INDUSTRY

 

India’s food processing industry, with a turnover of about Rs.850 billions, is the key sector in the economy and should play a critical role in increasing agricultural productivity, providing employment and improving exports. The industry, comprising fruits and vegetables, milk, fish and meat products, consumer foods and cereal based foods, has grown significantly over the last few years. India ranks amongst the top countries in terms of raw material availability for the food processing industry. It is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables, that largest producer of spices, groundnut and rapeseed, the largest producer of milk and the fourth largest producer of wheat. It has a large livestock population and, with a long coastline of 7,500 Kms. is the seventh largest producer of fish in the world. Despite this, India processes only 7% of its produce of fruits and vegetables and lags behind countries like Brazil, Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia in this regard.

 

The potential for growth of the industry is also reflected in the number of foreign investment proposals received for the various sub-sectors of the industry. Between July 1991 and March 1998, the government approved joint ventures with a collective project cost of Rs.186, 490 millions of which foreign investment comprises of Rs.87, 560 millions.

 

Capitalization of the huge potential of the Indian food sector especially that of mass-based high-volume foods will require large-scale production and backward integration, with farmers for unhindered access of raw material. Investments of the order of approximately Rs.120 billion will be required across the food chain processing, procurement, distribution and agriculture. Storage and distribution alone is likely to absorb around 85% Rs.78 billion of the total investment required.

 

Branding is of key importance in certain area such as aerated and alcoholic drinks, convenience foods, processed fruits, vegetable and dairy products.
