India is the world’s second largest producer of food with the potential of being the biggest, backed by its food and

agricultural sector. The food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India and is ranked fifth in

terms of production, consumption, export and expected growth. The total food production in India is likely to

double in the next 10 years with the country’s domestic food market estimated to reach US$ 258 billion by 2015.

Agriculture, which provides employment to 52 per cent of the population, is estimated to account for 14 per cent

of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). Further, technology and advancements in agricultural sciences

and mechanisation of farm operations has helped transform Indian agriculture and increased output

considerably.

The Indian food processing industry accounts for 32 per cent of the country’s total food market. The Government

of India has nominated two agencies, Agricultural & Processed food products Export Development Authority

(APEDA) and Marine Products Export Development Authority (MPEDA), for promoting exports from India.

Owing to them and the seemingly lucrative opportunities in this sector, the food industry in India has been

attracting a lot of attention from foreign investors as the country is close to the markets of Middle East, Africa

and South East Asia.

Market Size

India’s agricultural production is expected to grow at a rate of 4.6 per cent in 2014. With the second green

revolution just around the corner, India’s production of foodgrains this year is expected to break the 2011–12

record of 259 million tonnes (MT). The overall grain stock position in India is about 62.1 MT, including 41.8 MT

wheat and 20.3 MT rice.

India is the third largest fish producer and second in inland fish production in the world. Marine products

contribute a fair share to India’s food processing industry. According to MPEDA, export earnings from marine

products touched a record US$ 5 billion during 2013–14.

India has a livestock population of 470 million, which includes 205 million cattle and 90 million buffaloes. Total

meat production in the country is about five MT annually. The country produces 450 million broilers and 33

billion eggs every year. Growth rate of egg and broiler production is 16 per cent and 20 per cent respectively.

The Indian food industry which presently stands at close to US$ 135 billion with a CAGR of 10 per cent, is

expected to touch US$ 200 billion by 2015. The food processing industry in India attracted foreign direct

investments (FDI) worth US$ 5,793.95 million during the period April 2000–March 2014, according to data

published by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).

Road Ahead

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has estimated that the food processing sector has the potential to

attract US$ 33 billion of investment in 10 years and generate employment of around nine million persons.

Also, the opportunities in food and grocery retail in India are immense, given that it constitutes about 69 per cent

of India’s total retail market, as per panel members at the seventh Food and Grocery Forum India.

The revival of the agriculture sector could open up opportunities for developing a number of other businesses in

the food industry, such as integrated cold chains, mega food parks and processable varieties of crops, among

many others. To promote food processing industries in India, the MoFPI has finalised the Vision 2015 document,

which envisages tripling the size of the processed food sector by increasing the level of processing of perishables

from 6 per cent to 20 per cent, value addition from 20 per cent to 35 per cent and share in global food trade from

1.5 per cent to 3 per cent, by 2015.
