Food Laws• Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (PFA) 1954 and the PFA Rules of 1955 : The law to protect India against impure, unsafe, and fraudulently-labeled foods is the

Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (PFA) of 1954 with the PFA Rules of 1955, as amended from time to time. PFA standards and regulations apply equally to domestic and imported products. The PFA covers various aspects of food processing and distribution, such as food color, preservatives, pesticide residues, packaging and labeling, and regulation of sales. The PFA Act and Rules, and recent notifications are available at :http://mohfw.nic.in/pfa.htm.

• The Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976, and the Standards of Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rule, 1977:

These legislative measures are designed to establish fair trade practices with respect to packaged commodities. The rules aim to ensure that the basic rights of consumers regarding vital information about the nature of the commodity, the name and address of the manufacturer, the net quantity, date of manufacture, and maximum sale price are provided on the label .

The entire text of the Standards of Weights and Measures Act, 1976, and the Standards of Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rule, 1977, and related notifications, can be accessed from: http://fcamin.nic.in/wm_ind.htm. Importers of packaged food products must adhere to these acts, including labeling the product. The name and address of the importer, the net quantity, date of manufacture, best-before date, and maximum sales price must be included on the label.

Food Laws• Meat Food Products Order, 1992 This order administers the permissible quantity of heavy metals, preservatives, and

insecticide residues for meat products. The Directorate of Marketing and Inspection, Ministry of Agriculture, is the regulatory authority. This order is equally applicable to domestic processors and importers of meat products. However, its implementation is weak, due to unorganized production in the domestic market and few subject imports. For details, see: http://agma rknet.nic.in/mfpo1973.htm

• Livestock Importation Act, 1898 Under the Livestock Importation Act, 1898, the government established procedures for

the importation of livestock and related products to India, which are implemented by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Ministry of Agriculture. These proceduresare available at: http://dahd.nic.in/order/livestockimport.doc

• Milk and Milk Products Order, 1992 This order regulates the production, distribution, and supply of milk products;

establishes sanitary requirements for dairies, machinery, and premises; and sets quality control standards for milk and milk products. Standards specified in the order also apply to imported products. The Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Ministry of Agriculture, is the regulatory authority. For details see: ttp://dahd.nic.in/order/mmpo.doc

Import Documentation

• Importers must furnish an import declaration in the prescribed Bill of Entry format, disclosing the value of the imported goods. This must be accompanied by any import licenses and phytosanitary certificates (in case of agricultural commodities), along with documentation such as sales invoices and freight and insurance certificates. All consignments are required to be inspected prior to clearance. In the current Customs setup, appointing a clearing agent avoids delays.

• The clearance of imported food products at the port of entry requires a certification from the port health authority that the product conforms to the standards and regulations of the PFA.However, certification is based mostly on visual inspection and records of past imports, as most ports have very limited testing facilities. Consequently, importers of new products can sometimes face undue delays in clearing their products. The custom clearance period may last between one day and one month, depending on the product and experience of the importer. In case of a dispute or rejection of the consignment, the importer can file an appeal at the Customs office at the port of entry.

Olive Oil Imports

• According to official data from Akshay Exim Info , Olive oil is being mainly imported from Spain and Italy.

• Major Hurdles:

The first is the high customs fee of around 50 percent. This does not make any sense because India is not protecting any local producers.

The second is the quantities involved. When you import small quantities, the price is obviously higher. The more you import, the better and better the prices get.

Thus, while the average price for the best quality of refined olive oil in Europe is 3.5 euros a kilo, it is double or triple of that in India.

The current market of details pertaining to the HS code and product sub types which are being imported are as follows:

Government Initiatives for Imported Food Market

• Food Parks:

In a bid to boost the food sector, the Government is working on agrizones and the concept of mega food parks. Twenty such mega parks will come up across the country in various cities to attract Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the food processing sector. The Government approved 105 proposals between January 2002 and May 2005 from foreign industrialists to set up food processing industries in India involving 107 million euros. The ministry has released a total assistance of 17 million euros to implement the Food Parks Scheme. It has so far approved 50 food parks for assistance across the country. The Centre also plans 16 million euros subsidy for mega food processing parks.

• Food Law:

The Government is also moving towards introducing an integrated food law, which is expected to help meet the requirements of international trade and make the Indian food industry competitive in the global market. To harness the value-creating potential of agro processing, superior market mechanism and infrastructure are required to be created. State governments have already begun to actively encourage the creation of aggregators by encouraging companies to engage in agriculture marketing. It is believed that this may provide the basis to jumpstart private investment into cold chain and other supply chain infrastructure.

Conclusion

• The report is mainly highlighting the historical figures of Imported food Items. But if we take in consideration the pace with which the Indian Retail industry is booming, the current rise in the income levels then definitely the market size is much bigger and constantly growing The most important factor which has to be noted is that in this booming market needs a importer who can supply good quality products CONSISTENTLY. This is a major cause of worry for retailers who want to tap the demand for Imported food items.

• If we compare the Eurostat figures with the figures provided to us by local agencies, we observed a lot of discrepancies. This surely highlights the possibility of under invoicing etc., hence a thorough study of the market estimates has to be done in an more in-depth manner.

• Of course ,there is a demand which is now dormant because of non availability and inconsistent supply of good quality Brands across food categories. Also ,one thing which is very much lacking is the awareness level among customers about food items like Pasta , Olive Oil etc.

• We as a company can really reap benefits in this growing imported food item market as we have the experience and know how of this business model , which is very much dependant upon the SOURCE from where we buy the food category across the world.

• As it can be seen from the inferences in the report that Pasta is mainly coming from Italy, Olive oil from Spain and Italy and Sweet corn from Thailand .We as a company already have strong base in this region.
