial inclusion have been favorite sectors for investors in 2014. We believe that the next sector to watch out for is Food processing and Agribusiness In line with the evolution of global food demand, with the rising incomes in India, there is a shift from carbohydrate staples to protein including animal protein (milk, meat) and vegetable protein (pulses, soy) as well as towards more fibre, vitamins and minerals from sources such as fruits and vegetables. The per capita consumption of milk, fruits, vegetables and meat products are all rising at higher rates than those for cereals. This is also evident in consistent double digit food inflation for last few years now. Food inflation has become more of a systematic phenomenon as supply chain is not responding efficiently to the demand patterns. Food inflation has various dimensions. Though, it means higher price for the consumer, it also means more money in farmer's pocket. However, the intermediaries in the food supply chain in India have gained much more from inflation than the farmers themselves. Retail Business During the year under review, your Company strategically increased its focus on retail vegetable business thereby sustaining its earnings from Retail of vegetables, through the vegetable vendors. The sales turnover has been broad based, competitive and profitable. Your Company has adopted unique retailing strategy of selling its products in retail market, without permanently hiring the retail counters, thereby cutting down the cost of markets. As a marketing strategy, the Company has established the Vegetable Supply Chain From Vegetable Market To Vegetable Vendors in the forthcoming years. Strengths, Risks and Concerns Strengths Over few years in retail business, your Company has developed supply chain for retailing vegetables from farmer to whole seller to the consumers.
