Equity Bottom-Up

LT Foods - an established Indian player in the branded staples segment - has benefited from strong growth in demand for packaged food in the country.  Expanding presence of organised modern retail, rise in family income, increasing number of double income households, need for convenience and consequently greater ability/willingness of consumers to upgrade spending on branded/processed/packaged foods have been contributing factors. LT Foods appears well positioned to benefit from this structural shift in domestic Indian consumption pattern. It has also strong branded presence in basmati rice category in the US, Europe and Middle East.  Stock's current valuations seem more reflective of its single product agri-processor past than its present multi product branded player profile.
