Kamarhatty Strengths

Experienced management and a long track record of operations. The long track record of operations and the experience of management spanning over two decades have helped the company maintain healthy relations with its customers, enabling it to maintain steady revenue growth.
The company has a strong brand base, which leads to shifting the burden of rising prices to the end consumers. With COVID-19 in place, there was an increase in the prices of inputs. However, demand remained strong during the year, partially offsetting the volume loss.

Kamarhatty Shortcomings

Kamarhatty Opportunities

In August 2021, the Indian federal government amended the Plastic Waste Management Rules, 2016, prohibiting identified single use plastic items in India, which have low utility and high littering potential. Awareness to use eco-friendly, bio degradable jute goods across the world will keep jute goods always in demand
The jute bags are durable along with various properties such as re-useable, recyclable, biodegradable, cost-effective which makes them stand on the front side among other material bags such as plastic bags and paper bags. The jute bags are strong which makes them capable of carrying more weight. On the back of this factor, jute bags are more in demand in food industries to store and transport food grains. The jute bags are long-lasting, they do not tear easily as plastic and paper bags which makes them popular among the end users.

Kamarhatty Threats

The company faces shortage of raw materials. Non-availability of sufficient quantity of superior quality raw material. Lack of incentive to farmers to take up jute cultivation on regular basis affects the jute crop and the shortage of workers posing threat to maintaining desirable capacity utilization.
The company faces competition from Bangladesh in the export market due to inherent disadvantages in wage and power costs.
The company faces a continuous increase in dearness allowance leading to a rise in wage costs is a major area of concern.
The company is getting tough competition from new grass root units because they operate at lower wage cost & overheads as compared to the existing old units.
Heavy dependence on erratic Indian jute supply forced some of the countries to construct their own jute mills where raw material is collected from Bangladesh. The West European countries, Japan, and Korea have established jute mills of their own and some of them are using substitute products of jute as raw material e.g. Manila hemp, polyester fibres, and Kenaf fibres.
