FOOD PROCESSING
▪ Food Processing is any technique or method that changes raw plant or animal material into safe, edible and
more palatable food.
▪ Why process food?
▪ Ensures food is safe to eat
▪ Makes food available all year round regardless of season
▪ Extends the shelf life of many foods
▪ Increases the convenience for consumers by reducing preparation time
▪ Makes some foods edible, for example, making oven fried chips from potatoes
▪ Makes some food palatable and more enjoyable to eat, for example, soy beans
▪ Can add extra nutritional benefits (e.g functional foods) or
▪ Meet specific nutritional needs (e.g gluten free)
▪ Primary processing involves a range of processes to make food safe to eat so that it can be consumed
individually or used in the manufacture of other food products. The physical form changes very little.
▪ Secondary processing is the methods used to turn primary processed foods into other food products either on
their own or mixed with other ingredients. The physical form can change quite significantly as a result of
secondary processing.
▪ Tertiary food processing is the commercial production of what is commonly called processed food. These are
ready-to-eat or heat-and-serve foods

difference in their weight, size, colour, maturity etc.
2. Done primarily to reduce spread of infection to
other fruits
2. Done to fetch better price in the market.

HEALTH AND NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS
Key Drivers
1. Malnutrition status in India and micro-nutrient deficiency
2. Affordability: Increasing costs of hospitalization are driving consumers
towards health supplements and nutraceuticals
3. Affluence of working population with changing lifestyles and dietary patterns
and increase in disposable income
4. Awareness: Increasing concern about nutrition, awareness and access to
information have led to an increase in use of health supplements and
nutraceuticals
HEALTH AND NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTS
Defined under
• Food Safety and Standards (Health Supplements, Nutraceuticals, Food for Special Dietary Use, Food for Special
Medial Purpose, Functional Food and Novel Food) Regulations 2016, and
• Fortified Foods defined under Food Safety Standards (Fortification of Foods) Regulation, 2017
1. Functional/ fortified
foods
e.g. nutrition fortified
flour, oil, malted powder,
breakfast cereals,
probiotic foods like
yoghurt etc
2. Functional beverages
e.g. sports and energy
drinks, fortified juices etc
3. Dietary Supplements
e.g. Vitamin and mineral
supplements,
antioxidants, tonics,
herbal extracts like
Chyawanprash, Moringa
powder, non herbal
extracts like cod liver oil

REQUIREMENTS FOR SETTING
UP BUSINESS ENTERPRISE
▪ Entity: sole proprietorship, partnership, one person
company, limited liability partnership, private limited
company and public limited company
▪ Contract of lease for space
▪ Licensing and Registration
▪ Trade license
▪ Shops and establishments license
▪ FSSAI license

▪ GST
CURRENT STATUS AND CHALLENGES
▪ There are about 25 lakh unregistered food processing enterprises which constitute 98% of the
sector and are unorganized and informal.
▪ Nearly 66 % of these units are located in rural areas and about 80% of them are family-based
enterprises.
▪ This sector faces a number of challenges including
▪ the inability to access credit, high cost of institutional credit,
▪ lack of access to modern technology,
▪ inability to integrate with the food supply chain and
▪ compliance with the health & safety standards.
▪ Strengthening this segment will lead to a reduction in wastage, creation of off-farm job
opportunities and aid in achieving the overarching Government objective of doubling farmers’
income.

Editor's Notes

  • #26  It is technique where the commodity is left in the field itself in a heap under shade for few days.
  • #47 Organising farmers into farmer producer organisations and reaching out to consumers is an important dimension of our work. Federated model of bring collectives of producers and consumers together is now seen as one of the successful model and we are now working with more than 250 FPOs We now have consumer collectives in hyderabad and mumbai and going to launch in Vishakapatnam, vijayawada and bangalore as well You can start a collective in your offices or residential complexes and gated communities We started Food info mart to provide information on what food does to environment and fthe armer who has grown it before it comes to your plate We now have nutritional counselling and cookery classes Trainings on urban gardening, biowaste recycling You can also volunteer and support these farmer or consumer communities We also started FPOhub an incubation centre for the farmer producer organisations and rural enterprises..pls do extend ur support join the community of supporting rural enterprises and building their skills You purchasing behavior also matters. Today farmers share is less than 25% in the consumers’ price. Buy directly from farmers and farmers cooperatives. Pay directly to farmers. There are no of initiatives where producers and consumers came together to create better access to organic food for consumers and better prices for farmers ----------------------------------------------------------------
  • #56 Farmers are certified under Participatory Guarantee System (PGS) and third party certification (ICS). Sahaja Aharam is also managing a tracking system where each packet can be traced back to the farmer/farmer group by scanning the QR code.
