India's largest edible oil maker (Fortune brand) and staples/foods company, a Wilmar-Adani joint venture.
India's largest edible oil maker (Fortune brand) and staples/foods company, a Wilmar-Adani joint venture.
Refines largely imported crude palm, soy and sunflower oil and sells it packed under the Fortune brand, so global oil prices, import duties and the rupee feed through to margins. Sold via distributors to neighbourhood stores and large retailers; foods and staples are being added to reduce dependence on oil. Singapore's Wilmar is a major shareholder.
Moat: narrow (brand, distribution, scale). Fortune is India's leading edible-oil brand with vast distribution, though oils are a low-margin commodity category.
