Food Industry
India’s food processing industry released by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII)
It (India) has performed better than Brazil, US and China as of 2021 in terms of growth. But there is immense potential to unlock. India processes only 30% of its total meat production compared to Brazil (50% -60%) and the US (almost 90%). In fruits, India processes 5% of its production, compared to Brazil (35-40%) and the US (about 20%),” the report reads.
Quality inconsistency, fragmented agriculture production, demand-supply mismatch, low penetration of technology, and supply chain issues like the availability of cold storage and warehousing facilities are the major barriers to the growth of the industry.
