ABSTRACT PURPOSE The purpose of the project is to forecast the requirement and cost of the raw material used in the sugar industry i.e. Sugarcane and on the basis of the forecast , decisions are taken . This project is based on cost forecasting model. There are two types of cost . One is fixed cost and the other is variable cost. We have assumed that the cost of production is fixed and other costs like transportation , custom and excise duty , prevailing local price and exchange rate fluctuations are taken as variable. Based on these assumptions , the total market for sugarcane in the medium term of 18 to 36 months is arrived at. DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY The project is based on a series of forecasting exercises done at various level and actual collection and analysis of data of previous years. At this stage , a certain level of aggregation of data is required . for example , there will be various quality of sugarcane in the market and several new varieties will be introduced during the planning year. These data need to be aggregated to analysis capacity requirement and match them with capacity availability. This data is used in the forecasting exercise carried out to estimate future demand.

FINDINGS On account of estimated lower production for 2008-09 and 2009-10 season, sugar, bagasse, molasses and alcohol prices expected to rise in the coming quarters and expected to remain high in the foreseeable future. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The farmers based on the above collected data switched over to alternative crops the reason being the lower rainfall in the Maharashtra and Karnataka. And hence the more of raw sugar was imported as result which the prices of white sugar raised up. ORIGINALITY In the content various forecasting techniques are used assuming the fixed and variable cost and its implications on the total cost of production.

INTRODUCTION Triveni's association with the Sugar Industry is as old as the Industry itself. In pre- independence India, the promoters of what is now the Triveni Group established several sugar factories in pre independent India. Even now, Triveni is the pre- eminent name in the Indian sugar industry. With a current cane crushing capacity of 61,000 TCD (Tonnes Crushing per Day), the Triveni Group continues to be one of the largest producers of sugar in India. The crush capacity of the existing plants are (as follows; •

Khatauli, in District Muzaffarnagar (16,000 TCD)



Deoband in District Saharanpur (14,000 TCD)



Ramkola in District Kushinagar (6,500 TCD)



Sabitgarh in District Bulandshehar (7,000 TCD)



Chandanpur in District J P Nagar (6000 TCD)



Raninagal in District Moradabad (5500 TCD)

Milak Narainpur in District Rampur (6000 TCD)

The new capacities at Chandanpur, Raninagal & Milak Narainpur together with the brownfield expansion at Ramkola were commissioned during the sugar season 2006-07. All seven sugar factories are located in the state of Uttar Pradesh. In all the factories, double suphitation process is followed for sugar production.

The sugar produced at Triveni's factories is direct consumption plantation white low ICUMSA (an International method for determining colour value of sugar, lower value means whiter sugar), bold grain sugar which commands premium in the market. A lot of emphasis is placed on the quality control procedures and quality of sugar produced in the factories. At all the factories, emphasis is on usage of energy efficient systems, modern technology and R & D for better operations and for improved per hectare sugar output. As a result of Triveni's tie up with Sugar Research International of Australia, the group factories have access to modern equipments & process knowhow.

Khatauli, Deoband & Sabitgarh plants are located in fertile, well irrigated and high cane intensity region of western Uttar Pradesh where the sugar cane crop is least dependent on the vagaries of the Monsoon & therefore are very consistent in terms of the cane availability & capacity utilization. The Ramkola unit is located in lucrative eastern UP where the realization of sugar (particularly because of the robust demand from sugar deficient West Bengal) is better as compared to western UP. The three new sugar units are located in the Central UP. The cane development activities taken up by the factories are regarded to be amongst the best in the industry. Group has been pioneer in using modern techniques like Satellite tracking for getting information on area in its command for enabling decisions on which variety to be propagated in which area. Factory has huge data base on individual farmer's field data (total cane area, past supplies, ratoon and plant cane acreage, soil details, land type details etc.) to take prudent decisions on cane development.

Sugar Manufacturing Process 1. Sampling On arrival, a sample of the sugar beet is taken from the load and tested to measure the sugar content and to determine the amount of soil, tops or leaves present in the load. These analyses, combined with the weight of the vehicle entering and leaving the factory, enables the calculation of the quantity of sugar delivered and hence the payment due.

2. Cleaning Floats in water and in the cleaning stage of the process it is moved around in large quantities of water, allowing the Sugar beet to pass through machinery which 'catches' stones but allows the beet to float over the top. Weeds and other trash are also removed before the beet enters the factory, where it is sliced into thin slices called 'Cossettes'

10

3. Slicing : The slicing machines work in a similar manner to a kitchen grater and the cossettes they produce have a 'V' cross section.This ensures the largest possible surface area is presented to maximise the sugar extraction stage.

11

4. Diffusion : Sugar is extracted from the beet by diffusion. This process takes place in a large vessel and in simple terms is akin to brewing tea The cossettes are mixed with hot water at around 70°C for a period of time and the sugar simply passes from the plant cells into the surrounding water by the diffusion process. The vegetable material left behind from this stage is mechanically pressed to extract as much remaining sugar and water as possible and, after the addition of molasses, is dried to produce animal feed products. It is this drying process which gives rise to the familiar plume of steam rising from the factory. The liquid resulting from the diffusion process is dark in colour and is called raw juice.

12

5. Purification : This juice is passed through an important purification stage called carbonatation. This involves mixing the juice with milk of gas. During lime and adding carbon dioxide this process, the carbon dioxide and the milk of lime re-combine to produce calcium carbonate which precipitates out, taking most of the impurities from the juice with it

6. Evaporation The pale yellow juice which remains is called thin juice and while much purer it is still relatively low in sugar content. It passes to the next stage of the process - evaporation - where the water is boiled off in a series of evaporator vessels to increase the solids The concentrated juice passes through filters, after which it is ready for the final stage of the process; or it can be stored and brought back into the factory during the summer to produce crystal sugar. massecuite - is spun in d to storage silos. some sugar remains in the separated liquid so it is boiled again in a further set of vacuum pans to produce raw sugar. This process is repeated a third time resulting in final product sugar and molasses. Raw and final product sugars are re-dissolved into the thick juice. content of the juice from the previous 16 per cent in thin juice to 65 per cent in the thick juice.

The concentrated juice passes through filters, after which it is ready for the final stage of the process; or it can be stored and brought back into the factory during the summer to produce crystal sugar. 7.Crystallization The crystallization process takes place in vacuum pans which boil the juice at lower temperatures under vacuum. When the juice reconcentration it is 'seeded' with tiny sugar crystals which provide the nucleus for larger crystals to form and grow. When the crystals reach the desired size the process is stopped and the resultant mixture of crystal sugar and syrup - known as centrifuges to separate the sugar from the 'mother liquor'. The sugar crystals are washed and after drying and cooling, are conveyed to storage silos. Some sugar remains in the separated liquid so it is boiled again in a further set of vacuum pans to produce raw sugar. This process is repeated a third time resulting in final product sugar and molasses. Raw and final product sugars are re-dissolved into the thick juice.

CONCLUSION One of the Leaders in the Indian Industry The sugar industry in India is highly fragmented with over 500 sugar factories. We are amongst the three largest producers of sugar in India based on sugar production in Sugar Year 2003-2004 derived from ISMA Working Results of Sugar Factories in India, 2003-2004. We manufactured 0.38 million tonnes of sugar in the Sugar Year 2005. Strong Financial Position We have a strong financial position, which we believe will enable us to finance our capacity expansion plans. As of March 31, 2005, we had a long-term debt to equity ratio of 0.72: 1 and total debt to equity ratio of 2.74:1. In fiscal 2005, we have net cash flow from operating activities of Rs. 1,414.42 million. Strategic Location of Mills All of our manufacturing facilities for sugar production are located in the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and the two largest sugar mills at Khatauli and Deoband are located in western Uttar Pradesh, which is one of the largest sugarcane growing areas in India. As a result of our presence in the state of Uttar Pradesh, we benefit from the following advantages. Proximity of Sugarcane Deficient Markets Our sugar mills are located close to the sugarcane deficient markets of Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and West Bengal. Thus, our primary markets are located close to our manufacturing facilities and we do not rely on transporting our sugar to distant markets, which gives us a comparative advantage in distribution costs of this bulk commodity.

16

Excellent Rrelationships with Farmers We make timely payments to sugarcane farmers and have built excellent relationships and goodwill with them, which is an important factor in our industry. We have a good record of payments to farmers for sugarcane despite the cyclical nature of the sugar industry and have strong ties with approximately 167,000 sugarcane farmers. Extensive Network for Sugarcane Collection In order to facilitate the sale of sugarcane to us by the sugarcane farmers, we have established a extensive network of more than 350 collection centers in the state of Uttar Pradesh, where the sugarcane is collected by us and payments are made to farmers. These collection centers are located in our sugarcane area and hence, the farmer is not required to bring his crop to our factory gates. Good Product Quality The sugar produced by our sugar mills in Khatauli and Deoband is bold grained and is rated as one of the better qualities of sugar produced in western Uttar Pradesh. This enables us to command a premium on the sugar produced by us.
