19 Snapshot of Potential Investable Projects Proposed Project Process-able Products/ infrastructure Value Proposition 1. Storage Unit For Fresh Onions Onion A lot of produce is wasted due to lack of proper storage units. Huge potential for investments in this area 2. Maize Value Added Unit 3. Setting up a Bottled Drink Manufacturing Plant Maize The state contributes as One of the top 5 producers of Maize and a maize value added unit will ensure proper utilisation of the produce by better preservation Health drink Increasing demand for packed beverages by the growing Indian population can be served by the sufficient supply of milk and fruits in the state 4. Establishment of Small Scale Fruit Processing Unit 5. Establishment of Baker s Yeast Unit 6. Medical Herbs Extraction Unit 7. Establishment of Freeze Dried Fruit Processing Unit Pulp, squash/ juices, jam & jellies, pickles, etc. Molasses aromatic herbs and spices Dry Fruits Availability of raw material near fruit belt and need for controlling wastage through processing will provide dual benefits The manufacturing unit can focus on production, processing, marketing, export of Yeasts. With the increasing demand for bakery products, demand for yeasts is also increasing. Requirement of raw material molasses (by product of sugar mills) and the state is abundant in raw material. Employment generation, utilisation of raw material Freeze dried food products have some of the highest per unit value and raw material available in Bihar will provide the ability to export products and explore markets 8. Malting Unit Coarse Grains India is currently malt importing and the applications of malt are both in the brewery

20 9. Cattle Feed Plant 10. Modern Abattoir, small scale 11. Development of Fruits and Vegetables Cluster Cattle Feed Livestock Fruits, Vegetable, Grains, Spices, etc. industry as well as in instant foods and health foods. State is abundant in raw material and has huge potential for profitability Growing number of livestock in the state is a key driver for the demand of cattle feed in the state, which is ever-increasing and therefore this sector has a great scope for growth Demand for red meat exceeds supply in India, State is abundant in raw material required and provides a good opportunity The sheer volume of vegetable and fruits productions in Bihar means that there s a strong need & opportunity for developing a dedicated mega Food park to support the agriculture sector. The Food Park will be set up by a Special Purpose Vehicle preferably registered as a corporate body with at least 51% equity of the private entrepreneurs, while the rest of the equity may be with central and state government agencies, banks and financial institutions etc.
