...FOOD PROCESSING IN INDIA Corporate Catalyst India A report on Indian Food Processing Industry 1. INDUSTRY OVERVIEW India is the world’s second largest producer of food next to China, and has the potential of being the biggest with the food and agricultural sector. The food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India-it is ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth. The food industry is on a high as Indians continue to have a feast. Fuelled by what can be termed as a perfect ingredient for any industry - large disposable incomes - the food sector has been witnessing a marked change in consumption patterns, especially in terms of food. Increasing incomes are always accompanied by a change in the food basket. The proportionate expenditure on cereals, pulses, edible oil, sugar, salt and spices declines as households climb the expenditure classes in urban India while the opposite happens in the case of milk and milk products, meat, egg and fish, fruits and beverages. For instance, the proportionate expenditure on staples (cereals, grams, pulses) declined from 45 per cent to 44 per cent in rural India while the figure settled at 32 per cent of the total expenditure on food in urban India. A large part of this shift in consumption is driven by the processed food market, which accounts for 32 per cent of the total food market. It accounts for US$ 29.4 billion, in a total estimated market of US$ 91.66 billion. The Confederation of...

...Food Industry Last Updated: June 2012 Introduction The food services sector in India is expected to witness a 50 per cent increase in investments in 2012 to about US$ 750 million, as food suppliers and retail companies plan to scale up business and stay competitive by tapping the large potential of the domestic market. Of the total investments of US$ 750 million in 2012, about US$ 165 million has gone into purely front-end retail, such as fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), food and beverage firms. India is the world's largest milk producer, accounting for around 17 per cent of the global milk production, according to RNCOS research report titled, 'Indian Dairy Industry Analysis'. The study anticipates that the milk production in India will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 4 per cent during 2011-2015. Further, India has emerged as one of the largest potential markets for organic food consumption globally. The organic food is invariably catching up pace among the Indian retailers, especially with the niche retailers owing to wide awakening among Indian consumers towards leading a healthy life, as per RNCOS research report titled, 'Indian Organic Food Market Analysis'. We anticipate that the sector will post significant growth during 2011-2013, growing at a CAGR of 15 per cent. Indians spend US$ 64 billion annually on eating out, which includes $13 billion on eating in quick-service restaurants (QSRs) such as McDonald's and Costa Coffee, propelling...

...CAN INDIA BE THE FOOD BASKET FOR THE WORLD? N.VISWANADHAM Indian School of Business Hyderabad-500032 n.viswanadham@gmail.com Abstract India can become the food supplier of the world. It has the cultivable land, all the seasons for production of all varieties of fruits and vegetables, an agribusiness system that works although it needs to be vastly improved. The single most important problem facing the Indian agricultural industry is the highly inefficient supply chain. Because of lack of cold chain infrastructure and also a food processing industry about 20 per cent of all foods produced in India (Rs. 500 b) are wasted. By building an efficient and effective supply chain using state of the art techniques it is possible to serve the population with value added food while simultaneously ensuring remunerative prices to the farmers. The surplus of cereals, fruits, vegetables, milk, fish, meat and poultry can be processed as value added food products and marketed aggressively both locally and internationally. Investments in cold chain infrastructure, applied research in post harvest technologies, installation of food processing plants in various sectors and development of food retailing sector are mandatory for achieving gains in this sector. Strategic growth plans for achieving both national and international competitiveness of the food industry are essential. 1. OUTLINE OF THE PAPER In this paper we identify emerging opportunities in the food and cold chain...

...Food security means the easy availability and access of food at all times in sufficient quantity in a safe and nutritious form to meet the dietary requirements and food preferences for an active, healthy and productive life. In fact, food security is the imperative prerequisite for the economic and social stability of any nation. Again sustainable food security requires a stable supply of good and properly functioning agricultural markets. To encourage the food security, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations celebrates World Food Day every year on 16th October, the day on which the Organization was founded in 1945. "World Food Security and the challenges of climate change and bio-energy" was the theme for the World Food Day for the year 2008. The theme is quite relevant at this hour when changes in agriculture production and cultivation pattern is being observed in different parts of the world due to drastic changes in the climatic pattern. Increase in demand for fuel, food, diversion of good crops to fuel, inflationary peak particularly observed in food items can have a detrimental effect on the gap between demand and supply of food products and food security of the nations as a whole. The worst affected, under such circumstances will undoubtedly be the people residing in the developing and the underdeveloped nations of the world. Poor people of these countries are largely dependant on agriculture which is most vulnerable to climate change. Increase...

...ready-to-eat foods. The single family consisted of many people earlier i.e., a group of several nuclear families were living in a single place. Hence, larger quantities of the food were used to be prepared. But as these joint families started disappearing due to various reasons, each single family started using these ready-to-eat foods in order to save time and energy. Due to establishment of multi- national companies in India, the lady of the house also started working, because of which there was no time to prepare food at home. Hence, this created the need for using ready-to-eat foods. Due to raise in income, the standard of living is also changing and there is a strong influence of western countries, more global trade, traveling etc., hence, people are changing their taste to ready-to-eat foods more compared to the old traditionally prepared foods.

...lives in America. From religion to fashion there is a big difference in Native Indians and Americans. They have adapted to a lot of America ways and enjoy their lives here yet some miss their Indian customs. India is acknowledged as the origin of Hinduism and Buddhism which are the third and fourth largest religions in the world. According to the “Handbook of Research on Development and Religion” Edited by Matthew Clarke (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2013). There are differences of Hinduism and four predominant sects, Smarta, Shakteya, Vaishnava, and Shaiva. With around 13 percent of Indians being Muslims it makes India one of the largest Islamic nations in the world. Sikhs and Christians make up a small percentage of the India population, with even a smaller percentage of Jains and Buddhists (Indian Culture, 2016). In contrast, just about every religion known is practiced in the United States of America. Around 83 percent of Americans are identified as Christians according to the ABC poll, unlike the small percentage of Christians in India. Judaism is the second most religions identification and only .6 percent responding to being Muslim. India is almost opposite in comparison with religion in America (American Culture, 2016).

...Barriers to Entry For many years India was largely viewed as a country to outsource operations to reduce cost and employ highly skilled workers who wage demands were lower that domestic workers. This view of India however is rapidly changing and the country is increasingly becoming known as the world’s largest potential market for goods and services. India is also expected to become a powerhouse (along with China) of middle class consumerism over the next two decades. India’s global middle class is expected to reach 200 million by the year 2020. Growth is expected to accelerate after 2020, reaching 475 million by 2030 and adding more people than the Chinese to the global middle class worldwide. A growing middle class presents a great opportunity for our company as a fast food chain as middle class citizens are more likely to spend money on fast food and eating out. But even though India presents huge opportunities for our company, there are also significant risks and barriers to entry to consider. Barriers to entry as simply forces within the foreign company that have the potential to prevent our company from being successful there. Our company will have to have a knowledge and understanding of these barriers in order to successfully become established and grow to meet profit objectives. Some barriers into India include: 1.
