Formalisation of Micro Food
Enterprises (MFE)

The food processing sector has various sectors including consumer

foods (snacks, beverages, etc.), dairy, meat and poultry, fish, grains and

cereals, and fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables and meat and

poultry take the lion’s share of about 40 percent of the total house hold

consumption. The Indian food industry is poised for huge growth,

increasing its contribution to world food trade every year. In India, the

food sector has emerged as a high-growth and high-profit sector due to

its immense potential for value addition, particularly within the food

processing industry.

The Indian food processing industry accounts for 32 percent of the

country’s total food market, one of the largest industries in India and is

ranked fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and expected

growth. It contributes around 14 percent of manufacturing Gross

Domestic Product (GDP), 13 percent of India’s exports and six percent

of total industrial investment.

India is well-known for its food and beverages service industry. It is one

among the most vibrant industries which demonstrated unprecedented

growth in the recent past. The industries is continues to expand rapidly.

This growth can be attributed on account of changing demographics,

growing disposable income, urbanization and growth of retail industry.

Indian food service industry is expected to reach US$ 78 billion by 2018.

The Indian gourmet food market is currently valued at US$ 1.3 billion

and is growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 20

percent. India's organic food market is expected to increase by three

times shortly.

Investment prospects for food processing in India

India’s vast agricultural resources alone create huge potential for

investments in its food processing and equipment industry. Major areas

holding scope for value added processing are in the canning, packaging,

dairy and food processing, frozen food, and thermo-processing

industries.

Currently, food processing accounts for almost one-third of the total

food market in India. The food processing industry is valued at US$ 258

billion, and is the fifth largest industry domestically in terms of

production, consumption, export, and expected growth in the country.

The country’s food processing industry is expected to reach US$ 482

billion by 2020, driven by growth in organized retail, changing

consumer behavior, and increasing consumerism in tier II and tier III

cities.

Key Drivers of Growth in Food Processing

Consumer Spending on Food

The Indian food and grocery market is the world’s sixth largest, with

retail contributing to 70 percent of the total sales. On average, Indians

spend 31 percent of their total earnings on food and grocery. In

contrast, consumers in the US spend only 9 percent, while in Brazil and

China, the expenditure on food is 17 percent and 25 percent,

respectively.

Change in Consumer Taste and Preference

With growing awareness, better health consciousness, need for

convenience, and improving lifestyles, and the share of processed food

is gradually and steadily increasing on consumer plates across the

world.

In India, This Change is bolstered by rising per capita income, a large

young population (60 percent below 35 years of age), deeper retail

penetration, and a growing number of nuclear families. India’s

demands for processed food are, therefore, expected to increase to

about 8.5 percent by the end of 2017.

Growth in Food Exports

There is a rise in the demand for Indian processed food in the

international market. In addition to changing consumer tastes in foreign

markets, approximately 30,843,41916 people of Indian origin live

abroad. In 2016-17, the total exports from this sector witnessed a

positive growth of 0.55% to reach US$ 24657.09 million, thus,

occupying a share of 8.92% in India’s overall exports.

The growth of the food and beverages industry is propelled mainly by

developing countries such as India, China, and Brazil, as the economies

of these nations improve and more people are lifted into the middle

class.

The global food, beverage, and grocery industry was estimated to be

worth $7.8 trillion in 2015, or about 10 percent of the world GDP. The

global packaged-food industry was worth $2.5 trillion.

F&B industry in India

India is expected to become the fifth largest consumer market in the

world by 2025. Food and beverages is the biggest of the consumption

categories. The F&B sector is supported by the vast agriculture sector:

India is the biggest producer of pulses, and the second biggest producer

of rice, wheat, sugar cane, and fruits and vegetables.

It is also the biggest producer of milk and buffalo meat and ranks fifth in

poultry production. The other helpful factors: large extents of arable

lands, favorable climate, long coastline, and low wages.

The beverage industry, excluding alcoholic beverages, is worth about

$16 billion. Tea and coffee are the most popular beverages, followed by

soft drinks (carbonated drinks and juices), health drinks, milk-based

drinks, flavored drinks, and energy drinks.

Half of the tea and coffee consumed in the country is sold unpacked.

The alcohol beverages market is estimated to be worth about $35

billion, with whiskey, beer, and wine as the most popular drinks.
The food and beverage market was estimated at US$ 30.12 billion in

2015 and is expected to reach US$ 142 billion by 2020, with a

compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.34%. The sector is

dominated mainly by traditional operators. The brands and restaurant

chains of both Indian origin and multinational shave not optimally

penetrated the market so far. The food and beverage sector has

evolved over the past decade, giving rise to exciting new concepts in

food and beverage offerings and new and innovative service elements.

Food and Beverages Market in India

In India, the food sector has emerged as a high-growth and high-profit

sector due to its immense potential for value addition, particularly

within the food processing industry.

Agriculture and Food Industry in India

Agriculture plays a vital role in India’s economy. Over 58 percent of the

rural households depend on agriculture as their principal means of

livelihood. India is the largest producer, consumer and exporter of

spices and spice products. India's fruit production has grown faster than

vegetables, making it the second largest fruit producer in the world.

Exports

In 2016-17, the total exports from this sector witnessed a positive

growth of 0.55% to reach US$ 24657.09 million, thus, occupying a share

of 8.92% in India’s overall exports. Indian agricultural/ horticultural and

processed foods are exported to more than 100 countries/ regions;

chief among them are the Middle East, South east Asia, SAARC

countries, the EU and the US.

Exports from Spices, which is the third largest export item from this

sector, witnessed a growth of 13.74%, occupying a share of 1.05% in

overall exports of the Industry to reach US$ 2890.58 million.

Exports from Fresh fruits witnessed a much faster growth of 16.76% as

compared to that of Fresh vegetables which witnessed a growth of

6.54%.

Major Export items in terms of value such as Buffalo Meat, Basmati Rice

and Sugar, occupying ashare of 34% in overall exports from this sector,

witnessed a negative growth of 3.55%, 7.35% and 13.3% respectively.

Exports from segment of all the processed items including Processed

Fruits and Juices, Miscellaneous Processed items and Processed

Vegetables witnessed a positive growth except for Processed Meat

which recorded a negative growth of 28.58%.

The Indian food industry is poised for huge growth, increasing its

contribution to world food trade every year. In India, the food sector

has emerged as a high-growth and high-profit sector due to its

immense potential for value addition, particularly within the food

processing industry.

Here are few Projects for Startup:

Ginger is one of the oldest and most important spices used in different

kinds of food preparation. Ginger possesses a warm pungent taste and

a pleasant odor, hence it has a wide use as a flavoring in numerous

food preparation, beverages, ginger bread, soups, pickles and many soft

drinks. There are two general types of ginger viz. fresh green ginger

used for the preparation of candied ginger (in sugar syrup) and dried or

cured ginger applied in the spice trade, for extracts, oleoresins and for

the distillation of its volatile oil. The main application of the ginger oil is

in confectionery, beverages, and baked products. An instant beverage

powder with non-polymer catechins contained at high concentration

has improved flavor and taste owing to reductions in bitterness and

astringency, and also provides improved flavor and taste and improved

stability in external appearance after reconstituted into a beverage. The

instant beverage powder contains the following ingredients (A) and (B):

(A) from 0.5 to 20.0 wt % of a purified product of green ginger extract

powder. Instant Ginger Drink with Creamer made from fresh young

roots, peeled and sliced, cooked in heavy sugar syrup, and then air

dried. After the process, it mixed with creamer for taste variant. The

instant ginger powder in the present is comprised of a powdery

concentrate composition containing non-polymer catechins, and is

taken as a reconstituted beverage by dissolving it in a liquid such as

deionized water or hot water. The instant beverage powder of the

present may desirably be taken as a reconstituted beverage containing

from 0.01 to 0.5 wt % of non-polymer catechins. the content of non-

polymer catechins in the instant beverage powder is set at from 0.5 to

15.0 wt % in the present invention, but may be set preferably at from

0.5 to 12.0 wt %, more preferably at from 0.6 to 10.0 wt %, even more

preferably at from 0.6 to 5.0 wt %. The setting of the content of non-

polymer catechins within the above-described range makes it possible

to readily digest a large amount of non-polymer catechins, and

moreover, to expect the physiological effects of non-polymer catechins.

The term "non-polymer catechins" as used herein is a generic term,

which collectively encompasses non-epi-form catechins such as

catechin, gallocatechin, catechin gallate and gallocatechin gallate, and

epi-form catechins such as epicatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin

gallate and epigallocatechin gallate. The concentration of non-polymer

catechins is defined based on the total amount of the above-described

eight non-polymer catechins. The purified product is next granulated

into a powder. The granulation may be conducted by either a dry

method or a wet method, but for obtaining a particle size suited for

dissolution in water or another drinking medium, wet granulation that

granulates by using the adhesive force of water or a binder is preferred.

Examples of preferred granulation methods include spray-drying

granulation, freeze-drying granulation, fluidized bed granulation and

tumbling granulation. The granulation can be conducted by using two

or more of these granulation methods in combination. The instant

drinks are available in a range of flavours: Orange, Raspberry, Cherry,

Kiwi, Mango, Cola, Peach, Tropic, sprite, Apple, Apricot, Fruit Punch,

Grape, Strawberry, Lemon, Pineapple, Ice tea Lemon, Ice tea Apple and

Ice tea Peach. The demand of ginger based beverage will ever

increasing due to its health benefits. It has good export, global and

domestic demand. There is good scope for new entrepreneurs.

MAHUWA OIL

Mahuwa is a tropical fruit. It is found in the month of April - July or

August - September. It is a fleshy green, yellowish or orange brown

when ripe, 2.5 to 5 cm long, 1-4 shining seeds. It’s total mass content

70% in seed, two kernels in a seed. 2.5 cm X 1.75 cm, oil content 46% in

latatolia and 55% in longitolia which are smaller in size. Mahuwa fruits

are taken and decartified to get kernels & then if is treated in the ghani

or expeller or solvent extraction plant to extract out oil from it. For the
processing of mahuwa oil two major ways are utilized, first one is

expeller process & second is solvent extraction process. About 35%

vegetable oil is imported in our country to meet the indigenous

demand. One of major reasons behind the non availability is that the

fruit itself is not available throughout the year. It is of pale yellow

colour. It is mostly used in soap making up to 45%, used in treatment of

wool of jute, for candle making, for edible purposes by tribals, used up

to 5% in vanaspati, medicinal application for skin diseases.

SOYALECITHIN

Lecithin is a synonym for phosphatidylcholine. It is the main lipid

component in biological membranes, like our cell membranes or cell

walls of plants. On the other hand, commercial lecithin is actually a

natural mixture of neutral and polar lipids, including glycolipids,

triglycerides, sterols, and small quantities of fatty acids, carbohydrates,

and sphingolipids. The polar lipid Phosphatidyl choline is present in

commercial lecithin in concentrations of 20 to 90%. Lecithin is a generic

term to designate any group of yellow-brownish fatty substances

occurring in animal and plant tissues, and in egg yolk, composed of

phosphoric acid, choline, fatty acids, glycerol, glycolipids, triglycerides,

and phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidylcholine,

phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylinositol). Lecithin is one of

the principal natural emulsifiers for the industry. It is used in many

products from food industrial chemicals to animal feed stuffs and

pharmaceuticals. Lecithin is unique amongst natural emulsifiers for the

sheer diversity of functions it performs in the food industry. Lecithin

that contains phosphatidyl choline is produced mainly from vegetable

sources, although it may also be found in animal and microbial sources.

Majority of commercial lecithin sold in the market today come from

soybean (mostly), sunflower, and grape seed. Soybean lecithin

comprises of phospholipids and triglycerides with minor amounts of

phytoglycolipids, phytosterols, tocopherols and fatty acids. Lecithin is

anti-oxidant and emulsifying agent. The multi functional properties of

emulsifying, wetting, colloidal and antioxidant properties make soya

lecithin to be an ideal food ingredient. It is an emerging application as

health protection food. Lecithin has been shown to lower total plasma

cholesterol. Pharmaceutical industry uses lecithin in a number of

formulations. For these applications, pure lecithin is needed, i.e. free of

all other substances, primarily oil and fatty acids. Soy lecithin consists of

three types of phospholipids; phosphatidylcholine (PC),

phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphotidylinositol (PI). It is

extracted from soybean oil and is generally used as a natural emulsifier

or stabilizer in various food applications. Lecithin's multifunctional

properties and its `natural' status make it an ideal food ingredient in

cake mixes, cheese, candy, salad products, chewing gum, chocolate,

dehydrated foods and margarine on account of it emulsifying, wetting,

colloidal and antioxidant properties. Lecithin is a combination of

naturally-occurring phospholipids, which are extracted during the

processing of soybean oil. The soybeans are tempered by keeping them

at a consistent temperature and moisture level for approximately seven

to 10 days. This process hydrates the soybeans and loosens the hull.
The soybeans are then cleaned and cracked into small pieces and the

hulls are separated from the cracked beans. Next, the soybean pieces

are heated and pressed into flakes. Soybean oil is extracted from the

flakes through a distillation process and lecithin is separated from the

oil by the addition of water and centrifugation or steam precipitation.

The present Indian demand is around 7500 tonnes per annum and the

export demand around 10500 tonnes per annum where as the global

demand is around 225,000 tonnes per annum according to estimate.

PLAIN CORN FLAKES & COATED CHOCO FLAKES

Corn flakes being one of most nutritious foods and is consumed as

breakfast food not only in India but-everywhere in the world.

Cornflakes are a very popular breakfast cereal manufactured from

maize. Cornflakes are an almost 0 fat, 0 cholesterol foods and contain a

high amount of fast acting carbs with dietary fibers. Breakfast becomes

interesting and nutritious with Choco Flakes. It is made from various

flour ingredients and is rich in dietary fibers, iron, vitamins and

minerals. Thus, it serves as the ideal breakfast option for children and

adults too.

Corn flakes and chocos are economical, convenient, nutritious and

flavourful food suitable for daily consumption. People getting

modernized they need some sophistication in their food also the need

of which fulfilled by corn flakes and chocos. The per capita consumption
of corn flakes and chocos has increased many times as compared to last

decade.

Presently, there are few leading companies manufacturing corn flakes

and chocos to cater to the need of upper strata of society, hoteliers,

clubs, hospitals etc. They are being used for many other purposes like in

hospitals, for manufacturing of starch, syrup and beer. Hence their

demand has been increasing constantly. Apart from Indian Market corn

flakes and chocos has very wide demand in foreign countries. India is

exporting corn flakes to African, Middle East and Gulf Countries. As a

whole there is a good scope for new entrepreneur with manufacturing

of good quality of product.

WINE FROM KINNOW FRUITS

Kinnow has acquired commercial importance and popularity owing to

its success under varied agro climatic conditions, response to inputs

and high economic returns. Its unique features like gad tree vigor, high

fruits yield, excellent fruits quality, higher juice and wider adaptability.

The peel of kinnow fruit contains very high amount of flavonoids like

naringin and neohesperdine, which makes them highly bitter. Kinnow

fruit juice is alcoholated with 21 vol % ethanol to fix complex

compounds of limonoids such as primary limonin, flavonoids and

naringin and to remove a bitter taste in short time. Kinnow is most

suitable fruit for making the wine. In India now demand of wine is
increasing day by day. So there is good scope for new entrepreneur to

enter in this field.

VANASPATI GHEE

The synthetic fats are known in India by different names such as

Vanaspati, Dalda Ghee, Hydrogenated Oil etc. Perhaps because

vanaspati ghee is manufactured with vegetable oils and there is not

much change in the components of vegetable oil after it has undergone

the process of refining and hydrogenation, the name Vanaspati has

been given to this refined oil. It has become one of the essential

commodities of the masses, and has replaced the pure ghee because of

its cheapness as compared to the pure ghee. It is very energetic due to

its good calorific value. It contains the vitamins, which is essential for

the human being. Vanaspati industry is one of the major food

processing industry in India. It has grown to a highly developed and

organized industry by now. It has been more used as cooking media

and rarely as a spread like ghee, butter etc. Since last ten years, it is
being accepted more as supplement to edible oils. A new entrepreneur

can confidently venture into this field.

SOYA BEAN OIL, SOYA PANEER & SOYA EXTRACT

Soya bean is one of the most important agro based product, which has

commercial value after the rice, wheat, maize etc. Today, soya bean is

an important source of protein and oil in human nutrition, especially in

Asia. In other parts of the world, soy based foods are consumed merely

due to its healthy image. Several health benefits have been found in soy

proteins i.e., Cardiovascular health, Bone Health, Menopausal

symptoms, Cancers, Cognition Glycemic Index, Weight loss/control.

Within soya products an increasing consumption around the world is

seen in soya products resembling dairy products like for instance milk,

yoghurt and ice cream. Soya bean has commercial value in the field of

vegetable oil, soya bean protein. Soybean oil is a vegetable oil extracted

from the seeds of the soybean (Glycine max). It is one of the most

widely consumed cooking oils. Soya milk is high in protein, low in fat
and carbohydrate and contains no cholesterol. Soya bean extract can

be used large vegetable protein source in the different food ingredients

and it can be used for the medicinal preparation for balancing of

protein. Increasing price competitiveness, and aggressive cultivation

and promotion from the major producing nations have given way to

widespread soybean growth-both in terms of production as well as

consumption. United States is the major producer of soybean in the

World.

LYCHEE JUICE

Lychee is one of the tropical fruits which is mainly available in Bihar,

and Eastern part of India. It is one of the healthy fruit juice. It will help

to grow the health. It is sweet tasty with good flavour. It is used by the

domestic people throughout the year. Sixty percent of the fruits are

edible. The processing of lychee juice is partly manual and partly by

machinery i.e. semi automatic machine & packing material used in this

process is glass bottle. This is an agriculture base product. There should

be range of more than one product to run the company throughout the

year. It will be good for the company to produce apple juice, grape juice

or lychee juice etc all together. There is good marketing scope of this

type of product India as well as in the European and Middle East

countries. As a whole it is good product and there is good scope for

new entrepreneurs.

RED CHILLI POWDER

Chilli is cultivated mostly as a rein-fed crop, but in areas of low rainfall it

is grown under irrigation. In the genetic area, it is a cold weather crop.

The crop is raised on a variety of soil. For cultivation as a rain fed crop,

well drained heavy soils which retain moisture should be selected. Chilli

powder is a well known name among the Indian people. All the people

in the world use this, irrespective of their region. Indians are using the

curry powder, contains more chilli. Consumption of chilli powder is

increasing, so the quantity required is increasing day by day. So this is

an industry, which a new entrepreneur can start without a second

thought.

OLIVE OIL

The olive is a species of small tree in the family Oleaceae and is of

major agricultural importance in the Mediterranean region as the

source of olive oil. Olive oil is a fat obtained from the olive (the fruit of

Olea europaea; family Oleaceae), a traditional tree crop of the

Mediterranean Basin. The oil is produced by grinding whole olives and

extracting the oil by mechanical or chemical means. It is commonly

used in cooking, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soaps and as a fuel for

traditional oil lamps. Olive oil is used throughout the world, but

especially in the Mediterranean countries. Olives can grow in water-

scarce desert regions because of their low water requirement. Olive

trees can adapt to a wide variety of soils, but prefer a soil with a

balanced pH (neither acid nor alkaline) that is rich in organic matter.

Growing Olive trees is a profitable business and olive trees have more
than 250 years of life and it can grow on barren lands. On an average an

olive plant produces 20 to 35 kg of olive fruits per year which contain

more than 12 % of oil contents. The olive plants start giving fruits at the

age of four to six years so cost incurred for initial four years is included

in pre operating cost in this pre-feasibility. Olive oil is widely used in

countries where fats are scarce. Olive oil is rich in monounsaturated

fats, antioxidants and vitamin E and is claimed to have a significant

effect on cholesterol. Using olive oil as a cooking medium can lower

blood pressure and prevent risk of heart attacks. There are numerous

other benefits of olive oil making it a vital addition in a healthy diet and

India’s CVD and diabetes issues can certainly be mitigated with this

heart-healthy cooking medium. Olives are now being looked at for use

as a renewable energy source, using waste produced from the olive

plants as an energy source that produces 2.5 times the energy

generated by burning the same amount of wood. The smoke released

has no negative impact on neighbors or the environment, and the ash

left in the stove can be used for fertilizing gardens and plants.
ADVANTAGES OF OLIVE: The Vitamin E contained in Olives is the body's

primary fat-soluble antioxidant. Anti-oxidants help to strengthen the

body's immune system; reducing the severity of asthma, cancer,

osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, premature ageing, as well as

delaying the effects of ageing. It is used as a balm, it fortifies and

moisturizes the skin, combating dry skin and softening it. It also

combats against acne. It helps against wrinkles and delaying the effects

of old age, help combat against strokes, heart-disease, high blood

pressure and diabetes. The decoction of olive leaves in water is

effective against mouth and lip ulcers and allergic dermatitis also. Tea

of Olive leaves helps against high blood pressure. MARKET POTENTIAL:

Olive oil in India is in its nascent stage accounting for just about 0.1

percent of the 3.5 million tons of the branded edible oil market in the

world’s second most populous country. The Indian consumer typically

adopts multiple oils at the same time. Oils are matched to recipes and

the intensity of usage varies. With this in mind and with imports

increasing to 6,798 MT there is a huge growth prospect in plantations.

These little green bulbs have the potential to change the fortunes of

farmers. The olive oil market in India is growing at a rate of 50 percent

and productions, beginning very soon, will increases this potential and

demand. Olive oil is finally creating a niche in India’s edible oil

market. Retail is the biggest segment accounting for 75-80 percent of

sales; the institutional segment is still small accounting for 30 percent

of consumption. With 60 percent of the national market being

controlled by 3 companies in India, and Spain and Italy accounting for

90 percent of the import, there is definitely a potential for other

companies and producers to enter the market and more are expected

to do so. The Indian olive oil market pegged at Rs 52 Crores until 2006,

is now (in 2012) at Rs. 380 Crores. With this expected boom to reach

Rs. 550 Crores by the end of 2012 and as per the Indian Olive

Association hopes to reach 2,5000 MT in 2020, international olive oil

manufacturers and producers are planning their early entry into the

Indian market.
BARLEY MALT

Barley Malt is germinated cereal grains that have been dried in a

process known as "malting". The grains are made to germinate by

soaking in water, and are then halted from germinating further by

drying with hot air. Malting grains develop the enzymes required to

modify the grain's starches into sugars, including the monosaccharide

glucose, the disaccharide maltose, the trisaccharide maltotriose, and

higher sugars called maltodextrines. Barley Malt also contains small

amounts of other sugars, such as sucrose and fructose. Barley Malted

grain is used to make beer, whisky, malted shakes, malt vinegar,

confections such as Maltesers and Whoppers, flavored drinks such as

Horlicks, Ovaltine and Milo, and some baked goods, such as malt loaf,

bagels and rich tea biscuits. Malted grain that has been ground into a

coarse meal is known as "sweet meal". Various cereals are malted,

though barley is the most common. Malting is the process of converting

barley or other cereal grains into malt, for use in brewing, distilling, or
in foods and takes place in a maltings, sometimes called a malthouse,

or a malting floor. Out of the total production of 14.5 lakh MT in the

country hardly 10% is used for Malt production. About 5-10% is

reportedly used for human consumption and about 4-5% is retained by

the farmers as seed. The large quantity of remaining barley is used as

feed for the animals. Any entrepreneur venture into this field will be

successful. Few Indian Major Players are as under Haryana Suraj

Maltings Ltd. Jagatjit Industries Ltd. John Distilleries Pvt. Ltd. Malt

SOFT DRINKS (COLA, ORANGE, LEMON, MANGO PULP, GINGER, CLEAR

LEMON 7UP TYPE)

Soft drinks are largely used in the society to serve any guest in the

house, in the commercial and industrial units to entertain the

customers. It sometimes acts as medicine also, for little stomach

problems or headache. It is used as drinks for recreation. There are

different types of printed packing material used for aseptic packing of

the finished products. Selection of flavor and taste is the main criteria

for manufacturing of quality soft drinks. There is good market available

in the summer season and less market in the winter season where

temperature falls down below 150C. There is very good market demand

for soft drinks.

TOMATO PULP

Tomato pulp is very much popular item derived from tomato fruit. It is

a ground form of tomato having only 6% solid content. A wide variety

of products are available by processing tomato pulp. Tomato pulp is

used for the production of a wide variety of tomato products like sauce,

ketchup, juice, etc. By adding proper additions and keeping under

specified conditions, tomato pulp can be preserved for a longer period.

Other items like puree and cocktail. Processed fruits and vegetables

have a very good potential in the export market. The food processing

industry has a higher employment potential with a relatively low

investment hence, there exists vast areas for new entrants for the

development of this industry.

MAYONNAISE

There are few unorganized and private companies engaged in the

manufacturing of Mayonnaise. It may be called the product is better

substitute product. For the product manufacturing basic raw materials

required vegetable oil, vegetable protein, milk protein, egg protein or

fat emulsifier salt and water. This is of two types (1) vegetable base

mayonnaise (2) egg base mayonnaise. Both the products are used as

food additive in the salad dressing and making sandwich. There are few

organized and few private factories engaged in the manufacturing of

mayonnaise. There is average growth of the product about 10%. It has

scope for export. It can be concluded that there will be good scope for

new entrepreneurs.
TUTI FRUITY FROM PAPAYA FRUIT

Papaya is second most nutritive food to Mango. Tuti fruity is made by

impregnating fruits with flavour & taste along with attractive colour. It

is useful in the preparation of other food items such as toppings. It

provides attractiveness as well as nutritive value to many food items.

Mostly used for toppings for breads, ice cream, fruit bar, pulao, cakes,

pastries, custard shrikhand & fruit salads etc. Fresh papaya is washed

and peeled, then pulping is done by mixing sugar so as to bring sweet

taste. Heating is done. Citric acid, colours & preservatives are mixed.

Dehydration is done. Big structure is cut into pickles and packed in

pouches for selling.

FLAVORED RAISINS

Raisin is prepared from the sound dried grapes of the varieties

conforming to the characteristics of Vitis vinifera L. processed in an

appropriate manner into a form of marketable raisin with or without

coating with suitable optional ingredients. The fresh grape industry in

the country is facing problems in marketing of the produce in both

domestic and international market and in such situation the maximum

benefits from grape cultivation can be derived by establishing the

processing industries for production of value added products like good

quality wine, raisin and juice which has market potential for domestic

as well as international market. Raisins can contain up to 72% sugars by

weight, most of which is fructose and glucose. They also contain about

3% protein and 3.7%-6.8% dietary fiber. Raisins, like prunes and

apricots, are also high in certain antioxidants, but have lower vitamin C

content than fresh grapes. Raisins are low in sodium and contain no

cholesterol. The amount of fructose and glucose present in raisins make

it an excellent source of energy. They also help in weight gain without

accumulating cholesterol. The presence of vitamins, amino acids and

minerals such as selenium, phosphorus, iron and magnesium facilitate

absorption of other nutrients and proteins in the body. Raisins are the

most popular dried fruit, accounting for about two-thirds of total dried

fruit consumption. As a whole it is a good project for entrepreneurs to

APPLE CHIPS

Apple is one of the delicious fruits. It contains vitamins, minerals,

enzyme, fruit juice etc. Apples can be preserved in the form of apple

chips by drying it. In normal drying apples pieces changed its color to

brown. There is very good market of apple chips. It can be sealed in the

aluminum foil. Apple chips are used as snack food. It can be used as

health care food, vitamins, minerals and substitute product. India is the

largest producer of fruits in the world. The fruit production in India has

recorded a growth rate of 3.9% whereas the fruit-processing sector has

grown as about 20% per annum. However, the growth rates have been

extensively higher for frozen fruits and vegetables than the dehydrated

fruits and vegetables. There is very good scope of apple chips. It can be

exported in the European countries. They have large demand of this

product. As a whole there is a good scope for new entrepreneurs with

manufacturing of good quality of product.

Apple is one of the delicious fruits. It contains vitamins, minerals,

enzyme, fruit juices etc. It is very good taste to eat fresh and its juice

also; processed fruit juice can be preserved for long time. Apples can

also be preserved in the form of apple chips by drying it. In normal

drying apples pieces changed its color to brown. But by accelerated

freeze drying process it can be dried without changing its color. 

For production of apple chips required plant machineries are

accelerated like freeze drier, apples grader, apple sizing or cutting, iron

or stone detector, conveyor belt, etc. All the above machineries mostly

indigenously available, otherwise it may be imported from European

countries or Asian countries like Taiwan, Japan etc. There are plenty of

Raw materials available in the North India (like Himachal, Jammu-

Kashmir etc.). There is very good market of apple chips. It can be sealed

in the aluminum foil. It can be exported in the European Countries.

They have large demand of this product. It can be stored more than 6

months in the vacuum packing without change its quality. As a whole

there is a good scope for new entrepreneur with manufacturing of

good quality of product.

PULPY FRUIT DRINKS (FRUIT JUICE WITH FRUIT PULP)

A freshly squeezed orange or fresh pulped and strained apple would

supply a fruit juice drink for immediate consumption, but to expect it to

maintain its quality for even a day or two was tempting providence.

Nowadays, with the benefit of ultra-high temperature (UHT)

pasteurization, aseptic packaging techniques and systems, pressed

juices can be stored for extended periods with very little deterioration

in quality. Previously, reliance had to be places upon the use of

preservatives and ‘classical’ pasteurization at lower temperatures

(70ºC+) and longer holding times. As businesses grew and production

and filling lines enlarged and developed, so did understanding of the

need for correct sanitization of the plant items. 

The progressive nature of the soft drinks industry has meant that

throughout its history there have been many innovative developments,

and in the early years these centered on the filling and packaging, or

containerizing, of beverages. During the second half of the twentieth

century, apart from the continuous move towards more efficient means

of production and marketing of bottled or canned soft drink products,

there was much progress in our knowledge of the constituents

responsible for perceived flavor notes. Advances in instrumental

analytical techniques have made it possible to identify those chemicals

in natural extracts (whether of fruit or botanical origin) that provide the

characteristic flavor profile.

Changes in lifestyles and awareness regarding the consumption of a

healthy and balanced diet have steered the growth of the global juice

market. As a result of the growing consumption of vegetable and fruit

juice, the global market for juice is likely to witness strong growth over

the forthcoming years. The market for fruit & vegetable juice has grown
at a steady rate over the last five years. Thus, due to demand it is a

good project for entrepreneurs to invest.

ENERGY PROTEIN BAR

Energy bars are often promoted as a quick snack, a supplement athlete/

sports person or those who done workouts energy bars are also an

excellent method for replenishing muscle energy store after sport. For
best results eat an energy bar 30-45 minutes before a race or workout

or eat small amount during in race or ride. Energy bars are convenient

in traveling and contain reasonable amount of fat, sodium, saturated

fat etc. Many energy bars are good source of high quality of protein

without the cholesterol and saturated fat of high animal protein

sources. Energy bars are being marketed heavily and multitude of

brands are available in supermarkets, drugstore, and health food

stores. Major energy bars are G Power Bar, Clif energy bar, Solow

Glycemic nutrition bar, Optimum energy bar, Probar, George Delights

just fruit bar, parley bar, soy joy nutrition bar etc. Power bar comes in

several types, the original, protein plus, power bar harvest (Power

harvest). The demand of energy, power bar is increasing day by day, so

there is wide scope for new entrepreneurs to venture into this project.

PACKAGED DRINKING WATER

Water quality and quantity are interdependent, interacting elements of

water system. The term water quality refers to the level of suitability of
water for specified purposes. Use of mineral water gradually increases

in India due so shortage of pure hygienic water and also increase the

knowledge of water because pathogenic micro organisms, which are

main reason of stomach problem. On this reason a part of the society

stored so use safe drinking water i.e. mineral water. There is increase

full life, major of the working group has to take travel from one place to

another place, by this time they are now habituate to use mineral

water. Major of the tourists are only habituated to take safe drinking

waters. Packed bottled mineral water is the only main resources in our

country to safe drinking water. On that base, it can be concluded that

scope of mineral water will be much more increased in the future.

Bisleri, which pioneered the packaged drinking water business in India,

catering to consumers need to have hygienic drinking water while on

the move or even at home, is literally changing its colors and going for a

makeover. The brand that was till now marketed as packaged drinking

water will now be available in a natural avatar. The natural water

segment, which accounts for about 5% of the total bottled water

segment, is expected to grow by leaps and founds as health awareness

and disposable incomes rise. The bottled water industry is worth Rs.

1,000 crore in India and is growing at 40% per annum. It is projected to

reach Rs. 5,000 crore. At present Himalaya leads the segment with a

50% market share. Any entrepreneur may go into this field, will be

successful.

Bottled Water means water intended for human consumption and

which is sealed in bottles and other containers with no added

ingredients except that it may occasionally contain safe anti-microbial

agent. Now a day’s safe and pure drinking water is major necessity for

human being. Bottled water industry, colloquially called, the mineral

water industry, is a symbol of new life style emerging in India. While a

large segment of the population is struggling to get access to potable

water supply, a new generation especially in the urban areas is getting

accustomed to bottled water paying handsome prices. PET is the most

extensively recycled plastic of the present time. Bottled water is

available in differently sized packaging from 200 ml (popular on flights)

to 500 ml (a huge hit among the youth) to 1 liter and 2 liter. Despite the

large number of small producers, this industry is dominated by the big

players Parle, Bisleri, Coca-cola, Pepsico, Parle Agro, Mohan Meakins,

SKN Breweries bottled water in the country when it introduced Bisleri

in India 25 years ago. Apart from domestic and commercial use of

packaged water, the Indian Railways is a huge potential market.

According to officials at Cheerio, the railway ordered 10,000 cases (of

12 bottles each) a day. In coming years the demand of packaged

drinking water will be increased very rapidly, so there is a huge scope

for new entrepreneurs to venture into this project. The bottled water

market is growing at a rapid rate of around 20% a year (down from 50

to 60%). At this growth rate, the Rs 7000 million per year market is

estimated to overtake the soft drinks market soon. Multinationals,

Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Nestle and others are trying to grab a significant share

of the market. There are more than 180 brands in the unorganized
sector. The small players account for nearly 19% of the total market.

The government decided towards end of the year 2000 to bring about

stringent guidelines for packaged water. All companies were made to

sell their products only under the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards)

certification mark. The BIS certification was made mandatory for the

segment from April 1, 2001. The bottled water is to be classified as

"food" and has been brought under the Prevention of Food

Adulteration Act. They would have to adhere to rules pertaining to

color, odor, taste, turbidity, total dissolved solids and aerobic microbial

count. There is a good scope and good market potential for new

Water is the necessity of our daily life, it’s so important for us that we

need clean, safe and sanitary water every day, and usually there’s a

more strict inspection standard in the more advanced country. Potable

spring waters containing, sulphur, iron, magnesium and other mineral

salts occurring in certain regions are claimed to be beneficial to human

metabolism. There are two kinds of drinking water in the market. One

is the natural water, which is called mineral water. The other is

processed water coming from underground or from the pipe of water

plant, which is called R.O. water, space water or pure water. Mineral

water comes from natural springs. It contains a lot of various kinds of

chemical goods such as potassium, magnesium and calcium, which are

healthy to our body. After the water is filtered and sterilized properly,

it’s our first choice to use it. However, the shortcoming is that the

source of mineral water is limited. On the other side, pure water

doesn’t contain any nutrition, but it’s easy to be obtained and very

clean after being processed. It tastes good with PH value 5-7? That’s the

reason why people like it very much. Pure water is processed through

different stages of a filter system such as sand, carbon, and Reversed

Osmosis System. The water is passed from 5 micron through 1 to 0.2

micron filter. After that, pure water can be filtered to remove harmful

materials with an efficiency of 96%. Uses Mineral water is bottled under

very hygienic conditions under strict quality control before being

marketed. Its major use is in five star Hotels and Hospitals where good

quality pure water is required for potable purposes. It is marketed at

places and regions where hygienic drinking water is not freely available.

Market Survey Bottled Water Bottled water industry, colloquially called,

the mineral water industry, is a symbol of a new lifestyle and health-

consciousness emerging in India. While a large segment of the

population is struggling to get access to potable water supply, a new

generation - especially in the urban areas - is getting accustomed to

bottled water paying handsome prices. The total size of the bottled
water market in India is estimated at Rs 20 bn. What is amazing is that

people are prepared to pay Rs 10 or more for a litre of 'simple' water -

especially when the cost of material input is negligible. The cost of

packaging can be as high as 15% to 35% of the price of the product. In

bottled water market, the cost of entry and the cost of exit is low. One

does not require much equipment to make bottled water. The bottled

water market is growing at a rapid rate of around 20% a year (down

from 50 to 60%). At this growth rate, the market is estimated to

overtake the soft drinks market soon. Multi-nationals Coca-Cola, Pepsi,

Nestle and others are trying to grab a significant share of the market.

There are more than 1800 brands in the unorganized sector. The small

players account for nearly 19% of the total market. Nevertheless, per

capita consumption of bottled water in India is less than half a litre per

year, compared to 111 litres in France and 45 litres in the US. The

consumption of smaller packs (500 ml) has increased perceptibly by

around 140%. Even school children are carrying the 500-ml packs in

their school-bags. The 20 litre jars have found phenomenal acceptance

in households and in work places. The growth trends in packaged

drinking water and a growing demand is indicative of the fact that

water and its variants will be the single largest beverage category,

growing and becoming at least 20 times of the current market size

within the next 10-12 years. The BIS certification was made mandatory

for the segment from April 2001. The bottled water was classified as

food and has been brought under the Prevention of Food Adulteration

Act. The producers have to adhere to rules pertaining to colour, odour,

taste, turbidity, total dissolved solids and aerobic microbial count. Few

KHANDSARI SUGAR

Sugar has served mankind as a source of energy and as a sweetening

agent the down of civilization. Khandsari is a kind of raw cane sugar

manufactured in India since ancient times. The majority of the

khandsari industry is mainly in Uttar Pradesh. Some khandsari is also

produced in Punjab, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Mysore. The

industry is largely running one a cottage scale. The production of

khandsari depends to a large extent on the price and availability of

white sugar. When white sugar is scarcity available and its price is high,

production of khandsari trends to increase. There is good scope for this

unit. Any entrepreneur can come in this field.

Sugar has served mankind as a source of energy and as a sweeting

agent the down of civilization. Sugar cane (Saccharum officinarum) and

sugar beet (Betu vulgaris) are the two principal sources of the world's

supply of sugar. Sugar cane is grown in tropical and sub-tropical

countries, while beetroot is sugar from sugar cane originated in India,

and from here, it spread eastwards to Malaya and China and westwards

to Persia and beyond. The sugar industry has steadily grown and has

become the backbone of the agricultural and rural economy in India.

Today, sugar is the second largest agro processing industry, next to the

textile industry. India is one of the largest producers of sugar in the

world, with a production of over 25 million tones.

Khandsari is a kind of raw cane sugar manufactured in India since

ancient times. After the advance of the modern vacuum pan sugar

industry in the country, the production of khandsari has been on the

decline. Khandsari sugar, except for small quantities exported, is

consumed wholly in the country itself. Khandsari sugar industry about

4% of the cane raised in India. The Khandsari sugar production, which

was originally confined to the State of Uttar-Pradesh only, is now

spread all over the country. It occupies an important place in the

country's sugar economy.

The sugar industry produces around 300-350 million tonnes (Mt) cane,

20-22 Mt white sugar and 6-8 Mt jiggery and khandsari to fulfill the

domestic consumption of sweeteners. The industry is able to export

around 1300 MW of power to the grid. Sugar industry is also involve to

make avail of sugar complexes by manufacturing sugar, bio-electricity,

bio-ethanol, bio-manure and chemical. These contribute about 1 per

cent to National GDP. Sugar industries in India remains regulated and

are a source of livelihood for 50 million farmers and their families.

Industry body Indian Sugar Mills Association has pegged India's 2019-20

sugar production estimate 282 lakh tonnes, down by 19.6% over 2018-

19 mainly due to decline in area under cane in Maharashtra and

Karnataka.

BESAN PLANT (GRAM FLOUR)

Besan is primarily prepared from grinding of Channa Dal. This is a very

important food. It contains large quantities of protein and vitamins. The

CFTRI, Mysore has also developed modern Dal Mill to have better yield

of improved quality. It is a very important ingredient for making Kitchen

Dish for men, women and children. It is very much used for making

pies, pakora, curry etc. It makes a very palable and crispy dish. It is a

very popular item. The demand of it is increasing at a very rapid pace.

Besan being economical item finds an easy access both to poor and as

well as lower evolves, a great demand of the product in their day-to-

day menu. In view of all the facts a new entrepreneur can confidently

venture into this field.

VERMICELLI BY AUTOMATIC PROCESS

Extrusion is defined as a process in which material is pushed through an

orifice or hole of given shape. The origin of the world comes from Latin

(exmeans out and trudere means thrust). The pushing force is applied
by using a piston or a screw. This process used in food, plastics and

pharmaceutical industries to make a variety of products. In food

applications, screw extrusion is predominantly used to make products

like breakfast cereals, noodles, flat, bread, soya meat analogues, baby

food, and snacks (chips and sev). Today’s extruder consists of one or

more screws encased in a metal barrel, attached to a drive motor. A

hopper at one end gives shape to the product. There are primarily two

pasta products sold in the Indian market noodles and macaroni. There

is good scope for new entrepreneurs.

COUNTRY LIQUOR FROM MOLASSES

From earliest times man has sought for beverages, which give him

refreshment and now some of them have become almost an essential

part of human diet. There are two kinds of beverages non-alcoholic and

alcoholic. There are some alcoholic beverages which are fermented but

are subsequently distilled is produced with the aid to yeast culture.

These strains bring about these fermentation one of the main alcoholic
beverages is the country liquor which is the poor men drink. Country

liquor has high intoxicating properties. In India IMFL (Indian Made

Foreign Liquors) is too much costly than country liquor so IMFL is not

available for a common man. But being cheaper the country liquor than

IMFL, it is used in huge amount. Worldwide production of country

liquors rises steadily each year, which attests the buoyand condition of

the producing industries. But whether future expansion will be along

the produced on whether the lesser known drinks will become more

popular, especially in the large consuming countries, is a matter for

speculation sugar factory by product molasses is the main raw material

for the production of alcohol with increased production of sugar and

availability of molasses more distilleries for the production of alcohol

could be set up in the sugar producing states. Subject to the

certification by the state excise commissioner that sufficient quantity of

molasses could be made available to the proposed unit without

disturbing the inter-state allocation of molasses made from that state

to the deficit states by the government from time to time. The demand
of country liquor is increasing rapidly, so there is wide scope for new

entrepreneurs. Few Indian Major Players are as under: Associated

NON-DAIRY WHIPPING CREAM

Dairy products are dairy base farm house products. It is mainly milk,

cheese, butter, ghee, cream etc where basic raw materials come out

from milk which is produced in dairy farm. Now milk is also

manufactured form agro based products like groundnut, soyabean as

basic raw material milk can be produced from agro products or from

animals like cows, buffaloes, goats etc. When cream is produced from

animal milk cream, it is called pure milk cream and when cream is

produced from agro product it is called whipping cream. Now, the

production of whipping cream is very large, as the demand of cream is

increasing steadily, there is substitute product also marketed. The

manufacturing process of whipping cream is depended on the selection

of raw material and further processing of end products. There is large

amount of raw material available in India and process technology is also

indigenous available. There is harnessing of cream from agro based

products. Produced cream is packed in clean printed material for

transporting from one place to another. The plant and machinery

associated with it is easily available. There is not necessary for

importing of any plant and machinery. As a whole the project has good

future and new entrepreneur may venture into this project.

India has a major agribusiness sector which has achieved remarkable

successes over the last three and a half decades. Unprocessed foods

are susceptible to spoilage by biochemical processes, microbial attack

and infestation. The right post harvest practices such as good

processing techniques, and proper packaging, transportation and

storage (of even processed foods) can play a significant role in reducing

spoilage and extending shelf life. The industry consists of segments like

processed fruits and vegetables, cereal based products, dairy products,

meat, poultry and fishery products, beverages and confectionary. The

global processed food market is estimated at $3.2 trillion. The Indian

food market is estimated at $182 billion. Food processing industry in

India is growing at 14% annum. The total food production in India is

likely to double in the next ten years and there is an opportunity for

large investments in food and food processing technologies especially

in areas of canning, dairy and food processing, specialty processing,

packaging, frozen food or refrigeration and thermo Processing. Fruits &

vegetables, fisheries, milk & milk products, meat & poultry, packaged or

convenience foods, alcoholic beverages & soft drinks and grains are

important sub-sectors of the food processing industry. A health food

and health food supplement is another rapidly rising segment of this

industry which is gaining vast popularity amongst the health conscious.

Coming to the snack food sector, application of modern technology has

helped in enriching the quality of produce. It has tremendous growth

opportunities in the country. Growing population, rapid urbanization,

changing consumer preferences etc are expected to keep the demand

increasing in future too. With a well-integrated supply chain and a good

marketing strategy, a tremendous opportunity lies for snack food

industry in India.

India's food processing industry is expected to benefit from this and

grow to around $260-billion from the present USD 200-billion in the

next 6-years, according to industry expert. It is estimated that potential

for processed foods is estimated to reach from Rs 8,200-billion in 2009-

10 to Rs13, 500-billion by 2014-15. India produces 41% of the world's
