Chamomile essential oils, used extensively in flavoring, fragrance and aroma therapy. 2. Spikenard essential oils, used extensively in herbal medicines, fragrance and aroma therapy. Product diversification will be made as and when good market opportunity arises.

MARKET ANALYSIS The value of world import of essential oils in 2008 stood at around USD 29 billion, an increment of 13.45% from 2007 and 30.28% from 2006. The world leading importing country was the USA followed by France, UK and Germany. Parbat Redolence will therefore focus on these markets as they are mature markets with quality consciousness and growing demands. Parbat Redolence will also focus on Norway as it is a growing market with about 35% increment in values of Page iv

11.12.2009

import in 2008 from that in 2006. Its clients will be existing importers and aromatherapy practitioners with focus on building good networks with the practitioners to exploit the market further.

MARKETING AND SALES Marketing will be carried out through postings on reputed online B2B business portals like www.alibaba.com, networking and interacting with aroma therapy practitioners’ associations and essential oils traders associations, and participating in different international expositions and trade shows. Personal contacts will also be made with leading aroma therapists and alternative medicine parctitioners through e-mail, telephone and visits.

Mr. Siraj Pyakurel, an affiliate of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), UK will handle financial operations. Mr. Swagat R. Pyakurel with his technical expertise will be responsible for processing, administration and customer support.

FINANCIAL SYNOPSIS FINANCIAL REQUIRMENT Parbat Redolence Limited will require an initial investment of USD 1.1 million in its first year of operations, of which about USD 422,000 will be capital expenditure and USD 739,000 will be working capital requirement. 40% of the initial investment will be raised through equity investment by the directors and the remaining 60% will be through bank finance via soft loan.

PROSPECTIVE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE Promoting cultivation in four community forests, two each for chamomile and spikenard in the first year of operations, the expected sales is estimated to be USD 1.08 million and a operating loss of USD 79,000. The estimated sales for the second year of operations is expected to be around USD 2.05 millions as the cultivation will be expanded to four other community forests, two each for chamomile and spikenard. The net after tax income for this period is estimated to be USD 497,000. In the fifth year of operations, the estimated sales will be around USD 8.3 millions with around USD 3.3 millions in net after tax income. 3,500,000 3,000,000 2,500,000

RISK ASSESSMENT & CONTINGENCY PLAN The risk is assessed to arise mainly from financial slowdown, in which case the market tends to lower consumption of such products. However, as evident from the rise in import by 13.5% from 2007 to 2008 instead of the financial crisis, a devastating effect is unlikely.

Parbat Redolence will however divert a small portion of its production to the market in India to maintain contact with the Indian market which, although not as profitable as the targeted markets, is a huge and stable market.

1.1. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Parbat Redolence Limited will promote cultivation of herbs and extract essential oil in the community forests of eastern region of Nepal. It will operate in two districts, namely Taplejung in the upper hills and Jhapa in the plains. Initially it will concentrate on Spikenard (Jatamansi) in Taplejung and German Chamomile in Jhapa.

Parbat Redolence Limited will be an ISO 9001:2008 certified and USDA organic certified company.

1.1.1. MAJOR

DEMOGRAPHIC,

ECONOMIC,

SOCIAL

AND

CULTURAL FACTORS Parbat Redolence Limited’s products fit well into overall current social and economic trends. The targeted market is growing rapidly with increasing concentration on quality of products. Parbat Redolence will be able to provide high quality essential oils because of its strict adherence to international standards (ISO 9001:2008, USDA organic) and at a good price because of its low cost of production. It will be fairly easy to acquire the organic certification as the herbs will be cultivated on the community forest’s land which has never been cultivated before.

It will start with two community forests in Taplejung with combined holding of 227.7 acres of land and two Forest User Groups in Jhapa with a combined land holding of 666.11 acres. The reason for choosing Taplejung is that Spikenard grows in the wild here which reduces the risk of environment and soil Page 1

Term Paper (Business Plan), GRA 3136 New Venture Creation

11.12.2009

incompatibility. The total area occupied by the community forests in Taplejung alone is 4,472.10 acres. The reason for choosing Jhapa is its compatibility to German Chamomile farming and good road connectivity. The total area covered by community forests in Jhapa is 7,685.48 acres. So, there is great possibility for expansion and diversification.

There is good possibility of product diversification as Taplejung is also suited for Rosemary and Lavender cultivation. Jhapa has good potential for mentha and french basil. Since Chamomile is a seasonal crop, the same fields can be used for farming of mentha and french basil. And also perennial crops like lemon-grass and palma rosa can be cultivated in Jhapa.

Parbat Redolence will collaborate with the Community Forest Users Groups (CFUGs) of Nepal and promote farming of essential oil yielding plants in the community forests. The plants will be processed at the processing facility of Parbat Redolence Limited and the farmers will be paid a fair price depending on the oil yield of their produce. This will improve the living standards of the community. Parbat Redolence will also share a portion of its profits with the CFUGs for carrying out social development programs beneficial to the community. Using the community forest’s land for herbs cultivation ensures low cost to the farmers (community) and hence low product cost for Parbat Redolence Limited. The cultivation will cover only 40% (maximum) of the community forest area and thus will play a positive role in its conservation (financial incentive for the community to protect the forest and clearing unfavorable vegetation growth).

1.1.2.

MAJOR PLAYERS (suppliers, distributors, clients)

The processing unit will be procured from an internationally reputed ISO certified manufacturer in India. The lab equipments will be procured from a world renowned Australian company. The packaging containers will be procured from an ISO certified company in India.

11.12.2009

Impoters from the targeted markets will initially distribute the products. Within two years, Parbat Redolence’s international office, in coordination with aroma therapy practitioners and the importers will be the main distributors. Parbat Redolence’s initial clients’ base will be dominated by existing importers and distributors in the target market. Within two years, the clients’ base will include at least an equal percentage of aroma therapy practitioners and home users.

1.1.3.

NATURE OF THE INDUSTRY

Essential oils use is not a modern phenomena but it has gained much impetus now. They are being extensively used as flavoring agents, fragrance in the modern industries, constituent of herbal medicines, and in aroma therapy. However, the sector is very much fragmented with many small producers and very little sharing of trade data.

1.1.4.

TRENDS IN THE INDUSTRY

The essential oils market is a rapidly growing market with increasing world trade. Some countries are now using aromatherapy as a complimentary therapy to the modern medicine. So, the demand for high quality essential oils is on the rise worldwide.

1.1.5.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS

The government of Nepal has announced encouraging measures to promote local industries by removing restrictive regulation hassles that previously existed. The government has passed legislation allowing only herbs cultivation in the community forests, duty free export of extracted essential oils, soft loans for industries working in the sector. At the same time, the government has banned the export of raw and dried spikenard.

1.2. THE MARKET 1.2.1. MARKET SEGMENT The flavoring, fragrance, herbal medicine industries, and the aroma therapy sector constitute the major market segments for the essential oils to be produced by Parbat Redolence Limited. From medicines to dog biscuits and child care to deodorants, herbal essential oils are being used in a wide variety of consumer products.

1.2.2. PRODUCTS & SERVICES Parbat Redolence Limited will produce high quality organic essential oils adhering to strict high quality norms, focusing initially on two products: 1. Chamomile essential oils: Chamomile essential oil is used extensively in flavoring, fragrance and aroma therapy. The products having chamomile essential oil range from balm (organic babies balm etc.) to tea (Yogi Chamomile tea, Twinings Chamomile tea etc.) to dog biscuits (Bark Wheats).

2. Spikenard essential oils: Spikenard essential oil is used in herbal medicines (Himalaya Herbal Healthcare Limited, Novartis Consumer Health Limited), fragrance and aroma therapy. The sales of herbal medicines over the counter in Europe stood at USD 4.96 Billion in 2003. The sales distribution is as shown below.

Fig 1.1: Sales of over-the-counter herbal medicines in Europe (in USD) Product diversification will be made as and when good market opportunity arises. Page 4

Parbat Redolence will therefore focus on these markets as they are mature markets with quality consciousness and growing demands. Parbat Redolence will also focus on Norway as it is a growing market with about 35% increment in values of import in 2008 from that in 2006.

Its clients will be existing importers and aromatherapy practitioners with focus on building good networks with the practitioners to exploit the market further.

1.2.4. IMPLICATIONS OR RISK FACTORS Parbat Redolence will rely heavily on sales to the Europena and American markets. So, there might be a situation of plummeting sales owing to extreme financial conditions or some unexpected situations. But, there is very less chance of complete annihilation of the market as evident of the increase in the trade value of essential oils from 2006 to 2008 inspite of the financial crisis starting at 2007.

1.2.5. PLANNED RESPONSE Parbat Redolence will rely on its basic strengths, which are: 

superior quality products



affordable prices compared to competitors



excellent service



strategic location

Parbat Redolence will establish and maintain contact with the Indian market by exporting a small portion of its production to India. This will provide an alternative and secure market for Parbat Redolence’s product. Although not as profitable as the targeted markets, India is a huge and stable market.

1.3. COMPETITION 1.3.1. COMPETITORS AND TYPE OF COMPETITION Parbat Redolence will face competition from the small scale producers in Nepal and the established producers from Europe and USA.

The small scale producers will have pricing advantage over Parbat Redolence, and the European and American companies will enjoy better market experience.

1.3.2. COMPETITORS' STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES There are several companies working in this sector in Nepal but they are of smaller scale and operate individually without much collaboration with the

Page 6

Term Paper (Business Plan), GRA 3136 New Venture Creation

11.12.2009

community. This might provide them a slight price advantage. Trade is dominated by export to the Indian market. However, lack of proper testing and high quality processing equipments has cast doub over the quality of their products.

The companies in Europe and the USA have higher production costs but good quality adherence. Other low cost producers face the issue of lower grade of products.

1.3.3. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Parbat Redolence will have lower production costs and quality will be maintained by following strict quality norms of ISO 9001:2008 standards and USDA organic certification requirements. So, Parbat Redolence will be able to compete with both the national and international competition.

SALES & MARKETING PLAN CUSTOMERS

Parbat Redolence’s initial clients’ base will be dominated by existing importers and distributors in the target markets (the USA, UK, France, Germany and Norway). Within two years, the clients’ base will include at least an equal percentage of aroma therapy practitioners and home users.

2.2.

SUPPLIERS

Processing Machineries will be procured from an ISO certified internationally renowned company in India. Importing the equipments from India will provide the advantage of lesser delivery period and faster technical support.

Lab equipments will be procured from a world renowned Australian company with four decades of experience.

High quality two layered alumunium containers will be imported from an ISO certified producer in India.

2.3. ADVERTISING & PROMOTION Marketing will be carried out through postings on reputed online B2B (Business to Business) portals, networking and interacting with aroma therapy practitioners and essential oils traders, and participating in different international expositions and trade shows.

2.4. PRICING AND DISTRIBUTION Parbat Redolence Limited will enjoy pricing advantage because of low cost of production due to utilization of community forests land, and duty free export and soft loan facilities by the government. It’s pricing advantage will be enhanced further by the quality certifications it will have acquired (ISO 9001: 2008 and USDA organic certification). The ex-stock rate for both chamomile and spikenard essentials oils will be USD 500 per KG for the first three years of operation after which it will be increased to USD 700 per KG.

Distribution of the product will be handled by Parbat Redolence initially as the clients will mainly be the importers in the target markets. Afterwards, Parbat Redolence will carry out distribution through its international office with coordination with aroma therapy practitioners and through the importers. Parbat Redolence will open its first international office in the UK within 2 years of its operations and will have at least an office in each of the target markets. Contacts have already been established with some of the most reputed aroma therapy practitioners in Norway and France.

2.5. CUSTOMER SERVICE POLICY Customer service is going to be enhanced by a dedicated support team, regular meetings with users, effective technical support and appropriate product packaging.
