Virtual Roadshow : Global Industry Cluster Excellence – Agri & FoodNeed to encourage agri startups, take agrarian sector to global market for processed food through PPP mode: PM of India
Honorable Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi on March’2021 said that it is time to expand the agriculture sector to a global market for processed food through public-private partnership mode. Addressing a webinar on budget provisions for the farm sector, he stressed on the need to bring a food processing revolution. He said that the country needs post-harvest revolution or food processing revolution, and value addition in 21st century.
Honorable PM Modi said the government has taken various decisions for the benefit of 12 crore small and marginal farmers. These small and marginal farmers would become the driving force of the rural economy, he added.
With the country’s foodgrains production increasing, PM Modi said: “There is a need for post-harvest revolution or food processing revolution, and value additions.” He said it would have been better if food processing was given attention 2-3 decades earlier.
FDI in food processing sector falls 57% to $393 million in FY21
Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in food processing sector declined 57 per cent to USD 393.4 million (around Rs 2,926 crore) in 2020-21 as compared to the previous year, the government said on July’2021.
In a written reply to the Lok Sabha, Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Prahlad Singh Patel said the FDI policy and data are the under purview of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.
“As per extant policy, 100 per cent FDI for FPI sector is permitted under the automatic route implying that no prior approval of the Government or RBI is required. As per the Foreign Exchange Management Act (FEMA), the Indian recipient company has to report the inflow of FDI to Reserve Bank of India,” he said.
The FDI received by food processing industries (FPI) sector during 2020-21 stood at USD 393.4 million as against USD 904.7 million in the previous year.
The food processing industry has been slated for accelerated growth. It is projected to be a futuristic industry and it is anticipated that, over the years, it will emerge as a leading player in the global markets. As a result, the industry is seen to be witnessing feverish activity.
Food Processing Market size was valued at USD 143.51 Billion in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 235.67 Billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2021 to 2028.
Innovation in food processing technology, upsurge in the demand for processed food, and rising research & development in food processing machinery are expected to drive the market over the predicted years.
