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 household 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 per cent 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 per cent of manufacturing Gross Domestic Product (GDP), 13 per cent
of India’s exports and six per cent 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.
ABSTRACT
India’s vast agricultural resources alone creates 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. www.entrepreneurindia.co 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$482 billion
by 2020, driven by growth in organized retail, changing consumer
behaviour, and increasing consumerism in tier II and tier III cities.
EXISTING SYSTEM
households depend on agriculture as their principal means of livelihood. India is
the largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices and spice products.
India's fruit production has grown faster than vegetables, making it the second
largest fruit producer in the world. In 2016-17, the total exports from this sector
witnessed a positive growth of 0.55% to reach US$ 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, Southeast 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 a share of 34% in overall exports from this sector, witnessed a
negative growth of 3.55%, 7.35% and 13.3% respectively.
PROPOSED SYSTEM
Agriculture plays a vital role in India’s economy. Over 58 per cent 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. The food processing sector in India is a key sector for India's
development given the country's vast consumer base, that continues
to grow, and its strong food production base. There are huge growth
opportunities across the food value chain viz., cold chain solutions or
processed foods (both primary and value added foods). The food
processing sector also fits in well with the "Make in India" programme.
Given its significant production strengths across agricultural
commodities, India is well placed to be the Food Factory to the world
with a strong thrust on food processing and value added exports

Conclusion
past few years, driven by changing trends in markets, consumer
segments and regulations such as changing demographics, growing
population and rapid urbanisation are expected to continue in the future
and therefore, will shape the demand for value added products and
thus for food processing industry in India. Some of the sectors which
are relatively more attractive include Fruits and Vegetables, Meat,
poultry and fisheries, dairy products, snack foods and ready-to- make
items. Many foreign MNC’s such as Nestle, Kissan, McCain etc have
been successful by leveraging the India-advantage. The future of the
food processing industry is dazzling, with food safety, quality assurance
and hygiene norms gaining importance. The stringent rules laid by the
government are sure to take this industry to global standards. Hence it
will be a good idea to invest in this industry or to initiate a start-up if one
desires.
This paper aims to review previous studies related to the food
processing, i.e.: production systems of the food industry, as well as
the possibility of the application of mass customization concept in
the food processing.
