A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The project gets initiated with a brief introduction to Soya industry and its market analysis. Since Soya industry is an agro-based industry which depends heavily on South-west monsoon for a better yield, its highly risk-driven due to prevailing natural calamities. Soy bean is a Kharif crop which makes the seed price cheaper during October-March. Sakthi Soya’s only basic raw material being a soya bean, it drives the major cost (80%) for its end-products. Sakthi Soyas generates 80% of its revenue from Refined Soya bean Oil, which depends on Oil market in both global and Indian Scenario. A brief study on standard costing followed in the company is made to get a glimpse of cost constituents of each end-product. The project emphasis on …show more content…
Presently soybean contributes 43 % to the total oilseeds and 25% to the total oil production in the country. Currently, India ranks fourth in respect to production of soybean in the world. Production of soybean in India is dominated by Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh which contribute to 89 per cent of the total Soybean production in country India has the fifth largest vegetable oil economy in the world and Madhya Pradesh is considered as Soya bowl of the country. After cereals, oilseeds are the second largest agricultural commodity, accounting for the 14% of the gross cropped area in the country. However, country meets its edible oil demand through imports, which accounts for almost 50% of requirement. The per capita consumption of the vegetable oil is increasing very rapidly due to increase in population and improved economic status of the population. Production of soybean in India is dominated by Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh which contribute 89 per cent of the total production. Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh, Gujarat & other states contribute the remaining 11 per cent
John Deere Component Works (JDCW), subdivision of John Deere and Co. was in charged specifically of the manufacturing of tractor component parts. The demand for JDCW’s products had problems due to the collapse of farmland value and commodity prices. Numerous and constant failures in JDCW’s competition for bids, alerted top management to start questioning their current costing methods. As an outcome, the analysis has to be guided to research on the current costing methods with the intention of establishing legitimacy and to help the company in adopting a more appropriate costing system.
Soy is becoming an increasingly popular food commodity in the United States. This plant serves as one of the food industry’s top cheapest products for food manufacturing processes. Soy derives from the soybean, a leguminous plant widely cultivated for its edible seeds. The soybean originated in China, where the plant was widely famed for being used in a variety of foods, especially when acting as an animal protein replacement. During the late 1700s, the soybeans were imported into the United States. At the time, soy’s main purpose was to serve as a cheaper way to feed farm animals. As time progressed, Americans began using soy for their own nutritional benefits. Although many studies prove positive health benefits from this plant, there are lingering concerns pertaining to the safety of soy consumption.
In Thailand, fruit bundles have to be transported from the plantation to the mills and refineries, which are located in Krabi province. The Thailand government is using palm oil biodiesel to become more sustainable. They are trying to reduce the dependence on import and to improve energy security in the country. After analyzing the life cycle production of methyl ester, it was found that the three major energy consumptions is transportation, fertilizer, and methanol. There should be a reduction in the amount of fertilizer. Biodiesel should be used instead of diesel and fossil fuels, which are often used, for a more environmental friendly way. There should be non-fossil fuels to produce methanol. There should be efficient utilization of co-products, including fibers and shells to improve overall energy output (Pleanjai and
...vent weeds and diseases in the plants could be absorbed into the fish or animals in the area, presenting a danger to citizens who later consume them. The problems of deforestation in the soybean industry are running rampant, leaving areas barren; Brazil being the perfect example.
For centuries, soy foods have been consumed by Asian while, they are relatively new to U.S. consumers. Soy foods have been well-known among western vegetarians for many decades, mainly due to their nutrient content and soy foods can be extremely versatile as replacements to meat, dairy products, snack foods, and can even count toward daily servings of vegetables. The quality of soy protein is higher compared to other legumes (protein digestibility corrected amino acid scores for soy protein from different soyfoods ranges from about 0.9 to 1.0) (Rand et al., 2003) and high amounts of the essential omega-3 fatty acid and α-linolenic acid (ALA) can be found in soybeans (Wu et al., 2004). Therefore, soy foods have often been appreciated by vegetarians more for the ease with which they can be incorporated into the diet than their nutrient content.

“According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations’ global hunger data, more than 10% – about 800 million people – are undernourished and do not have enough food to lead healthy, active lives (Farmers Weekly). Global food shortages are a day to day issue that all organisms on Earth suffers. Biofuels are a huge part of global food shortages because it is made from the oils of plants which could be converted into food. Biofuels are produced from plants that are burned in furnaces or diesel engines. The the oil from those burned plants is mixed with petroleum, furthermore this process creates biofuels. Biofuels mainly consist of corn which could be used as food instead. Farming techniques are very important to the food shortages too. Without proper farming techniques crops wouldn’t be growing as well as the plants are today. Hydroponics can help this
It is found that the positives of palm oil production are that the palm oil contains vitamins and is low in cholesterol which causes the lowering in cholesterol levels in humans. The palm oil is essential to the making of products including the cosmetics and cleaning agents. It can also provide the solution to poverty as $3000 per hectare of returns is provided. Also, it is found that the negatives of palm oil production are it results in the destruction of rainforests due to deforestation, it can cause extinction of species with 50% of decreasing for the orang-utan population, and it raises social issues with the loss of income and the dependence of the large plantations
Soy: Soy is used in tofu, vegetarian products/meals, soybean oil, flour, and hair products soy has been modified to resist herbicides, bugs and drought.

Cosmetics, soap, chocolate, and frozen meals. These general products all have something in common; they include palm oil, a resource found in oil palm trees located primarily in Indonesia and Malaysia. Palm oil is a valuable resource that is contained in many everyday products. However, the mass consumption of this ingredient caused wide deforestation in wildlife’s natural habitat and is leading to the endangerment of several animal species. Sustainable palm oil is grown and harvested by companies on private land to avoid deforestation and harm to wildlife, so people should consider purchasing products that include sustainable palm oil rather than palm oil taken from natural forests.
(see Figure 4, Zhao Guozhi, 2005) Up to now, as the world's largest importer of sesame seeds, Japan imports an amazing amount every year. It imports almost all its domestically consumed sesame. In 2013, the nation imported 141,573 tons. (Ippei Tanoue, 2014). Its trade accounted 25 percent for the world trade volume. Japan was importing sesame seeds, in the past, mainly from China, followed by Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Tanzania. Sudan and Burma were important souring country to Japan, but due to political instability, they produce and export less. To stabilize supply source, Japan is still looking for more stable supplier, although African countries now export more than half of their sesame seed to Japan. But it is still not enough. Many factors contribute to the variation in market price and supply of sesame. Like in China, who used to be a major exporter of sesame, but the tedious harvesting process, mostly done by hand, discouraged many farmers there from cultivating the crop. Numerous farms have now switched to growing more profitable vegetables. The reduction in domestic yield, along with rising domestic demand for sesame oil, has pushed up sesame
Indonesia is the major producer of Palm Kernel oil with a quantity of 3.8 million tonnes, followed by Malaysia with 2.35 million tonnes. Indonesia and Malaysia are also the largest producer of Palm Kernel oilseed and the major exporters of Palm Kernel oil.
The use of biofuels is paying a big role worldwide but the consequences faced as results of using them also brings about problems in societies ( Giampietro and Mayumi.2009) . In most developing countries the great number of population works in manufacturing industries so the use of machinery results in reduced amount of job opportunities ( Giampietro and Mayumi). Furthermore the use of plants in production of biofuels will lead in reduction of biodiversity as the specific plants used in their production will lead in the decrease due to high cultivation.
