16. Definition: Food processing is the transformation of raw ingredients into food, or of food into other forms. Food processing typically takes clean, harvested crops or butchered animal products and uses these to produce attractive, marketable and often long shelf-life food products.

17. The processed food industry is divided into the following broad segments: • Primary processed food - which includes products such as fruits and vegetables, packed milk, unbranded edible oil, milled rice, flour, tea, coffee, pulses, spices, and salt, sold in packed or non-packed forms. • Value-added processed food - which includes products such as processed fruits and vegetables, juices, jams, pickles, squashes, processed dairy products (ghee, paneer, cheese, and butter), processed poultry, and processed marine products, confectionary, chocolates, and alcoholic beverages.

18. Overview: • In the post-independence period, India witnessed rapid growth in food- processing sector specifically during 1980s. • Even after a strong agricultural production base, India’s food processing industry is still under developed. The highest share of the processed food is in the dairy sector, where 35% of total produce is processed, of which only 15% is processed by the organized sector. The processing level is around 20% in meat and poultry products.

19. Overview: • India's agricultural base holds a significant potential for the Food Processing Industry that provides a strong link between agriculture and consumers. Government also has accorded a high priority to the sector and has provided many fiscal incentives. • In India, the food processing industry is highly fragmented and is dominated by the unorganized sector. A number of players in this industry are small.

20. Financing: • Earlier, Loans granted for Food and Agro Processing were covered under Indirect Agriculture, however after July 2012, Loans for food and agro processing are being classified under Micro and Small Enterprises, provided the units satisfy investments criteria. • Facilities e.g. Fund based and Non Fund based facilities are provided for financing to these sectors.

21. Indian infrastructure for agri-produce is inadequate. A big chunk of the produce from the fields is lost due to poor post harvesting facilities and lack of cold chain infrastructure. India . The cold storage facilities now available are mostly for a single commodity like potato, orange, grapes, pomegranates, flowers, etc. which results in poor capacity utilization. • There is also a lack of trained experts for testing, quality certification, R&D etc. who can educate the farming community of the standards and requirements and the processes of obtaining certifications. R&D efforts, as discussed earlier, also are a drawback.

22. Increase in integrated storage facilities requirement Cold storage facilities. • Access for Global Market to be provided. • Mega Food Parks • Integrated Cold Chain. • Financing for joint Research Initiatives • Packaging and barcoding.
