INTRODUCTION

Quality of work life refers to the favorableness (or) un favorableness of a job

environment for people. The basic purpose is to developed jobs that are excellent for

people a well as for production. Quality of work life is large step for forward from the

traditional job design of scientific management which focused mostly on

specialization and efficiency for the performance of narrow tasks. The major

indicators of quality of work life are job involvement, job satisfaction and

productivity.

1. INDUSTRY PROFILE

WORLD SCENARIO

In 1995, world imports in fruit juices and concentrates reached $

5,748 million, having fluctuated heavily in recent years, though it should be

noted that world trade has increased very considerably over the last two

decades. By far the largest share of world trade in fruit juices consists of citrus

juices (mainly orange) and temperate-zone fruit juices, e.g. apple juice, where

as tropical fruit juices and concentrates accounted for the balance (about 5%).

These figures do not include trade in pulp/puree. Pineapple juice (mainly

concentrate) is by far the most important tropical fruit juice. In 1995, world

imports amounted to $ 280 million, while they fluctuated enormously since

1990 and peaked at $ 383 million in 1991. The fluctuations were caused by

great variations in supply rather than demand factors, though there has been a

considerable increase in world trade in pineapple juice over the last decade.

Imports into the five largest markets, i.e. the United States, the Netherlands,

Italy, France and Spain, amounted to $ 191 million in 1995 or 68% of world

12

Page 13: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees

imports. The three largest producers of pineapple juice/concentrate, Thailand,

the Philippines and Kenya, together account for over half of total world

exports. Other important suppliers are Indonesia, Costa Rica, the United States

and South Africa. Again it should be noted that world trade includes a very

large amount of re-exports (mainly from the Netherlands). With the exception

of pineapple, there are no reliable statistics on world trade in tropical fruit

juices, concentrates and pulp/puree. However, based on information from trade

sources and fragments of trade statistics, annual world trade in these products

(excluding pineapple) can be estimated in the range of 175,000 to 200,000 tons

in single strength equivalent, valued at between $175 and $225 million. The

three most important tropical fruits, apart from pineapple, are banana, passion

fruit and mango. The major markets are the European Union and the United

States. Though world trade in fruit juices (tropical and non-tropical) has

fluctuated considerably, in value terms, during recent years, most major

markets have increased in volume terms during the same period. In general, the

world market for fruit juices is expected to show further growth in the future,

inter alia, because of a low per capita consumption in many markets and a

growing health consciousness in most markets. Considering more specifically

tropical fruit juices, concentrates and pulp/puree, traders generally expect sales

of these products to grow at least at the same rate as the juice market as a

whole, and in some cases even more. Again the fruit juice business and related

food industries are expected to benefit from the general interest in tropical fruit,

including fresh produce, in most markets .The major markets in the European

Union and the United States are expected to remain the most important outlets

for tropical fruit juices, concentrates and pulp/puree, whereas, for example,

Japan and the Republic of Korea are less interesting markets for this product

group. On the other hand there is a growing market in Singapore and some

other markets in Asia and Latin America, including some of the traditional

exporting countries.

13

Page 14: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees

INDIAN SCENARIO

Traditionally, the Indian life style has a predilection for fresh fruits and

vegetables or those processed at home. There is a sea change. People, are now

increasingly going in for fresh fruit vending from kiosk fountains, which

produce instant juices from fresh fruits in the presence of the consumer. It

could be due to the non-availability of hygienically produced and well-

preserved products with the use of preservatives. That is why some of the real

but branded fruit juices launched in the late 1980s and early 1990s did not

succeed.

There has been a steady rise in the capacity, production and capacity

utilization in the fruit processing units. The processing capacity had gone up

from 0.9 tonnes in 1990-91 to 2.1 tonnes in 1999-00. The capacity utilization

improved from 31% to 47%, with the production in 1999-00 estimated to have

increased to 980,000 tonnes. The official reports do not show any substantial

increase in total output although branded drinks do show a healthy

improvement. There is no general acceptance of the product forms in the fruit

14

Page 15: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees

drinks market. The consumer is basically concerned that it is a fruit juice and

not a synthetically constituted product. Accordingly, the first segmentation is

between real fruit drinks and synthetic drinks. The former are based on natural

fruit pulp or juice. The others are synthetic products containing fruit flavors.

Among the fruit juice beverages are fruit juices (Pepsi's Tropicana), nectars

(Dauber's Real) and fruit drinks (Frooti and Slice). All these are real,

reconstituted from fruit pulps or concentrates. The leading fruit juice brands

include Real, Onjus, Tropicana, Frooti, Jumpin. The fruit drinks are mainly

based on oranges, mangoes, pineapples, grapes, apples, guava and tomato.

They only differ in pulp content: the juices have over 85%, nectars (20% to

85%) and fruit drinks (less than 20%)

The branded fruit juices market inclusive of nectars is placed at about Rs

10 bn. The pure fruit juices are the preferred drink among the fruit drinks. This

segment is growing at around 10% annually. The market for fruit juices is

expected to grow to Rs. 7.50 bn by end 2009-10 from nearly Rs. 4.75 bn

presently, per capita of juices in India is very low. It is estimated at a fraction

of a litre - 20 ml. China has attained a consumption level of 1500 ml. The

consumption in India is basically an urban phenomenon. Nonetheless, it is

gaining slow but steady penetration into the rural areas.

The early development of juice processing was led by co-operatives and

other processors in the fruit-rich states of Himachal Pradesh and Punjab. The

canned juice segment covered brands like NAFED, Noga, Midland, Gold Coin

and Druk. These were fruit juices or nectars - not drinks. These did not make a

mark in the market for whatever reasons: high price, unattractive packaging,

and lack of right promotion program. A bulk of juice consumption came from

institutional commercial buyers. There was a sizeable export of mango pulp. It

is now getting into the retail marketing basically as a fun food, often as a

substitute for aerated and cola drinks.

15

Page 16: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees

In the area of packaging, Tetra-Pak India, a part of the $ 10 bn Tetra

Laval group, has become the major source of brick cartons amenable to aseptic

packaging and imparting long product shelf life to the foods. Tins, nonetheless

still continue to be in the market in family size packings. A perceptible change

came in 1996 with the introduction of Real juice in aseptic cartons from Dabur

Foods. Packaged in tabletop packs from Elopak, Norway, the juices were

claimed to have a six-month shelf life. Real fruit juice is the first brand in Asia

to use the latest Spin Technology developed by TetraPack. It is available in five

flavours - orange, mango, pineapple, mixed fruit and tomato. It also plans to

export Real to South East Asia, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

EnkayTexofood Industries entered the market with what is claimed as

100% natural orange juice in India with Onjus brand. Enkay happens to be the

largest Indian exporter of fruit juices, pulp and concentrates to Europe and

North America, with clients such as Unilever, Coke, Pepsi and Nestle.

The company's plants near Vapi in Gujarat have been producing daily

80,000 packs of 250 ml and 70,000 packs of one litre of Onjus. By the end of

1999, Onjus had captured at a point of time third of the juice market.

Until the advent of Tropicana, Real remained a premium product. Dabur

Foods marketing strategy paid off until Onjus was sold at almost half the Real's

price and claimed to be a 100% natural drink. Tropicana Product, a division of

PepsiCo, entered the Indian market. For the Indian markets, Tropicana

developed a sweeter blend of orange and white grape. Tropicana was planning

to enhance its market share in the fruit juice market and to increase its turnover

to Rs 1000 mn by 2002-03. PepsiCo International is planning to make India a

regional sourcing hub for fruit juice concentrates and pulp. Pepsi Foods is

already exporting nearly 20,000 tonnes of mango pulp and concentrate mainly

to West Asia and Europe. It has launched a new mango juice and was to

introduce guava and litchi variants.

16

Page 17: 206718637 a-study-on-quality-of-work-life-of-employees

The segment has been witnessing some feverish developments. Pepsi

was exploring the launch of a new brand in the segment the first international

juice brand in the category launched in India. It had already decided to launch

other flavours of Maaza and beverages like iced tea and coffee. It is planning to

repack its five-flavour offering for the Indian consumer. The company stopped

the production of the 250 ml pack. The new flavour - sweet orange - was being

targeted at customers who were not used to the regular orange flavoured juice,

which Tropicana sells worldwide. While Tropicana came up with mixed fruits,

Pepsi ventured into slice mango juice in Tetrapak along Tropicana. Tropicana

also explored the possibility of local production of juices from mango. It

planned to source raw processed fruits, such as apples from Himachal Pradesh,

grapes from Sholapur and tomatoes from Punjab.

COMPANY PROFILE
