EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objective of our summer project is to IDENTIFY GAPS IN NILONS
DISTRIBUTION AND STRATEGIZE TO FILL THOSE GAPS and also TO
ENSURE THAT ALL SOPs ARE FOLLOWED
Nilons is an FMCG company and is renowned throughout INDIA for its
quality and taste it delivers. As the companys punchline boasts, Nilon's
Pickles: Taste that Lingers. It is very true since it delivers the quality
which really lingers in the mind of customer and they are compelled to
purchase which is proved by the marketing survey done by me. Adding
one more feather to the cap, Nilons is the largest and best quality
producer of tooty fruity in INDIA. Nilons also manufactures roasted
vermicelli, jams, papads, gulabjamun mix and macaroni. So Nilons has
a very good line of products and all of them give good competition to
the competitors.
It is truly said that it is very difficult to achieve 100% in any aspect.
Some or the other loopholes or lacunae would always be present. In the
similar way Nilons also possesses some loopholes. There were some
Distribution gaps seen. They are as follows:
KEY ISSUES IN MUMBAI MARKET
1. As Mumbai is the economic capital of
our country in order to tap this huge fruitful
4
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
5/54
market we need Planning, Coordination &
timely implementation of strategies which
can only come from implementing 4Ds in
our blood these 4Ds are DISCIPLINE,
DEDICATION, DETERMINATION &DESIRES
which is lacking here in Mumbai.
2. Apart from CRM, VRM is can be the key
for success.
According to me distributor is just like heart
which maintains the product delivery andservice to the retailers , if VRM has not been
done properly area under him can easily be
paralysed and fact is that in Mumbai VRM
has not been done properly.
3.Communication gap is there between-
EX-Our strategy of promoting our brand in retail
malls has not been effectively implemented as
5
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
6/54
there was lack of planning and communication
gap there was no prior information from the side
of nilons management to the managers of retail
malls that team of nilons is coming in their stores
to promote the nilons brand. As for every action
there should be a standard procedure they need
in written from the nilons management document
explaining about our actions in advance which
the Mumbai till now not able to do this. Result is
in front of us.
4.There is always misplaced order from the side
of C&FA .They always send what has not been
ordered.
EX-recently i made an order of 10 boxes of
nilons 200 gms pouches (5 mango,2mix,3lime,1
chilli) .They sent all pouches of mix variety.
5.C&FA warehouses are not in proper condition
as distributors as well as retailers complaining
about foul smell of pesticides in nilons products i
have also couriered one sample taken from the
APMC market to the nilons house at Jalgaon (cv-
900gm,batch no-01,dated-september)
6.Wer here in Mumbai to help and coordinate
with Mumbai team to raise the value of nilons
brand & positioned nilons as a cult brand in the
minds of Mumbaikars . But after working 60 daysI and my fellow members felt that Mumbai team
6
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
7/54
think were here only to report a negative
feedback against them this can be easily
identified with the attitude of sales man they
were afraid of us .Were trying from our side to
be as supportive as possible rest is on them.
According were just mere cost to the company
and good for nothing.
7. I also found out that there is no feeling of
respect among ground staff for their seniors, I
dont want to disappoint you but every third
person among field staff want to shuffle the
company.
8. Efficiency and affectivity can only come if we
can manage our time. Lack of time management
in the system continuously reducing our
efficiency here.9.There is always a complaint from the retailers
side that they are getting less number of pieces
in RV box, less gram age in cherry packets.
10- Salesmen were found very inconsistent in carrying the samples.They should at least carry the small catalogue given by the company
since it speaks about our entire product length. Also the retailer can
get trapped in some or the other product we sell.
11- Proper distribution of last scheme was not done i.e. smaller
retailers always complained to me saying that when there is a scheme,
they are not told about it. The information is just confined to the
wholesaler. So it maligns the goodwill of the company and also leads to
slow moving of our product to the consumer. In the mean time the
scheme is stopped and new prices are there. Consequently the
7
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
8/54
distributor is having products of a price higher than the market. So our
products then move out slowly.
12- It was found that the salesmen where not following the SoPs
(standard operating procedures). They should get signature and seal on
the daily selling report everyday but this does not happen.
13- Company should take care of its secondary sales or retailing since
primary sale is just a PSEUDOSALE. Just dependency on the
distributors salesmen is not good since they just make a postman call.
They have a plethora of brands to sell so they just call the name of our
brand and never try to convince the retailers. So utmost attention must
be given to secondary sales because that is where actual turnover
occurs.
AN INTRODUCTION

MANAGING DIRECTOR: Mr Dipak Sanghavi

Sr .G.M.: Mr Deepak Minotra
NSM: Mr Ajay Sheoran
ASM (MUMBAI) :Mr. AYUB KHAN
The foundation of this industry was laid way back in 1962 as a
tiny cottage industry. During those days, the processed food
sector was not the talk of the time. However, it was truly the
vision of a young entrepreneur (the founder Director Late Shri
S.B. Sanghavi) to enter into this segment, leveraging the fact
that India was primarily an Agro-based economy.
'Nilons's' realized that to succeed in food industry, it should have
the right blend of taste, quality, and hygiene. Accordingly, R & D
infrastructure facilities of highest order were established.
Modestly, 'Nilon's' forayed into traditional Indian recipes to
satisfy the taste bud of millions of Indians and gradually spread
its wings across the globe. Doubtlessly, Nilon's became a generic
name for pickles and Tooty-Fruity in India and Abroad.
The foundation of trade channels was laid on trust, personal
relations and transparent dealings which continue to be a guiding
force even today. Nilon's too has changed with time. Becoming
more professional, embracing new technology, and building
capabilities to serve the global village, it has kept pace with thechanging times.
Today Nilon's is 49 years young. Yet it believes in Indian ethical
values of culture and is committed to providing the very best
quality product and services. Nilon's is today India's premier and
best-known food Company.

SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT ANALYSIS means analyzing the following:
STRENGTH
WEAKNESS
OPPORTUNITY
THREAT
STRENGTH:
Strength of NILONS is its BRAND NAME.
Its quality.
Its strong retailing.
Its quality of men force/sales force
WEAKNESS:
Quality is deteriorating
Cannibalism seen in many products in which one kills the sales
of other
Price not kept according to quality.
PR strategy totally neglected.
Frequent fluctuation in prices.
OPPORTUNITY:
Organized market is of Rs.400 Cr and total pickle market is of
Rs.1500 Cr. So there is still a plethora of opportunities left with
the company that can be exploited to its advantage.
21
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
22/54
New states to be given more importance instead of working
mainly in a saturated market.
New products to be developed which can move fast and also
give good profit since NILONS brand can be easily used.
THREAT:
Local brands that have edge in taste and also inventory and
other costs.
New good brands like KAMDHENU which give customer quality
as well as competitive price
Other competitors like PRIYA, KAMDHENU, MOTHER, TUFAN etc
22

SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS OF KEY
ISSUES
1.To convert a product into BRAND weneed to develop trust & has to deliver
what we had promised. Maintain the
standards of quality of service through
proper planning and execution with
proper action and route plans.
2.Order should be on the same rate at
which sales man took order and deliver
it on the desired time.
3.Handling the disputes of distributors
must be done satisfactorily. Periodical
meeting should be held with everydistributor (between ASM &
distributor).It is necessary to maintain
confidence in him for our brand and
organisation.
4.Surprise visits of ASM , ASS-ASM,& SOs
on field to check whether the field staff
23
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
24/54
is doing his work on time or not. Similar
surprise visits should be done from the
side of top management team.
5.Proper communication channel shouldbe developed which is not there. Phone
numbers should be stable and always
switched-on.
6.In order to tackle the problem of
misplaced or wrong dispatched of
goods it is the responsibility of C &Fa toconfirm the order from sales or
distributor before sending the
consignment.
7.Surprise visits must be done to
different warehouses of distributors &
C&Fa to check their condition ofhygiene as there is huge replacement
happening from their side. We are
losing huge amount of money on our
policy of 100% replacement.
8.Sales should be encouraged to do
market alone as in some areas they are
covering the market with distributor
sales man who also promotes products
of other brands due to which effective
selling cant be done.
24
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
25/54
9. In case of 5 kg TARGET or CLASSICpickle we can introduced one spoon in
it as most of the retailers sold it open.
It will increase the cost but also bring
differentiation and as we all know that
to achieve competitive-advantage over
our rivals we have to pay that cost.
10. Launching of sachets of jams in 2rs
category.
11. Promotion activity should be donewith the use of display boards,
banners, hoardings & by running our
AD in big retail stores etc.
12. There is huge demand of ginger-
garlic paste in the market we can think
about this category of product if it is
feasible.
13. As we use mango in most of our
products we can introduce aam papad
based on this core competency.
14. WE can also introduced flavouredvermicelli , pasta etc.
15. Proper advertisement strategy should be done like
putting banners in retail outlets, stickers to be put in the
retail outlets and especially superbazar and big bazaars.
16. Advertisement which can be easily understood by
public to be broadcast, since it is difficult to understand
whether our advertisement is of pickles or jam.
25
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
26/54
17. Use your brand name many times in an advertisement
and try to show in a few seconds almost the entire
product range. This will speak about our line of products
and also show our strength as NILONS FAMILY. It will be
cheaper also since you dont need to advertise for each
product.
18. Documentation should be properly done like filling of
daily sales report. Name of every product should be there
so that he /she does not forget anything. See Annexure 1
19. If our secondary sales are dependent much on
distributors salesmen then give them some incentive in
their hand not in the hand of distributor as it will
motivate them and also increase the sale.
20. Give distributors salesmen also a target. Since they
have many brands to sell, they just make a POSTMAN
CALL and finish their job. So motivate
them by giving incentives.
21. Give more emphasis on your secondary sales for the
reasons stated earlier in the report. Primary sales will
anyway happen. It is the secondary sales which yield theactual revenues.
26
7/29/2019 Shrey Report
27/54
Conclusion
Distribution of products is good but there is inconsistency of
supply of products like jams, achar masala, ketchup etc. So it
instigates the retailer and also consumer to jump to other
brands.
Field staff should always carry some sample or the small
catalogue book, if the products are cumbersome to carry.
Quality and supply of products to the retailer is good and this is
proved by the survey.
Product placement and also our retailing are stronger than
other available brands but it is not up to mark. Still we need to
do lots of hard work to uproot the local brands.
Please work for the awareness of the brand in the mind of
consumer and also to the retailer.
Quality seems to be getting bad in the bulk pack though it is
good in consumer packs. This should be taken care of since
NILONS is famous for the quality it delivers.
India's food industry on
the path of high growthINDIA'S $182-BILLION FOOD PROCESSING INDUSTRY HAS BEEN GROWING AT OVER 13 PERCENT DESPITE THEGLOBAL SLOWDOWN.PACKED AND PROCESSED FOOD IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING POPULAR

INDIA'S $182-BILLION food processing industry has been growing at over 13 percent despite the globalslowdown. And now the government is aiming to double the turnover in the next five or six years by setting upmega food parks to attract global capital The vision: Bring about a three-fold growth in the size of the country'sfood processing business, increase the level of processing perishables from six percent to 20 percent, raisethe value addition from 20 percent to 35 percent and increase India's share in the global food trade from 1.5
percent to three percent."We have seen the revolutions in the information technology and biotechnology. I nowfeel the time has come for a revolutionin food technology," said Minister of State for Food Processing SubodhKant Sahai."People say whatever the circumstances, one will need food. So, this is one industry that will never
close down, "Sahai, who holds independent charge of the ministry, said in an interview. He has statistics a swellt back his confidence. The country's gross domestic product (GDP) saw a decline in growth to 5.3 percentfor the third quarter of this fiscal from8.9 percent in the like period of the previous year, with bothmanufacturing and agriculture actually registering a decline in output. But the food processing sector continuedto maintainapositive growth rate. "In the midst of the global economic meltdown and with the growth in ourmanufacturing sector also having fallen, the food processing industry is growing at a robust 13.7 percent today,from levels of 6.7 percentin 2004-05," said Sahai. Agreed Pradeep Chordia, chairperson of the Chordia FoodPark at Shirwal in Maharashtra: "Food is an essential item. I don't think that the global recession will have anyeffect on thefood industry in India."According to the India Food Report 2008 prepared by leading markets data providerResearch and Markets, the Indian food industry was estimated at over $182 billion, accounting for about two-thirds of the country's total retail sector. "We expect this market to grow to $300 billion by 2015, which isnot very far. And by 2025, it is expected to be worth $344 billion ,"said an official in the ministry of food
processing industries

SOME FACTS ARE WELL KNOWN AND BACK THE
AMBITIOUS VISION SET BY THE GOVERNMENT:
! India is the world's largest producer of milk.! It has the largest number of livestock in the world.! It is the world's second largest producer of fruit and vegetables.! It is the third largest producer of food grain.
! It has the third largest output of fish.! It the largest producer, consumer and exporter of spices.At the same time, while processing of food to consumable standards are at levels of up to 80 percent in somedeveloped countries, the overall processing level in India has languished at single-digit level till recently."While the whole world was processing at 70-80 percent ,we were processing just six-seven
percent.Now,afterfour years, this has gone to 10 percent," said Sahai, adding thatIndia's share in exports ofprocessed food in a global market is just 1.5 percent at $3.2 billion.The main reason for this is that much of thefarm and horticultural produce goes waste or farmers are compelled to dispose them of in distress sales as thereis no adequate infrastructure to process and preserve the produce and especially increase its shelf life till itreaches retail stores. The wastage level of fruit and vegetables in India currently stands at a whopping 35
percent, explain ministry officials, adding it was to bring a complete turnaround to this schemeof things that the government launched the ambitious Vision 2015 programme. An essential part of the
programme is the flagship Mega Food Parks Scheme, which is instilling a lot of hope among stakeholders -
from agriculturists to industrialists- and 10 such projects are already in the pipeline acrossthe country. The ideabehind these parks is to make the country's farm sector more market-driven than supply-driven. Inother words, farmers will need to produce what the markets demand rather than what they feel like."Through food parks, processors will tell farmers, 'Look! this is what you will produce now since this is what isneeded.We need so much of this produce every year. This is thecurrent market rate, this was what you were getting, and this is what we will pay you'. So all sides are happy,"explained the ministry official."What we want is the farmers should get more and moremarket information." Each of these parks is expected to generate 30,000 direct jobs and several times of it inindirect opportunities. Based on the success parameters of the first 10 parks, the number will be scaled up to 30in the next five years. These initiatives are also seen opening up new opportunities for youth and that iswhy the government is setting up the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management(NIFTEM), not far from the national capital. "Courses in the institute will start from the 2010 session," saidSahai, adding a series of laboratories for carrying out research anddevelopment work at various institutes was also in the pipeline.The minister said India's food processing industry which has the potential to attract Rs.1,000 billion ($20
billion) worth of investment, now needed to link better with the world marketto achieve its full potential. "Wewill become the food factoryof the world."
Growth in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)According to the Reserve Bank of India, the actual inflow of foreign direct investment(FDI) in the food and food processing sector has been over US$ 711.4 million till March,2004. Total FDI in 2004 in the sector was US$ 111.2 million up from US$ 36.5 million in2003. Nearly 30 per cent of FDI in this sector comes from EU countries such asNetherlands, Germany, Italy and France. Some of the successful ventures fromEUcountries are Perfetti, Cadbury, Godrej-Pilsbury, Nutricia International,

There is a saying that companies need to, think globally but act locally.While foreign food products still entice us, the demand for world class Indian
products are also increasing. In order to satisfy the domestic taste birds manyMNCs have launched Indianised versions of their international products inIndia. since every market has its own taste & preference in order to grab thelocal market share it is necessary to modify the products to the local taste byusing global concepts & technology.

India has arable land of 184 million hectares and produces annually 90 milliontonnes of milk (highest in the world), 150 million tonnes of fruits andvegetables (second largest), 485 million livestock (largest), 204 million tonnesfood grain (third largest), 6.3 million tonnes fish (third largest), 489 million
poultry and 45,200 million eggs. India's agricultural production base is huge.However, processing level is very low i.e. around 2 per cent in fruits andvegetables, 26 per cent for marine, 6 per cent for poultry and 20 per cent for
buffalo meat. The share of India's export of processed food in global trade isonly 1.5 per cent. Hence, there is immense potential for investment in thissector. To facilitate the prompt growth of food processing industry, theGovernment has implemented the scheme for infrastructure developmentcomprising a food park scheme, establishing packaging centres, integrated coldchain facility, value added centres, Irradiation Facilities and Modernized
Abattoir.

50 per cent of household expenditure by Indians is on fooditems
Strategic geographic location (proximity of India tomarkets in Europe and Far East, South East and West Asia)
Indian food processing aims at consumer convenience; with push fromgovernment for private participation is coming of age.
The food processing industry is coming of age it is ranked fifth amongindustries of India. Nearly, one third of the entire Indian food market sharecomprises of processed food. With policy measures from the government, thefood processing Industry accounts for 13% of the country's exports. Theindustry's size is estimated at US $ 70 billion; including US $ 22 billion of valueadded products. Indians spend half of their household expenditure on food itemsat present. The industry would create 9 million employment opportunities fromthe current 1.6 m and investment of Rs 1,50,000 crore in the coming 10 years.
With over 1 billion population and 350 million strong urban middle class andchanging food habits, the processed food market is promising a huge potentialto be tapped. A joint study by CII and AC Nielsen (market research firm), tounderstand demand drivers for processed food brings forth the changing Indianmeal patterns: Working lunch seems to be replacing conventional meals in the
day, with a need for no fuss packaging.
In addition to this, the study says, Indians are willing to spend on globalcuisines. Multi-cuisine restaurants are mushrooming even in small cities andtowns. This reasons the array of foreign investors coming to India which isdriving the growth of the industry. Like investments to offer Indians the realtaste of Italian pasta; conglomerates from Emilla Romagina are looking at majorIndian cities to set up Italian food processing plants. Most recent one was the
proposal from West Midlands of UK to the Ministry of Food Processing
Industries of India. Other foreign food companies like McDonald's, Pizza Hut,Cadbury's, Tropicana, Pepsi, Coke, HLL, Nestle, etc. are already earning hugereturns by processing Indian food for domestic and global markets.
Besides foreign Investors, food processing sector is a major attraction for Indiancorporate houses to invest. Reliance, Godrej, Bharti, ITC, Hero, BallarpurIndustries, DSCL, Tata and Mahindra & Mahindra are prominent corporatehouses are with end-to-end integrated operations in the food chain.

Italy and France. Perfetti, Cadbury, Godrej-Pilsbury, Nutricia International,Manjini Comaco are some of the successful ventures from EU countries.
Major Food Processing Companies in India
The entry of multinational companies has increased competition in the foodprocessing industry. At the same time, these companies are facing toughcompetition from strong Indian brands. This level of competition has increased
innovations, facilitating a sustained growth of the sector and also improveglobal competitiveness. The emerging new growth phase of the sector is just inits initial stages with the potential for India to emerge as a leading food supplierto the world.
Foreign Direct Investment in FoodProcessing Industry
Given the huge market potential, theGovernment considers FoodProcessing a Sunrise industry.Thegovt allows 100% FDI in FPI. Anumber of overseas businesses arelooking at India as an investment
destination.
As the Indian market is booming,foreign companies are increasinglylooking at tapping this market.Foreign investment will definitely develop the Indian food and beveragesmarket, at the same time the quality of the product will also increase. As more
and more investment takes place in the retail sector, the entire food supply chain

will benefit as the quality as food will improve, feels executive officer ofADEPTA.
Investment opportunities are available not merely in food production, but also in
infrastructure development, marketing, inspection & testing services,technology development and so on. Recently India has received an encouragingresponse from investors in the UK for establishing joint quality control testingfacility for agriculture products and establishing cold storage facilities in thecountry. FDI in food already beats the money being pumped into the far moreglamorous hotels and tourism industry.
There were number of acquisitions and jhoint ventures led by MNCs in the lastcouple of years, which again proves the growing importance of this sector for
the foreign players.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the country's food sector is poised to hit theUS$ 3-billion mark. In the last one year alone, FDI approvals in food processing
have doubled. While there were only two private equity deals worth US$ 6.24million in the food industry in the whole of 2006, the current year has alreadyseen 11 deals worth a whopping US$ 158.21 million.
In the food processing sector alone, FDI has increased by almost three times toUS$ 110.56 million from US$ 43.62 million. And with growing interest ofcorporate players in the Indian retail market, the Government estimates FDI inthis sector to further record a three-fold rise to touch US$ 325.93 million by2009.
Many major multinational companies like Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Britannia, Danone,Nestle, Cadbury, Lever's Kelloggs, Heinz, International Best Foods, Walls,Perfetti and Van Melle already have a presence in India

Policy initiatives & legal aspects ofIndian food processing industry
Laws relating to food processing industriesThere are a number of food laws being implemented by variousMinistries/Departments. These are primarily meant for two purposes namely (1)Regulation of Specifications of food and (2) Regulation of Hygienic conditionof Processing/Manufacturing. Some of these food laws are mandatory and some
are voluntary. The details of various food laws in operation in India is as under:-
A FOOD LAWS:
1. Prevention of Food Adulteration Act (Ministry of Health)
The Act lays down specifications for various food products and is mandatory.The Ministry of Health in 1995 had constituted a Task Force under thechairmanship of Shri E.S. Venkataramaiah, Chief Justice of India (retired). The
Task Force recommended that there should be emphasis on good manufacturingpractices instead of detection of adulteration and prosecution. It also expressconcern about lack of laboratory equipments and quantified persons. In additionit also suggested that the name of PFA Act be changed to Food Safety Act.
2. Agriculture Produce (Grading & Marking) Act (Ministry of RuralDevelopment)
This Act is commonly known as AGMARK and is voluntary. The Act laysdown the specifications for various agricultural commodities including some
processed foods.
3. Laws being operated by Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
BIS is the largest body for formulating standards for various food items. Thesestandards are also voluntary.
4. Essential Commodities Act
A number of quality control orders have been issued under EssentialCommodities Act such as FPO, MMPO, Meat Product Order and Vegetable
42

Oils Control Order. These orders are mandatory and primarily meant forregulating the hygienic conditions. They need to be clubbed under one orderwhich may called Food Products Order.
B. Harmonization of Food Laws
The review of multiple laws is necessary to have a uniform and logicalapproach for regulating the quality of food. The following action is being taken
by various Ministries:-
1.The Ministry of Civil Supplies & Consumer Affairs has brought out a paperfor consideration of Committee of Secretaries (COS). The paper recommendsthat BIS should formulate standards for all food items in the country. This will
be a major step towards harmonization of food laws and is still underconsideration of COS for finalization.
2.The Task Force constituted by the Prime Minister under the chairmanship ofShri Nulsi Wadia has submitted its report which is under the consideration ofthe Government. The Task Force had advocated promotion of food safety andquality. The Task Force has further made following suggestions:-
o Food Regulation Authority (FRA) be set up toformulate and update food standards for domestic
and export market.o FRA should replace the PFA to conform to
international standards. The Task Force has given tenspecific recommendations such as provision ofstorage simplicitor, simplification of samplingprocedure, simplification of procedure for nominee,time limit for prosecution, standard methods ofanalysis to be prescribed, penalty should gradedaccording to the gravity of offences and provision of
adequate/infrastructure and laboratories.
o Harmonisation of Indian standard with quality normsof Codex and WTO.
The Central Committee of food Standard (CCFS) should be
replaced by FRA governing body for expeditious decisions.

Conclusion
Indias humungous market size, ravenous appetite for food
(given the existing low per capita consumption) with growing
income and changing lifestyle create incredible market
opportunities for the global manufacturers of food products &
machinery and service providers. The policies are investors
friendly. Importantly, financial, technological and human
resources are available aplenty in country.
Given the growth potential of the Indian food and beverage
market, many companies are drawing up their expansion
plans. Director of ORANA A/S discloses India is one of ourfocus market. as the market grows we will invest in India
accordingly. Innovation will be are focused area: we will take
this innovation to our global market. Local manufacturing is
also on our radar screen.
With private equity players joining in the action, FDI in food
sector is poised to exceed Euro 2.1 billion. In the last year alone
FDI approvals in food processing have doubled, according tothe report. According to a Venture Intelligence Report, while
the food and beverage sector witnessed private equity
investments of Euro 4.2 million in two deals last year, this year
has already seen 11 deals worth Euro 106.4 million. There
appears to be high scope for consolidation in a fragmented
market, with most business promising good and sustainable
returns. In fact companies are recording higher growth rate
from this sector compared to the home & personal caresegment.
For global players it makes tremendous investment and
commercial sense to be a part of the burgeoning Indian food
processing industry. Commitment and patience are the key to
success in this industry, so this is JUST THE
BEGINNING

Points to be noted:
Foreign direct investment of around US$1 billion has already beenapproved in India's food processing industry since 1991.
Changing lifestyles, breakdown of the joint-family system, increasing
number of working wives and Western influence (via TV channels) inthe urban areas are fuelling a demand for packaged foods.
India already has all the requirements for a head-start in the food-processing industry. Basic materials such as foodgrains, pulses,vegetables and meats (non-beef) can be sourced locally or easilyimported if local availability is inadequate.
Foreign investors can own 100 per cent equity in plants they set up.However, it is advisable to take a local partner.
Many Indian firms are eagerly seeking foreign partners for joint-ventures to avail of their technological advantage.
Supermarkets are just beginning to appear in India's big cities and this isthe time for international chains to set a foothold. Competition will onlyincrease with time.
There has been some civilised resistance from ultra-nationalistic
quarters of opinion to foreign food products. This resistance will be lessif a local partner is involved.
India's liberal intelligentsia is gradually building the opinion thatforeign investments in the processed food sector will benefitrural agriculture, thus beating the nationalists with their ownslogans. The liberal intelligentsia is gradually prevailing.
