Over the centuries Pakistani experts have acquired and developed unique strains of exotic fruit varieties, unmatched for their rich flavor and taste Shezan International Limited was conceived as a joint venture by the Shahnawaz Group of Pakistan and Alliance Industrial Development Corporation of U.S.A in1964. The agriculture background of the Pakistani sponsors induced them to establish this agrobased industry. Taking advantages of abundance of fruits available in Pakistan, and the advanced technology provided by the American partners, Shezan became pioneers in the field of converting fruits into pulps, concentrates and juices. Today Shezan is the largest food processing unit having developed and installed the capacity to meet the countrys and export needs. In 1971 the Shahnawaz Group purchased all the shares of Alliance Industrial Development Corporation with the permission of the Pakistan Government. The Company has since shown sustained growth in both the domestic and exports fields. The Company has been steadily expanding its production capacity over the years.

the pulp storage tank.

Pricing Strategy
Shezan when introduced twist juice in the market set the price at Rs. 12/while the competitive price was Rs. 10/-. This above average price was due the better quality product and a new Juice brand by a well knows Juice Company and Industry giant.

Rs.468/-
Price Control
There are no price controls and this has happened after the introduction of local government system under the devolution plan. Companies are given free hand in charging enormously high prices for processed food items. They use little quantity of Fruit pulp in making the juice and charge very high price.

34
Conclusion
According to our group mates after visiting the company and taking information from the market we have concluded that: They are going good but have to improve internal environment
They have to improve their distributor sector.
They have to make new strategy for the competitors like Nestle They have large capital , so they have to spend more money in the advertising field They have to introduce New flavor In the market They can introduced these twist juices in 1 Liter packing
They can introduce these juices also in powder form.
35
Recommendations
As we have mentioned that Shezan needs to improve its distribution strategy. Shezan is targeting youngsters as a potential and big market for its twist juice so if company supply directly to the schools, colleges and universities it removes intermediaries and due to high profit ratio caf owners will promote Twist compared to other juices.
36
Another important recommendation we want to give is this that Shezan need to come up with a different kind of packing. Juice packing with straw is not convenient for consumer as sometimes juice fell when we insert straw and sometimes some juice still remain in the pack that cannot come up with the straw. To resolve this issue Shezan must introduce packing with cap on it in spite of using straw. Quantity should be increased to 300ml and price should be Rs. 20/-
