20 M F P I Annual Report CHAPTER-2 GENERAL STATUS OF FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR 2.1 O V E R V I E W O F T H E F O O D PROCESSING SECTOR: A well-developed food processing sector with higher level of processing helps in the reduction of wastage, improves value addition, promotes crop diversification, ensures better return to the farmers, promotes employment as well as increases export earnings. This sector is also capable of addressing critical issues of food security, food inflation and providing wholesome and nutritious food to the masses. Over the years, agricultural production in India has consistently recorded higher output. India ranks no 1 in the world in the production of Milk, Pulses, Ginger, Bananas, Guavas, Papayas and Mangoes. Further, India ranks no 2 in the world in the production of Rice, Wheat, Vegetable and horticulture products. Abundant supply of raw materials, increase in demand for food products and incentives offered by the Government has impacted food processing sector positively. In the last few years the food processing sector has been growing at a faster rate than agriculture sector. Food Processing Sector has emerged as an important segment of the Indian economy in terms of its contribution to GDP, employment and investment. The sector constitutes as much as 9.0 and 11.0 per cent of GDP in Manufacturing and Agriculture sector respectively. During the last 5 years ending , Food Processing Industries sector has been growing at an Average Annual Growth Rate (AAGR) of around 8.4 per cent as compared to around 3.3 per cent in Agriculture and 6.6 per cent in Manufacturing Contribution and growth of Food Processing Industries: As seen in the table below, the Food Processing Sector has been growing faster than the agriculture sector.

Nevertheless, since food processing industries include all edible processed food from the economic activity point of view, data analyzed by this Ministry includes the entire sector. Food processing includes (a) Manufactured Processes: If any raw product of agriculture, animal husbandry or fishing is transformed through a process [involving employees, power, machines or money] in such a way that its original physical properties undergo a change and if the transformed product is edible and has commercial value, then it comes within the domain of Food Processing Industries. (b) Other Value-Added Processes: If there is significant value addition (increased shelf life, shelled and ready for consumption etc.) such produce also comes under food processing, even if it does not undergo manufacturing processes. From an analytical perspective, food processing can be viewed as different levels of processing primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary Processing relates to conversion of raw agricultural produce, milk, meat and fish into a commodity that is fit for human consumption. It involves steps such as cleaning, grading, sorting, packing etc. Food Processing Industries usually deal with higher levels of processing where new or h i g h e r va l u e f o o d p r o d u c t s a r e manufactured. The different stages of processing of food are depicted in the flow chart below: 15

A nation-wide study on quantitative assessment of harvest and post-harvest losses for 46 agricultural produces in 106 randomly selected districts was carried out by CIPHET, Ludhiana. The aforesaid study considers the quantitative loss as the material rendered unfit for human consumption. The different stages considered for assessment of losses are harvesting, collection, threshing, grading /sorting, winnowing /cleaning, drying, packaging, transportation, and storage depending upon the commodity. The report of the study was released in The study has estimated harvest and postharvest losses of major agricultural produces at national level to be of the order of Rs. 44,143 crore per annum at 2009 wholesale prices. 20

The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has assigned a repeat study to CIPHET, Ludhiana for same 106 districts to assess the position at present. The Report of the study is expected to be released in April, Wastage in agricultural produces can be minimized by creation & improvement in Supply Chain including transportation & storage and creation of adequate processing facilities. Institute of Economic Growth (IEG), New Delhi in a recent study has found that the overall level of processing in the country in was 6.62 per cent. The level of processing needs to be increased substantially to minimize losses. This calls for concerted efforts to address the impediments faced by the sector. 2.9 FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR MAJOR CHALLENGES: The major challenges facing the sector are illustrated below:- Supply Chain Institutional Gaps (procurement dependence on APMC markets) Lack of product development and Innovation Supply Chain Infra Gaps (Lack of primary processing, storage and distribution facilities) Challenges for Food Processing Sector Inadequate link between production and processing (lack of processable varieties) Seasonability of operations and low capacity utilization Inadequate focus on quality and safety standards These constraints are sought to be addressed under the schemes being implemented by the Ministry, as indicated in subsequent chapters. 21

30 M F P I Annual Report FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR GROWTH POTENTIAL: Increasing spending on Food products The above illustration indicates the various factors which are likely to increase the demand for processed food in coming years. Programmes to increase the output of Indian agriculture without corresponding investments in processing facilities is likely to lead to a mismatch resulting in rural distress and decline in farmers income. The single most important step for improving the bargaining capacity of the farmer is to add value to his produce. This will come about if farmers are able to produce according to the requirements and standards demanded by the market. Food processors and the retailers can provide the necessary demand for the agricultural produce and facilitate the flow of market information, technology and inputs to the farmer so that he can tailor his output to the needs of the market. In the process the farmers will be able to raise their own level of income and employment. The consumer is also likely to benefit as there will be an increase in the supply of food products with a longer shelf life. It is essential to build sustainable supply chain, which will link the farmer to the processing and marketing centres seamlessly. In the absence of on farm cooling and grading arrangements and slow development of cold chain infrastructure, the farmer is compelled to sell his produce to the Adathiya (Broker) without waiting for a better price. If the farmer is enabled to grade and store his produce close to farm, the farmer will be empowered to demand and obtain a better price from the processors and also add value to his produce. Considerable investments are required in rural infrastructure and components of the supply chain by way of grading and packing centres, controlled atmosphere, storage facilities, reefer vans, testing laboratories, etc., which may not come from private sources at this stage of the development of the food processing industry. It is, therefore, essential that public investment is significantly increased to fund these components of rural infrastructure to enable private enterprise to take up the remaining components of the supply chain which can be undertaken commercially. This is borne out by the experience of developed countries where the state has stepped in to build rural infrastructure in a big way. Carefully calibrated subsidies, exploring innovative strategies, empowering rural producers & consumers through better awareness and support to entrepreneurs in terms of technology and training are some of the ways in which this Ministry has catalyzed growth in this sector. 22

41 4 Chapter PLAN SCHEMES FOR FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR 33

42 M F P I Annual Report CHAPTER-4 PLAN SCHEMES FOR FOOD PROCESSING SECTOR 4.1 GENERAL A strong and dynamic food processing sector plays a significant role in diversification of agricultural activities, improving valueaddition opportunities and creating surplus for export of agro-food products. It is increasingly becoming evident that only a vibrant food processing sector can lead to increasing farm gate price and thus increase the income levels of farmers, reduce wastage and increase employment opportunities. This requires policies and plans for i m p r ove m e n t o f f o o d p r o c e s s i n g infrastructure including up-gradation of technology and enforcement of quality standards, promoting investment in food processing, thus assisting in domestic market and export growth. Food Processing adds value, enhances shelf-life and reduces wastage. It provides remunerative prices to the farmers, generates employment opportunities and provides convenience to consumers. Food Processing has tremendous export potential, enabling the farmer to add value to his produce both in terms of quantity and quality so that he can meet the requirements and standards of the market at all stages of value chain, processing and retail which would be critical for improving his economic sustainability and bargaining capacity. Considerable investments are required in rural infrastructure and components of the supply chain by way of grading and packing centers, controlled atmosphere facilities, reefer vans, cold storage for perishable cargo at port/airport/ railway stations, a chain of testing laboratories to meet international quality standards, etc., which are not likely to come up from private sources. Significant public investments would, therefore, be required to create suitable infrastructural facilities to develop a sustainable supply chain linking farmers to processing centres and markets both domestic and foreign. The Ministry has been supporting a range of initiatives for the growth of food processing industry. th PLAN PROPOSALS: Working Group on Food Processing Industries for the 12th Plan has recommended for continuation of following schemes as Central Sector Schemes during the 12th Plan period:- I. Infrastructure Development Scheme (a) Mega Food Parks (b) Cold Chain, Value Addition and Perseveration Infrastructure (c) Setting up / Modernization of Abattoirs approved in 11th Plan. (The scheme has been subsumed under the National Mission on Food Processing w.e.f ) II. Strengthening of Institutions (a) National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship & Management (b) Indian Institute of Crop Processing Technology (c) Indian Grape Processing Board (d) N a t i o n a l M e a t & Po u l t r y Processing Board III. Quality Assurance, HACCP and R&D and Promotional Activities Working Group has also recommended for a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme in the form of National Mission on Food Processing 34

43 Annual Report M F P I proposed to have 8 components. Five components, namely, (i) Technology upgradation/ establishment/modernization of food processing industries, (ii) Human Resource Development, (iii) Construction & Modernization of Abattoirs (iv)promotional Activities and (v) Cold Chain, Value Addition & Preservation Infrastructure for non-horticulture produce have been included in the first phase of the Scheme. Four new activities, namely, (i) Modernization of Meat Shops, (ii) Reefer vehicles, (iii) Creation of P r i m a r y P r o c e s s i n g C e n t r e s (PPCs)/Collections Centres (CCs) in Rural Areas and (iv) Old Food Parks have been added as new components. Working Group has also recommended for two new central sector schemes namely, (I) Venture Capital Fund Scheme and (II) Innovation Fund Scheme. But, these schemes could not be taken up due to fund constraints. 4.3 THE SALIENT FEATURES OF THE PLAN SCHEMES ARE AS FOLLOWS: Scheme for Infrastructure Development The Ministry of Food Processing Industries has been implementing the Scheme of Infrastructure development which has 3 components, namely Mega Food Parks, Integrated Cold Chain and Setting up/modernisation of Abattoirs Mega Food Park Scheme: Mega Food Parks Scheme aims to create a modern food processing infrastructure for the processing units based on a cluster approach and on a hub and spoke model in a demand driven manner. The scheme intends to facilitate establishment of an integrated value chain, with food processing at the core and supported by requisite forward and backward linkages. The central processing centre is networked with the primary processing centers of collection centers located at the farm gate in production areas. The broader idea behind the scheme is to bring together farmers, processors and retailers and link agricultural production to the market so as to ensure maximization of value addition, minimization of wastages and improving farmers' income Scheme for Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation Infrastructure (i) India has made significant achievement in production of various agricultural crops and allied products. India is the largest producer of milk and the second largest producer of fruits, vegetables. The country also is a major producer of marine, meat & poultry products. However, the post-harvest management, preservation, transportation and value addition are not adequate in the Indian farm sector. This results in huge wastage at each stage of the supply chain. (ii) Post-harvest losses can be minimized to a greater extent by creation of uninterrupted cold chain infrastructure linking the farm gate to the retail outlet. Efficient and adequate storage and transportation facilities will not only result in more income to the farmers but also in steady supply of food products at retail outlets. The current scenario reveals that there is a tremendous scope for the development of cold chain and preservation facilities. (iii) In this backdrop, the Ministry launched the scheme of Cold Chain, Value Addition and Preservation Infrastructure in year 2008 with an objective to provide integrated cold chain, value addition, and preservation infrastructure facilities without any break from the farm gate to the consumer. (iv) Under the scheme, the cold chain infrastructure can be set up by individuals, groups of entrepreneurs, cooperative societies, Self Help Groups ( S H G s ), F a r m e r P r o d u c e r Organizations (FPOs), NGOs, 35

44 M F P I Annual Report Central/State PSUs, etc. with business interest in cold chain solutions and also by those who manage supply chain. (v) The implementation schedule for the project is 24 months in general areas and 30 months in case of NE region and difficult areas from the date of the approval of each project. Programme Management Agency (PMA) has also been engaged to assist Ministry in implementation and monitoring the cold chain projects as well as scrutiny and appraisal of the proposals Scheme for Setting up / Modernization of Abattoirs. During 11th Plan, the Ministry had launched a comprehensive scheme for modernization of abattoirs across the country.

To make the scheme more inclusive farmer-producer organizations, NGOs, self-help groups and cooperative societies have been made eligible to apply for financial assistance. The scope of the components of the scheme has been broadened. Now, ripening chambers can be set up at the minimal processing centre at the farm level whereas grading and sorting facilities can also be part of the distribution hub. Indicative list of eligible and in-eligible items of plant & machinery and technical civil work have been incorporated in the scheme guidelines. Term loan of at least 10% of the project cost has been made mandatory for the applicant to ensure greater involvement of the banks and FIs in appraisal and financing the projects. The scoring criteria for assessment of the proposals have been made more objective and transparent by making assessment parameters more specific. The template of the Detailed Project Report (DPR) also guides the applicant to provide the requisite information about the project in a logical and sequential manner. The timeline for the project implementation has now been increased from 18 to 24 months for general areas and 30 months for difficult and north- 53

62 M F P I Annual Report eastern areas. The guidelines have been further simplified on and the DPR format has been realigned to make it more user friendly and reducing the need of extra documentation. The Technical Committee and the Inter Ministerial Approval Committee (IMAC) have also been re-constituted. The IMAC will now be chaired by Hon ble Minister (FPI) Requirement of Cold Chain/Cold Storage: One of the reasons for the high losses in the supply chain of perishables is poor availability of cold chain infrastructure from farm gate to retail outlets. In a study conducted by Central Institute of Post-Harvest Engineering & Technology (CIPHET), the extent of losses was assessed at various levels of operations. It found that the wastage of perishable products varies from 6 18% resulting in total loss of about Rs. 44,143 crore annually based on wholesale price index A committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. Saumitra Chaudhuri, Member- Planning Commission was constituted in year 2012 on encouraging investments in supply chains including provision for cold chain for more efficient distribution of farm produce. This committee had also taken into account the gap in cold storage capacity assessed to be about 37 million tonnes. However, the study of cold storage gap done by the National Spot Exchange Ltd. in December 2010 has made assumptions which may not correctly reflect the gap in capacity. In the study, based on the area specific production, the peak month of the production in the respective states have been taken as a reference point as the total storage requirement. It assumed that all fruits & vegetables which do not go into the market are stored in cold chain. Also cold storage point was considered as the primary market point from where all the trade follows. The study has not covered the cold storage requirements of the processed food, spices and pulses. The committee has recommended that the integrated cold chain scheme of the Ministry should be open ended with clearly set out budget limits so that eligible projects within the budgeted limit get the required support and sufficient resources so that this objective can be achieved. FURTHER PLAN Ministry had issued Expression of Interest (EOI) on to select about 15 cold chain projects against the vacant slots. A total 153 proposals were received. The proposals are under scrutiny as per the guidelines of the scheme Task Force on Cold Chain Projects: To accelerate the availability of cold storage and to improve the efficiency of Cold Chain Management a Task Force under the Chairmanship of Secretary, Ministry of Food Processing Industries has been set up by the Prime Minister s Office with a view to re-visit the strategies, financials and incentives of all cold storage/ cold chain r e l a t e d s c h e m e s a n d r e c o m m e n d institutional mechanism for enhancing capacity of cold chain infrastructure in the country. The Committee submitted their report on to the Govt. The Committee, inter-alia, recommended that the Govt. should aim at creating an additional capacity of 7.5 million tonnes over the next 05 (five) years with fund allocation of Rs crores. Out of this 7.5 million capacity, 5 million tonnes may be created together by National Horticulture Mission (NHM) & National Horticulture Board (NHB) under the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) scheme of Department of Agriculture and Cooperation and 2.5 million tonnes under the scheme of the Ministry. 54

66 M F P I Annual Report Setting up / Modernization of Abattoirs: The issue of ensuring hygienic meat production in the country has to be seriously considered. There is a need for setting up / modernization of municipal abattoirs as the domestic meat market is fed by abattoirs owned/licenced by municipal bodies. These municipal abattoirs generally lack modern equipment, proper sanitation/hygiene, facilities for scientific slaughtering, waste management and pollution control. Quality and hygiene levels are low resulting in contamination / deterioration of meat, cruelty to the animals, wastage of meat and pollution of adjoining areas, water bodies and rivers. Modernization of these abattoirs is needed for production of clean, wholesome and hygienic meat required for domestic consumption. The qualitative and quantitative capacities of the abattoirs need to be upgraded besides discouraging slaughtering in unauthorised locations. It is imperative that the slaughter houses supplying meat to the domestic consumers have the basic minimum requirements such as proper lairage facilities, proper flooring, carcass hanging/flaying facility, adequate water supply and lighting with proper wastage disposal system. This has to be ensured by the State Governments and the local bodies since most of the abattoirs are owned/operated or licensed by the local bodies. However, Government of India has to play its part in assisting the States in fulfilling this objective. Hence the Plan Scheme for establishing new abattoirs and modernizing of existing abattoirs was started in the 11th Five Year Plan. (i) Objectives of the scheme: Scientific and hygienic slaughtering of the animals. Application of modern technology for slaughter waste management and pollution control. More humane treatment of animals/minimizing transportation of animals. Better by-product utilization/value addition. Providing chilling facility to prevent microbial activity in slaughtered animals. Better hygiene, safety and retail cold chain management. Better forward linkage facility for finished meat and meat products. (ii) Salient features of the scheme: (iii) The scheme will be implemented with involvement of local bodies (Municipal Corporations and Pa n c h aya t s ) / P u b l i c S e c t o r Under taking/co-operatives/ Boards under Government and will have flexibility for facilitating involvement of private investors on public- private partnership basis. Land for abattoirs will be contributed by the Panchayats/ U r b a n L o c a l B o d i e s / S t a t e Agencies. Professional agencies have been e n g a g e d a s P r o g r a m m e Management Agency (PMA) to assist the Ministry in project appraisal, implementation and monitoring of projects. Pattern of financial assistance: Financial assistance (grant-in-aid) for setting up of new abattoirs/ modernisation of existing abattoirs is provided at 50% of cost of plant & machinery and technical civil work in general areas subject to maximum of Rs. 15 crore for each project. For difficult areas, the ceiling is 75% of cost of plant & machinery and technical civil work subject to maximum of Rs 15 crore for each 58
