PART I



ITEM 1. BUSINESS

THE COMPANY. The J. M. Smucker Company was begun in 1897 and was
incorporated in Ohio in 1921. The Company, generally referred to as
"SMUCKER'S" (a registered trademark), operates in one industry, the
manufacturing and marketing of food products on a worldwide basis. Unless
otherwise indicated by the context, the term "Company" as used in this report
means The J. M. Smucker Company and its subsidiaries.

PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS. The principal products of the Company are jams, jellies,
preserves, fruit spreads, frozen pies, dessert toppings, syrups, peanut butter,
industrial fruit products (such as bakery and yogurt fillings), fruit and
vegetable juices, juice beverages, pie fillings, condiments, and gift packages.

The Company is structured around six strategic business areas: Consumer,
Mrs. Smith's, Foodservice, International, Industrial, and Specialty Foods.
Within the domestic markets, the Company's products are primarily sold through
brokers to chain, wholesale, cooperative, and independent grocery accounts and
other consumer markets, and to foodservice distributors and chains including:
hotels, restaurants, and institutions. Industrial products such as bakery and
fruit fillings are typically sold direct to other food manufacturers and
marketers for inclusion in their products. The Company's acquisition of the
Mrs. Smith's Frozen Foods Co., a subsidiary of Kellogg Company in late fiscal
1994 has allowed the Company to expand its distribution into the frozen foods
section of the grocery store.

The Company's distribution outside the United States is principally in
Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, and Latin America, although products are
exported to other countries. The acquisition during fiscal 1994 of the
Culinar, Inc. jam division in Quebec significantly expanded the Company's
presence in the Canadian market. International sales now represent
approximately 11% of total Company sales.

SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS. The fruit raw materials used by
the Company in the production of its food products are generally purchased from
independent growers and suppliers, although the Company grows some strawberries
for its own use. Because of the seasonal nature and volatility of quantities
of most of the crops on which the Company depends, it is necessary to prepare
and freeze stocks of fruit, fruit juices, berries and other food products and
to maintain them in cold storage warehouses. Sweeteners, peanuts, and other
ingredients are obtained from various other sources.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS. The Company's products are marketed under several
trademarks owned by the Company. The principal trademarks of the Company
include: "SMUCKER'S", "MRS. SMITH'S", "THE R. W. KNUDSEN FAMILY", "MARY
ELLEN", "LOST ACRES", "SIMPLY FRUIT", "DUTCH GIRL", "GOOD MORNING", "EXTRA
FRUIT", "DOUBLE FRUIT", "J. M. SMUCKER'S", "SUPER SPREADERS", "LOW SUGAR",
"GOOBER", "MAGIC SHELL", "SPECIAL RECIPE", "SUNDAE SYRUP", "RECHARGE", "AFTER
THE FALL", "SANTA CRUZ NATURAL", "DICKINSON'S", "SPRITZER", "FRUIT TEAZER",
"TEAKOOLER", "HEINKE", and "FRUITAGE". In addition, the Company licenses the
"IXL", "SHIRRIFF", "SCHWARTAU", and "VACHON" brands.
3

Other slogans or designs considered important trademarks to the Company
include: "With a name like SMUCKER'S, it has to be good," "SMUCKER'S" banner,
the Crock Jar shape, Gingham design, and strawberry logo.

SEASONALITY. Historically, the Company's business has not been highly
seasonal. However, due to the demand for frozen pies during the fall and
holiday season, the Company expects the addition of "MRS. SMITH'S" to
significantly impact its second and third quarter results.

WORKING CAPITAL. Working capital requirements are greatest during the late
spring and summer months due to seasonal procurement of fruits, berries, and
peanuts. During this period, short-term borrowing may be used to augment
working capital generated by sales.

CUSTOMERS. The Company is not dependent either on a single customer or on a
very few for a major part of its sales. No single domestic or foreign customer
accounts for more than 10% of consolidated sales.

ORDERS. Generally, orders are filled within a few days of receipt and the
backlog of unfilled orders at any particular time is not material.

GOVERNMENT BUSINESS. The Company has no material portion of its business
which may be subject to negotiation of profits or termination of contracts at
the election of the government.

COMPETITION. The Company is the leading manufacturer of fruit spreads,
toppings, and frozen pies in the United States. The Company's business is
highly competitive as all its brands compete for retail shelf space with other
advertised and branded products as well as unadvertised and private label
products. The rapid growth of alternative store formats (i.e. Warehouse Club
and Mass Merchandise stores) and changes in business practices, resulting from
both technological advances and new industry techniques, have added additional
variables for companies in the food industry to consider in order to remain
competitive. The principal methods of and factors in competition are product
quality, price, advertising, and promotion.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Compliance with the provision of federal, state and
local environmental regulations regarding either the discharge of materials
into the environment or the protection of the environment is not expected to
have a material effect upon the capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive
position of the Company.

EMPLOYEES. At April 30, 1994, the Company had approximately 2,600 full-time
employees, worldwide.

SEGMENT AND GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION. Information concerning international
operations for the years 1994, 1993, and 1992 is hereby incorporated by
reference from the 1994 Annual Report to Shareholders, on page 20 under Note B:
"Operating Segments."
