- It refers to various techniques and operations by which raw foodstuffs are transformed into food that are suitable for consumptions, cooking or storage.
- FPI have strong base in India due to abundant production of food articles, aromatic and medicinal plants.
- Constitutes about 8.83% GVA in Manufacturing and 10.66% GVA in Agriculture sector.
- Indias share in export of processed food globally is 2.31%.
Challenges with Food Processing in India and the world : - Lower urban population of India and does not have urban food habits. - recently there has been enough awareness regarding harmful chemical used in the country - A move to vegan culture has decreased processed food market
Importance of Food processing - FP aims to make food more digestible, nutritious and extend the shelf life. - Covers all the aspect that food items go through farm to the consumers plate ex cleaning, grading and packaging. - Can create sustainable livelihoods and economic development for rural communities. - Farmers, Consumers and Economy all 3 benefit from it. - It increases opportunities in allied sectors such as supply chain management, cold storage, financing etc.
Rules and Regulation - most FP enterprises do not require licenses except alcoholic drinks. - 100% FDI through automatic route. - Automatic FDI for reserved items to be manufactured by MSE’s upto 24%/
- FP is transforming raw ingredients into food long shelf life, conc mostly in coastal areas
- 2 processes In FPI Raw material - Food (Primary)and Value addition (Jams Squashes)
- Importance - link b/w agri and industries, absorbs major share of workers from agri, prevents wastage, processed food requires less space/storage, can be exported
- Adv - Resource advantage, increasing employment, curbing migration, curb food inflation, crop diversification, demand potential, driver of growth
- Upstream stage - involves searching and extracting RM
- Requirements - Accessibility to RM, Modern extraction, good linkages w/ farmers, Storage facilities , quality testing facilities, transport facilities, work force
- Downstream - processing of materials collected
- Requirements - latest processing techniques, processing machinery, quality testing facility, Org retail stores, Work force
- Supply Chain Mgt Image unavailable in web version: Supply Chain Management
Challenges :
- are small, lack good R&D,
- lack of skilled workforce,
- lack of right vision and support from Gov,
- lack of good transportation,
- lack of organised retail,
- limitation in supply chain,
- limitation in quality, lack of modern regulation
Various govt institutions that have been established are - Indian Institute of Crop processing Technology IICPT - National Meat and Poultry Processing Board NMPPB - Indian Grape Processing Board - National Institute of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship and Management
