WHAT'S ON CONAGRA'S INDIAN MENU?

Article Abstract:

ConAgra is present in India through ITC Agrotech - the Rs580 crore company it acquired in July 1997. ConAgra has an in- house research and development centre and food laboratory set up at a cost of Rs1 crore. The food laboratory has been researching various wheat, gram and corn based products. It has suggested that ConAgra enter the food market by launching its branded wheat flour. The total demand for wheat flour in India is estimated at 1.5 million tonnes and the processed flour market at around 200,000 tonnes, worth Rs200 crore. According to a report of the consulting firm of McKinsey & Co, in collaboration with the Confederation of Indian Industry, the size of the packaged wheat flour market is projected to increase to Rs15,000 crore by 2005 AD. ConAgra has invested Rs93.75 crore in ITC Agrotech and may buy out other companies in the branded food market. (tsm) (kvr)

Yello - ministers of sound

Article Abstract:

The Swiss music group called Yello is composed of Dieter Meier and Boris Blank who came to know each other in a record shop in Zurich, Switzerland in 1979. The two became friends easily and decided to establish a small recording studio in Zurich's Rote Fabrik, a refuge for striving artists. They experimented on new sounds such as gorilla grunts accompanied by the Latin cha-cha beat on a simple synthesizer. They got their break in the US when they released their first album on the legendary independent label Ralph Records.
