Review of Edible Oil Industry of Pakistan
In Pakistan, at present, the edible oil industry includes the manufacture of compound cooking oils (which is a recent development), table or salad oils (this process is still in its infancy) margarine and refined oils. Important products of this industry are mustard oil, cotton seed oil, groundnut oil and newly developed sunflower seed oil, safflower seed oil and Soya bean oil. Of late, a number of modern oil mills have been set up for the production of solvent extraction oils. At present, major sources of raw materials are cotton seed (about 58 per cent) (rape and mustard seed about 36 per cent) and others about (6 per cent).
Production:-
The three production processes that are in vogue in the country have their own limitation. For instance the bullock-driven village mill (kohlu) with a capacity of one mound (37 kgs.) of seed per day yields about 8% of the total oil mostly rape and mustard seed oil. Expeller mills produce 80 per cent of the total oil. These mills have varying capacity from 7 to 60 tones of seed per day.
There are also large expeller mills of 200 tones seed per day. Solvent extraction plants have a daily average capacity of 165 tones each. These plants produce about 11 per cent of edible oil.

COMPANY PROFILE.
When you hear the name Dalda the image of quality conjures up in your mind. Dalda has earned the trust of its consumers over a period of almost 60 years. In fact Dalda is the pioneer of vegetable oil and banaspati ghee in the country.
Dalda’s story begins in early 1930’s when Hindustan vanaspati Manufacturing Co (today’s Hindustan Lever Limited) wanted to start manufacturing vanaspati locally. At that time hydrogenated vegetable oil was imported in India by a Dutch company, Dada & Co. Dada & Co, insisted that the branded product should reflect their name, hence in a bid to establish their ownership of the brand Hindustan Lever introduced the letter ‘L’ for Lever into the name; giving rise to the name DALDA.
Dalda Banaspati through its promise of superior quality & taste has won the hearts millions of consumers making it not only a household name in the sub-continent by synonymous with the genre vanaspati. Dalda, in its quest to meet the changing needs of its consumers; entered the oils segment through the launch of Dalda Cooking oil.
In 1999 Unilever acquired International Technology to evolve Dalda Banaspati to Dalda VTF, making it the only Virtually Trans-fat Free Bansapati in Pakistan.
In July 2004 Unilever Pakistan sold its "Dalda" brand to Westbury Group in collaboration with Unilever Employee Welfare Group, who formed a separate company under Dalda Foods (Private) Ltd.
Dalda Foods (pvt) ltd took Dalda’s over 60 years of heritage combined with continuous innovation and in-depth consumer understanding and maintenance of high quality standards has made it the leading brand in the Cooking Oil and Fats industry.
Within a short span of 4 years Dalda Foods expanded its Brand Portfolio through the launch of Manpasand; to meet the needs of the vast middle-income segment. Manpasand Banasapti and Cooking oil was launched at end-2005 and has grown to become one of the most formidable players in the industry.

DALDA FOODS (pvt) Ltd.
The Dalda portfolio was also expanded to seize the opportunity arising from changing consumer lifestyles and increased health awareness; the company entered the pure-oil segment in early 2007 through the launch of Dalda Canola & subsequently Dalda Olive oil.
In a bid to expand capacity and further strengthen position in the premium segment and enter the lower-income segment; Dalda Foods acquired the brand “Tullo” & “Pride” from Wazir Ali Industries in January 2007.

BRAND POWER:
Dalda’s Commitment to Quality.
Dalda’s commitment to quality, environmental and corporate social responsibility is signified from the fact that it is the only edible oil and fats brand which has: Bureau Verities Quality (BVQI) certification of:
o ISO 9001-2000 for Quality o ISO 14001-2004 for Environment
o ISO 22000-2005 for Food Safety
o OHSAS 18001-1999 for Occupational Health and Safety
HACCP certification for Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points
Dalda is the only National Brand:
That has a Virtually Trans-fat Free (VTF) Banaspati since 1999 With enhanced vitamins as per UNESCO’s recommendation; which necessitates the
addition of more quantity of vitamins, than any other brand in Pakistan
Which is being exported to EU countries because it meets International Quality Standards
When you visit the Dalda Foods factory, you will immediately notice the beautiful green lawns irrigated by the recycled water from the in-house Effluent Treatment Plant for sustainable use of natural resources. Environmental Protection Bylaws state that it is mandatory for edible oil and fats factories in Pakistan to have an effluent treatment plant so that the environment is not damaged by the effluents from the factory. However Dalda is the only brand to have invested
17
DALDA FOODS (pvt) Ltd.
substantially in order to acquire this plant and maintain it. This is Dalda’s humble contribution towards conserving and sustaining this natural resource. The treated effluent water from the Effluent Treatment Plant at Dalda meets the National Environmental Quality Standards (NEQS) and is used for irrigation purposes within the factory only.
Product line.
Dalda VTF Banaspati
Dalda’s journey into the lives of its consumers started almost 60 years ago when Dalda’s food scientists pioneered a way of preserving the goodness of vegetable oils in a manner which not only preserved the taste of desi ghee but was a healthier alternative cooking medium- thus Dalda Banaspati was born.
Over time keeping in line with the changing consumer needs Dalda Banaspati evolved to become Dalda VTF Banaspati. Dalda VTF Banaspati is the only banaspati in Pakistan which is virtually Trans-fats Free.
Any ordinary banaspati brand contains up to 25% of these harmful Trans-fats; however Dalda using its International Technology and Expertise has reduced the amount of Trans-fats in its banaspati to less than 1%. This makes Dalda VTF Banaspati the healthiest banaspati available in Pakistan.
Dalda Cooking Oil
18
DALDA FOODS (pvt) Ltd.
Not only was Dalda the pioneer in banaspati but also keeping in mind the changing lifestyle of its consumers Dalda introduced cooking oil to the market
Dalda Cooking Oil is a premium blend of canola, sunflower and soybean oil, which is then hygienically refined to perfection using Dalda’s state of the art plant and International Technology and Expertise. This process of refining is specially designed to preserve the natural goodness of each of the individual oils in the blend. Hence the optimum goodness of each canola, sunflower and soybean reaches the consumers.
Planta Cooking Oil
In its quest for innovation Dalda introduced Planta Cooking Oil for consumers who were reluctant to shift to cooking oil from desi ghee. Thus Planta Cooking Oil became the only cooking oil to contain the goodness of oil and the delectable taste of ghee. It is a blend of soybean, canola and sunflower oil and is 100% cholesterol free. It also contains Vitamins A and D. This makes food cooked in Planta Cooking Oil tasty as well as very healthy.

Dalda Canola Oil with Vitamin Power
Dalda also expanded its product range to include Dalda Canola Oil with Vitamin Power. Extracted from fresh canola seeds, Dalda Canola Oil with Vitamin Power not only provides the benefits of Canola oil but also additional nutrients to give consumers extra energy, superior health and great taste essential for a modern and demanding lifestyle.
It is these properties and the additional Vitamin Power in Dalda Canola Oil which make it a much superior product and an ideal choice for Canola oil consumers.
Dalda Olive Oil
Another novel product by Dalda is Dalda Olive Oil. Dalda Olive Oil is packaged and imported from Spain. Using its International Technology and Expertise, Dalda ensures that its olive oil is extracted from the purest and freshest hand picked olives from the fertile lands of Spain, which are then refined to perfection using the most advanced International Technology under stringent quality standards within Spain. Dalda Olive Oil is 100% cholesterol free and enriched with exceptional Shifa and health benefits of olives, and fortified with additional Vitamin A and E to provide its consumers’ life with the smile and sparkle that it deserves. Dalda Olive Oil is available in three variants Extra Virgin, Pure, and Pomace. The difference
20

between the variants of Dalda Olive Oil is their acidity level, which affects mostly taste and not nutritional content.
