Dynamic and Flexible Global Procurement Strategy with Significant Barriers
for New Participants
Amira purchases paddy (rice) in an unfinished state from a large network Amira buys rice from brokers or other third party millers at the mid-late
of procurement agents and local Indian farmers (typically between (semi-finished) stage of the processing cycle in India, Germany, UK or
September and March) other location
The farmers bring their paddy to markets called “Mandi,” where they sell,
While purchasing rice in the mid-late stage rice is more expensive than
at a set price, to buyers from millers, brokers, and companies like Amira
early stage rice upon Amira’s initial purchase, it has a lower in-house
The markets function as a price setting process run by the local processing cost and storage requirement
governments, who set the market-wide prices at which Amira ends up
purchasing paddy Average drying/warehousing time for mid-stage rice can be as much as
four to six months or more
2 Processing Fully processed rice may also be purchased from third-party mills for
immediate re-sale (Amira can use its facilities for packaging or rely on third
Amira then selects the highest quality paddy available and brings it back to parties)
its factory to mill, separate, remove impurities, and package into ready-to-
sell rice Amira sources product from third party providers both inside and outside
Amira leverages proprietary technology for the quality-testing of of India
purchased paddy
Once the early-stage rice has been processed by Amira, it is then dried and
aged for 12 months or more in warehouses before it is ready for wholesale
distribution
Basmati rice is only grown in the northern region of the Indian sub-continent in the foothills of the Himalayas.

Commentary
• Amira’s inventories included paddy (raw materials) and rice (finished goods) and are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value(3). Amira’s
inventory level has remained in the region of 35-55% of sales from FY2014 to H1 2018. The write down of inventories for Amira remained minimal at
less than 0.1% of the total inventory value historically.
• Amira’s inventories represent a highly monetizable asset that can be sold at virtually any time in the lifecycle, should Amira choose to do so.
• Amira’s Trade receivables as a percentage of sales increased over time in line with growth in the international space where invoices are typically
settled after longer periods. Receivables comprise of retail and institutional customers. Receivables cycle has also been temporarily extended as a
result of a challenging operating environment, including India’s demonetization (“no big bills”) policy during winter 2016 and implementation of GST
law. Receivables levels have started to decrease since the December 2016 period (after Demonetization).
• Amira’s Trade payables comprise mainly of semi-processed rice suppliers and paddy suppliers in addition to other expenses incurred in the normal
course of business.
