Impact of globalization on food industry in india - by Centre for Processed F...chetanlh
This document discusses the impact of globalization on the Indian food industry. It begins by defining globalization as the integration of the world economy through reduced trade barriers and increased capital and information flow. Globalization has significantly impacted India since the 1990s when economic reforms opened up the country.
For the food industry, globalization presented both challenges in meeting new international standards, as well as opportunities for increased exports, investments, and adoption of new technologies. While some argue globalization benefits development, others worry it could harm small farmers and businesses. Overall, the food industry has adapted to globalization by improving quality systems, welcoming foreign partnerships, and gaining access to global markets.

This document provides an overview of Pakistan's edible oil economy and market. It states that Pakistan is the world's fourth largest producer of vegetable oil. It cultivates oilseeds across 26 million hectares, with groundnuts, soybeans, and rapeseed/mustard accounting for over 80% of output. However, yields are low at less than one tonne per hectare. While production has increased, it has not kept up with growing consumption, necessitating imports. The document projects that demand for edible oils will rise to 21.3 million tonnes by 2015. It also notes that India imports around 40% of its edible oil needs and has lower per capita consumption than the global average.
The document provides an overview of edible oilseeds in India. It discusses the types of oilseeds grown, including major crops like soybean, groundnut, and mustard. It notes that India is the world's 4th largest producer but also the largest importer of vegetable oils, with domestic production meeting only 40% of demand. Factors that triggered growth in the past 25 years include increasing consumption, supportive government policies like the National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm, and high international prices. The sector is expected to continue expanding production and reducing imports in the coming decades.

- It also summarizes the current challenges facing Indian agriculture such as declining GDP contribution from agriculture despite many farmers, need for higher mechanization and irrigation, improving soil quality, and developing seed infrastructure. The role of transnational corporations and need for an integrated policy approach is also highlighted.

IMPACT OF GLOBALIZATION ON AGRICULTURESabir Shaikh
Indian agriculture has made rapid strides since Independence. In taking the annual food grains production from 51 million tonnes in early fifties to 206 million tonnes at the turn of the century, it has contributed significantly in achieving self-sufficiency in food and in avoiding food shortages.

3. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Government of Ghana is committed to increasing private sector
development and agricultural capacity to realize its vision of Ghana as a
prosperous middle-income country by the year 2020.
The Food and Agriculture Sector Development Policy (“FASDEP” II) includes
plans to modernize the agriculture sector through strengthening value
chains, enhancing productivity, improving quality standards, and promoting
public-private partnerships.
The identified basic problems of the agriculture sector include: reliance on rain
fed agriculture and low level and relatively inefficient irrigated agriculture; low
level of mechanization in production and processing; high post-harvest losses as a
result of poor post-harvest management; low level and ineffective agricultural
finance; poor extension services as a result of several institutional and structural
inefficiencies; lack of ready markets and processing; low performing breeds of
livestock; poor feeding of livestock; high cost of feed for poultry; poor livestock
housing and husbandry management; competition from imports and poor postproduction management of livestock products; over-fishing of natural waters;
undeveloped fish value chain (e.g. inadequate supply systems for fingerlings and
feed) and lack of skills in aquaculture.
3
4. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The sector offers a unique set of advantages to interested investors, including
large plots of arable land, ecological zones that make the country suitable for the
production of a diverse range of commodities (maize, rice, oil palm, chili, cashew
and among others), a strong enabling environment for investment, and
established export channels to Europe and the United States
Strategies in policies and private sector-government participation to improve
agricultural performance should therefore focus on aggressive investments to
address these constraints and to improve agricultural productivity and enhance
market access.

5. THE STATE OF THE AGRICULTURE SECTOR IN GHANA
It is difficult for African economies to be competitive in global agriculture markets
due to agriculture subsidies in the U.S. and Europe, efficient farming practices in
Brazil and Argentina, and the scale of rice production in Thailand and Vietnam.
In terms of staple crops, Ghana is largely a net importer. Not surprisingly, global
maize production is dominated by the United States, which offers generous
subsidies to corporate farms in the Midwest, and Brazil and Argentina, which have
some of the most efficient agricultural processes in the world.
Rice quality is rated on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being the highest quality. Rice from
Southeast Asia receives a 2.4 on average. In contrast, Ghanaian rice receives a 4.7.
As a result, Thai and Vietnamese rice are popular in the urban areas, where
customers are less price-conscious (even though the difference in price is not
huge).
Other top rice importers include the United States and Pakistan.
Ghana is highly competitive in one key cash crop – cocoa, for which it controls
24.5% of the world market – and involved in the importation of several others

8. RICE
Overview
Top rice exporters to Ghana (2005-2010)
The value chain for rice in Ghana is divided into two
main channels: the local rice and the imported rice
value chain.
Rice imports are subject to an import duty of 20%.
Per capita consumption of rice in 2010/2012 is
estimated at 25.83 kg.
Rain-fed rice production contributes 84% of total
current production, generating average paddy yields
of 1.0 - 2.4 metric tonnes per hectare.
while irrigated production accounts for just about
16% of production but produces the highest average
paddy yields of 4.5mt per hectare.

Overview
Top African Oil Palm Producers, 2011/2012
According to MASDAR’s 2011 Oil Palm Master Plan
Study for Ghana, “the projected domestic national
demand for fresh fruit bunches (FFB) was 6.7 million mt
in 2011 while local production for that year was only
estimated to be 3.7 million mt.
In Ghana some of the major players include in
SIAT, Wilmar International and NORPALM.
Palm oil is 5-10 times more productive than other oil
bearing crops and has the lowest requirement for
inputs of fuel, fertilizers and pesticides per tonne of
production.
Palm oil presently accounts for a 21% share of the
global edible oil market.

10. CASHEW AND SHEANUT
Overview
Highlights
In total, more than 80,000 metric tonnes of raw cashew nut
was exported in 2011.
On the processors side, Ghana has an installed processing
capacity of about 18,000 metric tonnes.
The prospects of Ghana's cashew production is high
because the country can rake in between US300m and
US400 if increases cashew production from the current
50,000 metric tonnes to 200,000 tonnes annually.
With the global demand for shea butter in the Western
world, it has become a hot commodity.
Production was more than 20,000 metric tonnes of
raw cashew nuts in the year 2012, with its production
largely centred in the Brong-Ahafo Region.
It is used in food products such as chocolates. Confectioners
use it as a cocoa butter equivalent to give chocolate a higher
melting point and a smoother texture. The butter is used in
popular chocolate bars such as Milky Way and Kit Kat.
he country is considered to be the hub for trading
cashews from neighbouring countries, including Cote
d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso.

Corporate Overview
EU Imports from Ghana (ton)
The Ghanaian banana industry has a significant
advantage in that most of the banana farms were put in
place only a few years ago.
In 2010, bananas represented 47.7% of Ghana’s fruit
exports value to the EU market.
With the decline of the pineapple industry, the banana
sector ensures a sustainable alternative and constitutes an
important source of employment and
incomes, contributing to the social and economic
development of the country.
It is also a foreign exchange earner that contributes to
Ghana’s balance of payments.
