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 confectionery.

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. Health food and health food supplements are 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 mangoes, 30% of cauliflowers, 28 per cent of tea, 23% of cashews, 36 per cent of green peas and 10% of onions.The Indian diary sector is around $ 62 b and will grow to $108 b. The Indian food production is estimated at 500 million tonnes and food processing industry has immense potential.India is a large and growing market for food products as it is growing at about 1.6%annum. On the global food sector, the food products industry is expected to reach $3,137.2-billion by 2011.

In India, only 6% of total agro output of India is currently processed as against 80% in some developed countries leaving a large potential to be tapped in this sector.

The Indian government has formulated a Vision 2015, to triple the size of the food processing industry, from the current $ 70 b to around $ 210 b, enhancing her global share to 3%, increasing value addition to 35%, from the current 20% and raising the level of processing of perishables to 20%.The most promising sub-sectors includes -Soft-drink bottling, Confectionery manufacture, Fishing, aquaculture, Grain-milling and grain-based products, Meat and poultry processing, Alcoholic beverages, Milk processing, Tomato paste, Fast-food, Ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, Food additives, flavors etc.

How to Come Up With Agriculture Project Ideas?

The success of any agriculture-based project ideas begins with identifying the right business idea. If you are planning to start a profitable business in the agriculture industry, the first step will be to identify a project idea. I believe the following tips will help you come up with a practical project idea in agriculture.

1. Assess your Interests

You need to understand your interests in agriculture. You can start by making a list of various business areas in agriculture. These include dairy farming, horticulture, poultry, floriculture, agro-processing industry, etc. Next, review your interests and aspirations to identify an idea in these areas that are consistent with your interests. A business based on ideas that you have little personal interests may not survive future challenges.

2. Assess your level of Skills and Knowledge

The agriculture and agro-processing industry require continuous innovation and rebranding. You need adequate skills and knowledge in your preferred field. These skills help you to keep up with the high level of competition. If you have some skills in grafting tree seedlings or managing a hatchery or a slaughterhouse, let your business idea reflect that skill. 

3. Your financial ability

Consider the required financial inputs against your financial ability. You may also explore other methods or raising capital, such as bank loans or shareholding.

4. Market potential

I do not think you want to start a farming project or a msme food processing factory as a hobby; you want to make profits. Therefore, before you working on a project report, survey the market. Is the demand for your intended product adequate to sustain your business? What is the level of competition?  

Role of Agriculture and Agro Food Processing Industry

Agriculture is as old as human civilization. Today, it remains a key economic growth factor around the world. You notice that agricultural practices and the use of technology is very different between developed and developing countries. Whereas developed countries use farm machinery to lower costs and increase production, developing countries rely on human labor. Human labor is expensive and has lower efficiency. Agro food processing industries play a crucial role in modernizing farming and food processing.

We can summarize the role of agriculture and the agro-processing industry as follows:

  • Source of income to the farmers and manufacturers
  • Source of revenue to governments
  • Value addition to farm produce
  • Sources of employment
  • Reduce food wastage through processing and preservation
  • Enhance world food security

How to Set Up a Successful Food Processing Industry?

Do you want to start a food processing unit? Well, my task is to help you get started. Here are some tips that you might find helpful in starting a food production industry.

1. Get an Ideal Business Idea

There are many types of food processing project ideas. Know what you want to do and produce. Make a clear, precise description of your product, including its specifications and benefits to the buyer.

2. Carry out a Market Survey

Do some surveys and write a project feasibility report. This report helps you understand the market before you make your investment. From the report, identify how many food production companies there are in your locality. Get to know your competitors and the level of competition. Strategize on how to do marketing and branding to penetrate the processed food industry.

3. Develop a Management Structure

Clearly outline how you will manage company operations. This includes sourcing of raw farm produce, transport, storage, processing, marketing, etc.

4. Conform to legal requirements

Make sure you get all licenses relevant to food processing unit and packaging. Familiarize yourself with the requirements of the Food Safety and Drug Administration Authority and ensure full compliance.

5. Establish clear food safety procedures

You need to develop measures to ensure food that there is no contamination of food during either processing or packaging.

How Agro-Processing Technology helps in the Growth of Agriculture Industry?

When food-processing technology evolved during and after World War II, there was an increase in large-scale food manufacturing companies' lists. Trends in food distribution changed, and with it came a rise in quality of life.

The purposes of agriculture industry include:

  • Value addition for raw farm produce
  • Income generation for farmers
  • Reduce unemployment
  • Contribute to economic development

In the agro-processing industry, you will find a range of technologies. The simplest technologies include simple drying. More advanced technologies include irradiation techniques. I may categorize the role of technology in food processing companies into three areas of application:

1. Utilization of by-products

You can process residues such as hides, rice husks, and dung into useful products with appropriate technology.

2. Reduce farm loses

Without technology, tons of farm produce rot or lose value under storage. We can avoid this by:

  • Postharvest disinfection
  • Inducing dormancy
  • Extending produce shelf-life
  • Limiting the spread of food-borne infections
  • Improve food preservation

You can use irradiation, freezing, and other technologies to lengthen the shelf life of food processing products.

Project Report on Processed Food Industry

There are numerous profitable examples of most profitable food processing business ideas. You probably have your eyes set on one of them. Writing a food manufacturing business idea project report is one of the initial steps you must undertake. Some of the things you need to consider in your technical project report for a food-processing unit include:

1. Market Review

There are many business opportunities in the food production industry. Before you write that project status report, identify your target market. Find out if there are other manufacturers of the same product, you wish to introduce. Another thing you must establish is the demand for your product and current market prices. This should inform your production cost.

2. Technology

You can process the same food products in different ways. Find out the most affordable and acceptable production procedure and technology. Some consumers may also prefer foods processed in a particular manner. You should consider this in selecting your process.

3. Investment opportunities

If you develop an excellent industrial project report, you will tell whether your intended product is worth investment or not. An excellent investment opportunity should offer low inputs and high returns. Consult with food processing machinery manufacturers to establish the cost of machines and food processing equipment. Factor this on the production coast and compare with expected profits from the sale of your products.

Rice Flakes from Broken Rice (Used in Beer Industry)- Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Plant Layout

Rice flakes are tasty flakes that are created using rice grains. The process for creating rice flakes involves parboiling the rice, then flattening the grains to product a solid flake. There are a number of rice flake recipes used in Asian cuisine. Often in western countries, rice flakes are used to create cereals and different types of snacks. The creation of rice flakes begins with parboiled rice. This helps to soften the grain and prepare it for processing. Once the rice is tender, the cooked grains are rolled, and then flattened. The thickness of the flattened rice will depend on the amount of pressure that is applied which is then allowed to dry completely. The dried sheets are then run through another rolling process to create simple flakes. At this point in the process, the rice flakes may be packaged for use as a dry cereal, or used as an ingredient in recipes for a side dish, or used to create desserts or even snack foods. Rice flakes are known by several names such as flaked Rice, Beaten rice, Aval, Avalakki, Poha and Chiwda. Rice flake is one of the many traditional products in India. With this background, the CFTRI developed a process for improved Rice flaking. The improved process has the advantage of increase in yield and better quality products, besides economic utilization of by-products. Rice Flakes are produced from medium-grain rice and are widely used in brewing industry for clean and crisp beers. Rice Flakes can be used up to 40% of the total grist. Uses Rice Flakes are used as breakfast food. In India, rice flakes are famous by the names like poha/chiwda when cooked as breakfast meal. Rice flakes are mixed with milk when consumed as cereal. Wide application of Rice Flakes is in the application of beer industry to produce beer. One common use of rice flakes is to create a simple dessert that is somewhat similar to the rice pudding commonly served in Western countries. This approach involves adding milk and sugar to the rice flakes and allowing them to steep in the mixture for a short time. The consistency of the finished dish is somewhat like that of cooked oatmeal. Rice flakes can also be mixed with other dried grain flakes to create a tasty breakfast cereal. When combined with nuts and dried fruit, the rice flakes can also serve as a healthy snack alternative. A traditional dish using rice flakes is known as banhcom in Vietnam. Rice is harvested directly from the fields. Rather than parboiling, the rice is roasted and then flattened by hand using a mortar and pestle. This helps to remove the husk or hull of the rice grain. A range of spices is added to the flakes and the mixture is cooked long enough to allow the flavors to mingle. While rice flakes have traditionally been associated with food preparation in eastern countries, the flakes have become more readily available in the West in recent years. It is possible to purchase packaged rice flakes in most grocery stores and supermarkets that carry Asian foods. In addition, many health food stores carry rice flakes as both a cereal and a healthy ingredient for various types of vegetarian dishes. Market Survey Rice flakes from broken rice used in beer industries, which is cheap convenient and is an innovated concept. The product is used in beer industry which finds a prominent place in alcoholic beverages. It has an excellent domestic demand. In India about 32 beer units are registered with DGTD with a total installed capacity of the order of 132,200 Kilo Litres per year. The capacity utilization during the last few years has been around 156 percent. So, it has to be assessed that in the coming years the new unit may come up to production considering the 60% of the total licenses. Similarly demand is increasing day by day to meet the requirement of indigenous as well as export market. Formulations of beer manufacturing are done with the view of availability of the raw materials in that particular part of the World where the brewery is proposed to be established. In most of the parts of the world, barley is universal source of beer extraction. But, beers are manufactured from Chamomile flowers and powdered gingers etc. as well. The manufacturing processes and quality control measure can make the beer nutritious, energy packed and refreshing. Among all the alcoholic drinks beer has become so common. The Indian beer industry seems to be in upswing mode as 2006 seems to be the best year as far as the growth is considered. Last year there was a growth of 20% while in the last five years the industry registered a growth of 7 to 8% year on year basis. Industry analysts say tax and levies on beer are anticipated to fall over the next 2 to 3 years, driving down retail prices by25 to 50%. The per capita consumption of beer in India is very low as compared to other countries in Europe and America. At present the per capita consumption is 0.7 litre per annum, but industry experts predict that this may rise to around 20 litres in the next 10 years. Considering the expected increase in consumption and the current growth trends, the future of Indian beer market looks bright and seems set for continuous double digit growth in the coming years. The demand and consumption pattern is entirely related to the scope of beer industry in India. The market for flaked rice will predominantly consist of buyers from group especially of urban and semi-urban areas. Even the people of low-income group can also buy as the products are directly consumed along with jaggery and from coconut pieces by rural folk. BEER Presently, some 36 units are manufacturing beer in India with an estimated output of 670 mn litres. In consumption, India holds the 29th position with the annual consumption growing by 8% per year. Per capita consumption of beer is as low as half-a-litre as against 128 litres in Germany, 129 litres in New Zealand and 116 litres in Denmark. Even China has a per capita consumption of 20 litres. The Indian beer industry has shifted towards the strong beer segment. The ratio in mild-strong beer has shifted from 66:34 in 1993-94 to 45:55. In the mild beer, segment, Kingfisher, Golden Eagle and Royal Challenge are the main brands. In the strong beer segments Haywards 5000, Haywards 2000, Knockout, Khajuraho are dominant. In the standard segment of over 55 mn cases, United Breweries has the lion's share. Few Major Players are as under:- Arlem Breweries Ltd. [Merged] Arthos Breweries Ltd.

Packaged Drinking Water - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue

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 Major Players are as under:- Ajay Enterprises Ltd.

Mini Sugar Plant - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue, Plant Layout

Sugar is a universal sweetening agent and sugar – cane is the primary age - old source of it. Sugar cane is a very important industrial crop, containing for about 60% of sugar production in the world. Sugar, as sucrose is important for energy and metabolic activities. When sugar was prepared in the beginning, cannot be definitely stated, but brown sugar or gur (Jaggery) was the first known form of sugar manufactured from sugar cane as well as from wild date palm (phoenix sulvestris), Palmyra palm (Borassus Flapellifar), today palm (Caryota urens) and other palms contains 12-14% sugar in their sap tapped for the purposes. The main raw material for sugar production, i.e. sugarcane grows widely and efforts are constantly being made to bring more area under cultivation. Sugarcane is grown in tropical and sub-tropical countries. Another sugar yielding material, the best is grown in temperate regions. The best is an important raw material in many European Countries. Of the total sugar production in the world, cane sugar constitutes nearly 55 per cent. Two third of the total cane sugar comes from Cuba, Brazil India, Australia, Mexico, China, Philippines and U.S.A., South Africa, Argentina, Mauritius and Egypt are also important cane producers. The sugar industry in India is second largest, next to textiles. It has an investment of Rs.1500 crores employs 3, 00,000 people, besides the industry provides sustenance to 25 million cultivators. The contribution of industry to the public exchequer by way of excise, cases and taxes, is substantial. Also it is an important foreign exchange earner to the country. Uses & Application SUGAR:- As such sugar used as sweetener in food product, like Jam, Jellies, Bread Biscuit & Cake etc. Industry It has largest use as domestic purposes also. It is also used as raw material for the fermentation Industry. Product uses & applications:- The various end uses of sugar are mainly in the following products:- Beverages Bakery, cereal and allied products. Confectionery and related products. Canned, bottled, and frozen foods, jellies etc. Ice Cream and dairy products. Sweets Used in households, restaurants and hotels in a number of food products. Pharmaceuticals. Market Survey India is now the largest consumer of sugar in the world and was expected to overtake Brazil in production. Although subject to cyclical fluctuations, sometimes violent ones, sugar production has grown phenomenally during the last decade. The drop in production and increased consumption put pressure on sugar prices. According to Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) production in 2008-09 was estimated at 14.7 mn ton against previous year production of 26.3 mn ton. The government permitted its trading agencies like MMTC and others, such as STC, NAFED and PFC to import sugar to control prices. According to industry estimates, import contracts for close to 2 mn ton sugar have already been signed by various companies and another 500,000 ton are likely to be contracted by the end of the season, while over 1.85 mn ton of sugar has arrived. Most of these imports are sourced from Brazil. In India prices have moved up by nearly 50% in the season. The annual variations in sugar production are a result of alternate sweeteners Jaggery and Khandsari claiming more of sugarcane in times of fall in crop. With passage of time, sugar industry has been liberated from 100% procurement of sugar by government; the existing level of procurement is only 10% of the production. This has to a large measure, provided a level playing field between sugar and alternate sweeteners. The Indian Sugar Mills Association had been in favor of futures trading in sugar to provide a cushion to the industry once decontrolled. The National Federation of Cooperative Sugar Mills, the apex organization of 250 cooperative sugar mills accounting for nearly 60% of country's sugar production, did not support it. The government, however, removed all restrictions on sugar exports and permitted commencement of future trading in white sugar. Futures contracts are traded in four exchanges, the three National Multi Commodity Exchanges (NMCEs), the National Commodities and Derivatives Exchange (NCDEX), and the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), besides E-Sugar Ltd.

Banana Products (Banana Powder, Banana Puree and Banana Concentrate)- Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study

Banana is the largest produced and maximum consumed amongst the fruits cultivated in India. It is known as the ‘common man’s fruit’. It is highly nutritive and very delicious. India ranks first amongst the banana cultivating countries of the world with an annual production share of 25% of the total harvest. During the past two decades the large-scale cultivation of this fruit crop has undergone considerable changes. Banana is perhaps one of the major crops, which has accepted tissue culture as a mode of propagation especially in India. Shorter harvest times and enhanced yields have popularized the cultivation of this fruit crop with respect to the area of cultivation and production by tissue culture methods. Banana fruits are available in plenty in the Tropical countries like India, and a sizeable quantity of this fruit is wasted due to poor transportation and storage facilities. Banana when ripened is a soft and delicate fruit with a post-harvest shelf life of 5- 10 days. This makes it prone to injury during transport. Further, release of ethylene during bulk storage makes the fruit ripen faster and the fruits generally rot before reaching its destination. Hence, it has always being considered a ‘problem fruit’ with respect to transportation. These reasons contribute to a local market glut, resultant price crash and subsequent disinterest among the farming community to cultivate it on a large scale. It is hence important to overcome this problem by generating an increased demand of this fruit crop. Bananas are packed with many of the nutrients that your baby needs. Sometimes referred to as a power food, it's got the perfect combination of being rich in potassium but low in sodium, making it a heart-healthy fluid. Additionally, it has an abundance of vitamins, particularly Vitamin B6, Vitamin C and Vitamin B2. Filled with those healthy vitamins and nutrients, but low in cholesterol, saturated fat and sodium, you can feel confident offering it to your baby. Just a word of caution, though known for settling upset tummies and diarrhea, eating too many bananas may lead to constipation. Banana being a ‘common man’s fruit’ is consumed in following forms: Banana Powder, Banana Puree, Banana Juice concentrate etc. Uses Banana powder, because of its high concentration of banana essence, has been found to be a major source of carbohydrate and calories . The powder has also been found to be useful as a general treatment for dyspepsia. while it is in its green state, it contains starches which are resistant to digestion, but have been studied in combination with pectin to significantly reduce intestinal permeability and fluid loss in those suffering with bouts of diarrhoea Banana powder has been studied to prevent ulcer formation induced by a variety of drugs, including aspirin, indomethacin, phenylbutazone, prednisolone, cysteamine, and histamine. Banana peel has been found to suppress testosterone-induced prostate gland enlargement. A water extract of banana stem extract has been found to suppress the formation of oxalate-associated kidney stones in the animal model, leading researchers to conclude that it may be a useful agent in the treatment of patients with hyperoxaluric urolithiasis. UV-B light induced skin damage may be prevented or reduced through the consumption of bananas, with a protective effect against loss of skin elasticity. Banana root extracts have been discovered to contain blood sugar lowering properties Banana contains compounds with demonstrable anti-MRSA activity, anti-HIV replicative activity, and following metabolic transformation by fungi, anti-leishmanicidal activity. Market Survey Banana is an important fruit crop of many tropical and subtropical regions of India. It is cultivated in India in an area of 830.5 thousand hectare and total production is around 29,779.91 thousand tons. Main banana growing states are Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. The global production of banana is around 102028.17 thousand tons of which India contributes 29.19%. Besides India, other major banana producing countries are China, Philippines, Ecuador, Brazil and Indonesia. Banana Puree or Banana Pulp is processed from a selected variety of banana grown in the sub-tropical region of South India. The Cavendish banana puree (banana pulp) obtained from Indian bananas is considered best in quality owing to the superior size, flavor, taste and thickness of the Indian bananas. Banana Puree is widely mixed into daily food, juices, nectars, drinks, jams, bakery fillings, and fruit meals for children. Banana puree or banana pulp is used as flavor for baby foods, ice creams, yoghurts. Banana yoghurt makes a healthy snack and banana ice cream, milk shakes and delicious desserts are favorites among children. The demand of Banana Products in market is increasing rapidly due to nutritive and medicinal characteristics of it. India is one of the major country producing banana and its derivatives. Banana Derivatives includes: Puree, Ice-Creams, Fruit breads, cakes, tarts, muffins, pie-fillings, icings, donuts, fruit bars, milk shakes, yogurts, puddings, toppings, deserts, baby food, etc.

Cattle Feed - Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue, Plant Economics, Cost of Project

The principal feed resources for animal consumption in the country are crop residues like straws of wheat, rice and other cereals and stovers, which are very poor in feed value. Even these are in short supply. These are supplemented to some extent by relatively better quality fodders like cultivated leguminous and non-leguminous fodder grasses and concentrates. The latter are formulated largely from agro-industrial by-product and forest wastes and small quantities of low-grade cereals with the present stock of feed and fodder resources available in the country, it is well impossible to meet the nutrient requirements of even the present day low-producing cattle and buffaloes. Such a situation is bound to aggravate difficulties in the feeding of better producing livestock such as cross breed lows in exploiting their full genetic potentiality for early growth, better reproduction and higher milk production. Livestock in the country, therefore, suffer widely from insufficient supply of nutrients. The unconventional agro-industrial by products and forest wastes may find a greater use as livestock feeds in coming years. The nutritive value of tropical feeds and fodder is lower than those grown in temperate region. This situation does not allow cows to consume maximum amount of feed, nor to get feed of minimum allowable digestibility. It is not possible to anticipate any remarkable improvement in the feed situation in the near future and also in the supply of high digestible ingredients like worse grains. The digestibility of feed for meeting nutrient requirements of the cattle must bear relation to its intake capacity. Market Survey Cattle feed is a peculiar product consumed mainly by cattle owners of rural area. Animal industrial enterprises in all area and so, the market for cattle feed is very scattered. The consumers are living by and large in poverty and so they have hardly enough finances to spare for cattle feed. Yet cattles are the only source of earring in many cases and to increase their own earning they try to spend upon cattles as much as possible. Unawareness about the product and its importance should also be looked after. The benefits of this scientifically prepared cattle feed over traditional feed has become as popular as they should be. The problem is much of replacing unscientific feeding system with scientific feed. Estimation of Demand on the Basis of Various Macro Factors: - Broadly there are five factors affecting demand. Population of cattle and its composition. Financial Position of Farmers. Awareness of Farmer to the production. Auality of available cattle feed. Government policy and the program of cattle development. India has the largest cattle, buffalo and goat population according to latest census. There are about 200 million cattle, 50 million buffaloes and 90 million goats in the country. About one sixth of the cattle, about half of buffalo and one fifth of goat population in world are in India. Animal husbandry plays an important role in the national life and accounts for about 10% of the national income. In particular the contributor of the cattle and buffalo to the economy is considerable. They are the main source of drought power in agricultural operations and rural transportation they provide essential, foods like milk and meal.

Dehydrated Onions (100% E.O.U.)

Onion is one of the most important commercial vegetable crops grown in India. Both immature and mature bulbs are used as vegetable and condiment. It contains vitamin B and a trace of vitamin C and also traces of iron and calcium. The outstanding characteristic of onion is its pungency, which is due to a volatile oil known as allyl-propyl disulphide. Onions compared with other fresh vegetable are relatively high in food energy, intermediate in protein content and rich in calcium and riboflavin. Dehydrated Onions have been produced in small quantities since the nineteenth century. The main advantages of dehydrated onions are that they are easy to store, being lighter in weight and smaller in bulk than fresh or other processed onions. They are cheap to pack compared with canned goods. They do not require refrigerated storage as do frozen onions and the contents of a container can be used some time after opening provided they are not dehydrated. The newest dehydration process appears to be a variation on the air-drying process and is based on the principle of vapor pressure differentials, using air circulated around the onions at relatively low temperatures to `sweat' the water from the food. It is reported that this method of dehydration prevents a crust forming on the outside of the pieces of food and that the low temperatures have less effect on flavor, texture, color and vitamin contents of onion then, of the higher temperatures used in conventional hot air-drying methods. Uses & Applications Dehydrated onions are used chiefly as a constituent in various food products i.e. they are sold to manufacturing concerns as an industrial raw material and demand for dehydrated onions is a function of the demand of these food products. However there is a demand for dehydrated onions for use as curlinary onions, both by large catering concerns - institutions and industrial canteens; and for domestic use. The other use of dehydrated onions is in the manufacture of dried soups-once virtually the sole outlet for these products, but now declining in relative importance, as other applications including use in canned soups and stews, baby foods, fish, meat and bakery products and more recently in dried `ready-meals' have been developed. Most popular applications Pizza and other fast food, snack foods, food service packs, stuffing mixes, pickled products, meat products, sea food products, gravies, canned foods, salad dressing, dips, bottle packs, pet food, rice mixes, soups, potato salad, seasoning, wet and dry salsa, specialty foods, curry powder, bakery topping, gourmet sauces, seasoning and in many other snacks or as ingredients. ? Market Survey Onion is an important vegetable crop grown in India and forms a part of daily diet in almost all households throughout the year. India is the second largest producer of onion in the world. Onion is one of the most important but perishable groups known. It is also used for medical purpose. But due to non-availability of appropriate post-harvest storage facilities, 20-25% of the total produced onions are wasted, which in terms of value amounts to crores of rupees. 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. Among various methods of preservation, dehydration of vegetables is one of the most popular and oldest methods. Dehydration increases the storage period of vegetables and make them available throughout the year and even in off-season, thus supplying the important nutrients in a concentrated form. Almost all dehydrated onion products like - kibbled, sliced, rings (half & full), large kibbled, minced (in various cut sizes), chopped, granulates and powder forms has good potential in food processing industries, defense, pharmaceutical industries, hotels and restaurants, caterers, etc. In India dehydration of many food products especially vegetables and some fruits are in practices at home and industry level throughout year. There are some nutritional loses but these products are useful in many food preparation, it is readily available for Whole year. 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 to Rs13, 500-billion by 2014-15. India produces 41% of the world's mangoes, 30% of cauliflowers, 28 per cent of tea, 23% of cashews, 36 per cent of green peas and 10% of onions. The Indian food production is estimated at 500 million tonnes and food processing industry has immense potential. India is a large and growing market for food products as it is growing at about 1.6% annum. Non-availability of onion during off-season creates major problem in the market. Hence, if they are processed and stored during peak season and made available during this period, then they command premium. With growing incomes, changing lifestyles and hectic daily schedule, market for dehydrated onion is growing especially in urban areas. Dehydrated products are the largest export products for international markets & international clients who desire for quality products. These products are 100% export oriented to countries like UK, Canada, Germany and many more.

Diabetic Food - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue, Plant Economics

Diabetic diet refers to the diet that is recommended for sufferers of diabetes mellitus. There is much controversy regarding what that diet should consist of. The diet most often recommended is high in dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, but low in fat (especially saturated fat) and low in sugar. Recommendations of the fraction of total calories to be obtained from carbohydrate are generally in the range of 40 to 65%, but recommendations can vary as widely as from 16 to 75%. Diabetics may be encouraged to reduce their intake of carbohydrates that have a high glycemic index (GI), although this is also controversial. (In cases of hypoglycemia, they are advised to have food or drink that can raise blood glucose quickly, such as lucozade, followed by a long-acting carbohydrate (such as rye bread) to prevent risk of further hypoglycemia.) A sugar substitute is a food additive that duplicates the effect of sugar in taste, usually with less food energy. Some sugar substitutes are natural and some are synthetic. Those that are not natural are, in general, called artificial sweeteners. The majority of sugar substitutes approved for food use are artificially synthesized compounds. However, some bulk natural sugar substitutes are known, including sorbitol and xylitol, which are found in berries, fruit, vegetables, and mushrooms. Some non-sugar sweeteners are polyols, also known as "sugar alcohols". These are, in general, less sweet than sucrose but have similar bulk properties and can be used in a wide range of food products. Sometimes the sweetness profile is 'fine-tuned' by mixing with high-intensity sweeteners. As with all food products, the development of a formulation to replace sucrose is a complex proprietary process. Market Survey Type II diabetes has emerged as a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. In 2010, an estimated 285 million people were living with diabetes. The number of people with diabetes in developing nations is expected to rise 69% by the year 2030 – outpacing even the ‘pessimistic scenario’ forecasts of earlier global disease models. In 2007 around 23.6 million Indians, had diabetes. Another 57 million Indians have what is called pre-diabetes, in which individuals have higher than normal blood glucose levels, but not enough to be classified having diabetes. Many of these individuals will be diagnosed with diabetes in the future and also have a higher risk of developing heart disease and having a stroke. The market opportunities for bulk, intermediate, and consumer diabetic foods are significant. The overall size of the diabetic packaged food market reached US$ 282.9 in 2009. Packaged foods that are labeled as "suitable for diabetics," low–glycemic (i.e. foods containing carbohydrates that do not cause a large rise in blood glucose), or low in sugar, are particularly good growth markets. As the number of consumers with diabetes rises, naturally healthy foods, in both packaged and non-packaged formats, will also benefit from diabetic trends. Less processed foods that may not include labels or product claims, such as fruits and vegetables, lean meat; low-fat dairy products and whole grains are often recommended by doctors for individuals with diabetes, as well as the general public. However, producers of these naturally healthy foods may even benefit from labelling claims promoting their natural health benefits, as added incentives for people with diabetes to purchase them. Sometimes the simple words "suitable for diabetics" on product packaging (along with nutritional values and ingredient information to back up the claim), provide consumers with added confidence that they are choosing the right product for them. In the global market today, there is a clutter of diabetic snack bars such as those with uncooked cornstarch to prevent hypoglycemia (low blood glucose level) or with resistant starches to reduce hyperglycemia (high blood glucose level). These bars also contain fiber and sugar alcohols. There are also 'diabetic', 'low carb', 'diet', or 'light' drinks, green teas, jams, spreads, cakes, pies, and desserts, adding to the crowd of options available. As far as sweeteners go, the wave of Aspartame-related consumer complaints has dented the credibility of artificial sweeteners and strengthened the case for naturally occurring sweeteners such as tagatose. The FAO/WHO's Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) recently recommended tagatose, a new, naturally occurring, low-calorie sweetener, for use as a food additive. This sweetener, developed by the biotechnology firm, Spherix, has been declared Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) in the United States. Among the ingredients that are gaining prominence in the diabetic's diet are fenugreek seeds (rich in carbohydrates and soluble fiber), ginseng (one of the most widely used herbs worldwide), and insoluble dietary wheat fiber. Antioxidants, such as lycopene from tomatoes and tocotrienols, and tocopherols from oil seeds and cereal, are known to help prevent diabetes. In the weight-loss product market, widely used insulin aids include chromium picolinate (chromate), chromium polynicotinate, conjugated linoleic acid, and hydroxycitric acid.

Potato Starch

Potato is widely consumed as food all over the world. It contains the starch as a major carbohydrate. Surplus and cull potatoes are used as feed for livestock and also as raw material for the manufacture of starch, ethyl alcohol and a few other industrial products like, dextrose, liquid Glucose etc. The potato contains approximately 18-21% of carbohydrates. The major carbohydrate is starch. This starch comprises 65-80% of the dry weight of the tuber, is calorifically the most important nutritional component. Potato starch is starch extracted from potatoes. The cells of the root tubers of the potato plant contain starch grains (leucoplasts). To extract the starch, the potatoes are crushed; the starch grains are released from the destroyed cells. The starch is then washed out and dried to powder. Potato starch is a very refined starch, containing minimal protein or fat. This gives the powder a clear white color, and the cooked starch typical characteristics of neutral taste, good clarity, high binding strength, long texture and a minimal tendency to foaming or yellowing of the solution. Potato starch contains approximately 800 ppm phosphate bound to the starch; this increases the viscosity and gives the solution a slightly anionic character, a low gelatinization temperature (approximately 140 °F (60 °C)) and high swelling power. Starch is a tasteless, odorless, white amorphous powder, insoluble in water. All green plants store starch as nourishment for the future. Starch is one of the fundamental substances in the vegetable kingdom and is in existence abundantly in the natural world. Uses Starch is mainly used as material both in the manufacture of food and non-food products. In food processing a lot of starch is converted to starch hydrolysate. It is also used as a thickener in soups and gravies. Pre-gelatinized potato starch is used in considerable quantities in instant puddings, in which its properties are preferable to those of cereal starches. It is used in confectionery industry as a medium for molding cast candies such as jelly beans and gum drops, as a thickening agent in synthetic jellies, for sauces, soups, and stews. Potato starch tolerates higher temperatures than cornstarch when used as a thickener. It's a natural way to add moistness to many baked goods and as a dusting agent mixed with powdered sugar, for candy gums, chewing gums etc. It is also used in producing adhesives and dextrin’s, as a fermentation raw material, binder for tablets, and binder and extender for sausages. Starch derivatives are used in many recipes, for example in noodles, wine gums, cocktail nuts, potato chips, hot dog sausages, bakery and instant soups and sauces, in gluten-free recipes in kosher foods for Passover and in Asian cuisine. In pastry, e.g. sponge cake, it is used to keep the cake moist and give a soft texture. It is also occasionally used in the preparation of pre-packed grated cheese, to reduce sweating and binding. Market Survey Potato is a starch rich material with about 12-25 per cent starch in Indian varieties. In India, production of starch from potatoes is limited due to availability of cheaper sources of starch such as maize and tapioca. The pattern of world potato utilization indicates that over 2.8 per cent potato is used for starch extraction. The enormous amount for waste potatoes available, if used for starch production would not only result in value added products, but will also generate employment and save foreign exchange, it will also reduce cost of starch production from potatoes. The global starch consumption is expected to grow from 13.6 million tons in 2012 to 16.28 million tons by 2017, at an estimated CAGR of 3.5% from 2012 to 2017. The North America region is expected to continue its dominance on the global modified starch consumption, however, due to the increasing impact for demand of convenience health food, functional food, and the need to focus on alternate sources of starch, the Asian sub-continent is expected to drive the growth of the industry for the next few years. China and India are the leaders in the APAC market, driving the demand for modified starch because of the changing lifestyles and growing economies, boosting the need for convenience food sector. A second large consumer of starch hydrolysis products is the fermentation industry. Many fermentation processes run on starch hydrolysate. This is partly for cost reasons and partly because the organisms in use have been trained to prefer glucose to saccharose. The only exception is yeast, which traditionally grows best in molasses. Markets for virtually all fermentation-derived products, whether they are penicillin based, citric acids or amino acids, expand at high rates and add to the demand for starch hydrolysis products. Minor applications of starch syrups include their use in the manufacturing of sugar alcohols, particularly of Sorbitol; low calorie content and high degree of sweetness make sorbitol ideal for a number of different foods. Overall, the markets for starches and derivatives are expected to expand on a global scale at a substantial rate. Few Indian Major Players are as under Amaravati Agro Ltd. Bharat Starch Inds. Ltd.

Pickles (Various Types)- Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue

Pickle is a general term used for fruits or vegetables preserved in vinegar or brine, usually with spices or sugar or both. Pickle producing businesses are engaged in producing pickle in different varieties. Natural fruit and vegetable items are used as raw material for producing various types of pickles i.e. mango, beet, cabbage, cauliflower etc. Pickles are considered the permanent part of the food table all over the Sub-Continent and its demand is rising after its production on commercial scale. Sub-continental spices, preserved foods and traditional methods of cooking and food making have always been attractive to the world. Pickling is one of the oldest methods of food preservation. Indian pickles play an important role in fruit and vegetable preservation industry. Pickles are a very familiar term known to every locality especially in India. These are being used in India & other countries as food adjuncts and known to impart flavor & taste to the food. They increase the appetite by stimulating gastric secretion and to a certain extent supplement the food with additional minerals and vitamins. Green/slightly under ripe fruits and vegetables are most suitable for making pickles. Salt, Vinegar (8% acetic acid) and lactic acid/Glutomic acid are the important constituents/ingredients used in pickling processes. These substances when used in adequate amounts, act as preservatives either singly/collectively. The preservation of food in common salt/vinegar is called pickling. Spices & oil are also used. In order to ensure good results, the final % of acid (as lactic acid in the finished product) should not be below 2. To avoid dilution of the vinegar by water from their tissues, the vegetables are generally put in strong Vinegar of 10% acidity for several days before final packing. Bacteria prefer little/no acid for their growth. Uses Mainly, these top products are used as eatables & food. Particularly all these products of sauces pickles, squashes, Morabbas etc. are used in dining table. It has very good taste to have such drinks during unfilling. It is used for being appetizing. These are used in different hotels and restaurants, in the academic institutions and messes. In the military canteens and the officers mess people used to have them in larger quantities. Market Survey In India, the pickles are being manufactured by a number of units. The manufacturing process is simple and the top product is having great demand. There is not now-a-days much competition for these products in the market. The consumption is increasing every year. The demand of Indian pickles in foreign countries is quite high. Thus the exporters are getting high orders for good quality of products. The plant and machinery are available indigenously. There is good demand for pickles in Andhra Pradesh and Orissa and also good export market. Today a large number of branded products are in the market. Brand name is crucial in market. If the manufacturers maintain the high quality and hygiene, the products can move easily in the market. There is big competition in the market, even though there is good market scope in domestic as well as in overseas markets. Main key factor in Pickle production include purchase of raw material at a time when it is available in economical price. Therefore, seasons when vegetables and fruits i.e. mango, carrot, Garlic and Cucumber etc. are easily available at low price would be critical. Besides that, for the product penetration purpose, it would be necessary to select potential consumer market which is generally considered lower or middle class areas with dense population. Although a pre-requisite for deciding on the product type, it is necessary to carefully evaluate the existing competition present in the locality and the product mix being offered by them. Promotional activities have a significant influence on revenue generation. Pickle production, packing & marketing business is unique in the sense that this is a common item of our daily life. However, it is very important to focus on promotional activities to ensure a constant stream of business. Mostly the pickle business operators promote their products by announcing different schemes like “buy 2 get 1 free” or giving cutlery items on purchase of the product, etc. Besides, jars used for the packing purposes are also made attractive and re-usable for another purpose after the pickle has been used.

Animal Feed from Bagasse - Manufacturing Plant, Detailed Project Report, Profile, Business Plan, Industry Trends, Market Research, Survey, Manufacturing Process, Machinery, Raw Materials, Feasibility Study, Investment Opportunities, Cost and Revenue

The increase in population and rapid growth in world economies will lead to an enormous increase in demand for animal products, a large part of which will be from developing countries. Future hopes of feeding the millions and safeguarding their food security will depend on the enhanced and efficient utilization of alternative feed resources that cannot be used as food for humans. In addition, a large area of land in the world is degraded, barren or marginal and the amount is increasing every year. This also calls for identification and introduction of new and lesser known plants capable of growing in poor soils, which can play a vital role in the control of soil erosion in addition to providing food and feed. Application of agro-industrial by-products in bioprocesses may serve a dual role in providing alternative substrates, and help to reduce environmental pollution that their disposal may otherwise cause. Bioconversion of fibrous materials by solid-state fermentation (SSF) has received increasing interest in producing animal feeds due to its lower energy requirement, low effluent generation, and direct applicability of the fermented products for feeding and partly because of environmental concerns regarding the disposal of solid wastes. Sugarcane bagasse is a fibrous residue of sugarcane stalks left over after the crushing and extraction of the juice. Bagasse with its low ash (2.4%) content offers numerous advantages in comparison to other crop residues such as rice straw and wheat straw which have 17.5 and 11.0% ash contents respectively, for usage in bioconversion processes using microbial cultures. In addition, bagasse can be considered as a rich solar energy reservoir due to its high yields (about 80 t/ha in comparison to about 1, 2 and 20 t/ha for wheat, other grasses and trees, respectively) and annual regeneration capacity. One potential use of the bagasse is as a feedstuff for domestic ruminants. Sugarcane bagasse is a fibrous residue of sugarcane stalks left over after the crushing and extraction of the juice.

Although some commercial uses for the surplus bagasse have been developed, its accumulation causes a serious waste problem for the sugar industry. Several researchers reported that the use of a direct fed microbial such as A. oryzae increased DM digestibility of high concentrate diets through enhanced fiber digestion as well as DM intake of TMR or silage and milk production. More recently, it has been suggested that the A. awamori not only induces a degradation of shochu distillery by-product with wheat bran and the conversion of the mixture into animal feed, but also improves fiber digestibility to some degree when adding 5 to 20% of the fermented feed to formula feed for beef cattle Kagoshima, Japan. Market Survey The demand for food of animal origin is increasing in India due to economic growth, population growth and urbanisation, which in turn means greater use of cereals and oilseeds for animal feed. This is a trend in most developing countries. India is going through a livestock revolution. In the past two decades the increase in demand were coped mainly by expanding livestock population. However, declining land areas per agricultural population forces India to intensify livestock production. Today, we are faced with an extraordinary set of challenges of increasing food production of animal origin with all the other limitations like land, water, weather etc and the question is how would we meet these demands. We also have another challenge that the food we produce has to be highly cost efficient to make it more sustainable. There animal husbandry is divided into three major industries: India has one of the largest populations of cattle in the world and ranks number one in milk production. The country produces about 80 million tons of milk per annum with an annual per capita consumption of 240 g/day. The dairy industry is spread across the whole country and it is growing at an annual growth rate of 5%. Milk is from cows or buffaloes and the buffalo breeds produce milk with a fat content of 7 to 8% compared to cow's milk, which has a fat content of 4%. Most of the feed comes from grazing although a small portion of concentrate feed containing various feed additives for enhancing milk production is being given to cattle. Most of the feed manufacturers in India make both poultry as well as cattle feed. The demand for usage of cattle feed will grow if the feed is economically viable. The challenge is to make a nutritionally competent feed using low-grade fibrous crop residues, which are mainly by products from other industries along with feed additives. Cattle feeding practices are very traditional. Farmers choose their own ingredients and prepare their own formulations. The productivity of cattle is very low because of poor genetic makeup and so there is a limitation of using high quality feed. About 10% of the cattle herd is of the cross bred varieties but this is slowly increasing and more and more crossbred population of either Jersey or Holstein-Friesian are coming into existence. In the coming years pure bred varieties also could increase. In the past several decades, marked changes in livestock production have paralleled shifts in farm animal feed formulation. Bolstered by spikes in feed prices and increasing demand from downstream farm supplies wholesalers, the Farm Animal Food Production industry's revenue has increased at an annualized rate of 3.7% to $31.7 billion during the past five years. Global population growth and expansion of developing economies have further boosted demand for meat, requiring greater supply of feeds to match growing production. Despite a decline in per capita meat consumption in the United States, demand for farm animal feed was maintained by downstream industries, such as dairy farms. Consequently, industry revenue is expected to rise another 1.5% during 2012.... Purchase to read more Asia is expected to hold nearly 29% of the animal feed additives market by 2016.
