Desapping, cleaning, sorting, and grading are important post-harvest processes for mangoes. Desapping involves inverting fruits to allow latex to drain. Cleaning removes dust and dirt by dipping in hot water. Sorting separates fruits by quality, with damaged or unripe fruits removed. Grading further categorizes by size and weight into standards like AGMARK grades of A (100-200g), B (201-350g), C (351-550g), and D (551-800g) for marketing. These steps improve quality and fetch higher prices.
The document discusses key trends in India related to population, economy, agriculture, infrastructure and food consumption. Some of the main points include:
- India has a large population of 1.22 billion that is growing at 1.5% annually and urbanizing, driving increased consumption.
- It has a growing economy with GDP reaching $1.94 trillion in 2012 and projected household consumption doubling to $3.6 trillion by 2020.
- Agriculture is a major industry but faces issues like large post-harvest loss of 18-40% of farm produce and lack of cold chain infrastructure.
Agribusiness differs from other businesses in several key ways. It involves a large number of different businesses that handle the process from farm production to retailers. No other business is built primarily around the basic producer of its raw product like agribusiness is around farmers. Agribusinesses range greatly in size from small family operations to large corporations. They also tend to be more traditional and community-oriented compared to other businesses. Additionally, agribusiness is highly seasonal due to its reliance on farm production and is strongly impacted by unpredictable natural events that threaten crops and livestock.
India's seafood exports have the potential to reach over $3.5 billion by 2009 by focusing on value addition, expanding aquaculture, technological upgrades, and tapping unexplored resources. India's seafood exports grew from $1.6 billion in 2005-06 and are projected to reach $2.2 billion in 2007-08, with the potential for faster growth due to increasing demand from trading blocs like the EU, Middle East, China, Canada, and Russia. Key products for export include shrimp, frozen fish, cuttlefish, squid, and dried items, with opportunities for new products like tuna fish, mud crabs, sea bass, and ornamental fish.

Professional services firms are undergoing a profound transformation. The markets are changing and the old ways of doing business are becoming obsolete. Customers paying for professional services are becoming more sophisticated and more discerning. Why are we still doing business as usual when the world around us is in such extreme flux?
The professional services industry is attractive because it requires high skill and little capital to grow firms for lawyers, accountants and consultants. Consultants today in North America and Europe are delivering services in a more independent manner, and buyers are more adept at navigating the complex integrities of client-supplier relationships.
The old pyramid model of Partner – Principal – Managing Consultant – Senior – Junior is crumbling at its base. The need to have a large contingent of junior consultants (analysts) on staff, and the economic model (blended rate with lots of cheap labor at the base) is being replaced with new more flexible hybrid models, leveraging higher skills and higher rates, with shorter projects.
If we look at management consulting as a profession, we observe a huge increase in the market supply of consultants as the “Baby Boomers” (born between 1946-64) flood the marketplace as independents, and in small boutique firms, creating new demand for their services and expertise.
Management consulting is now a mature industry in the developed economies. Arthur D. Lille founded his partnership in 1886 specialized in technical research. Frederick W. Taylor created his consulting practice in 1893. His business card read “Consulting Engineer – Systematizing Shop Management and Manufacturing Costs a Specialty.” Many other well-known brands, named after their founders, followed in the early 20 th century and been very successful businesses for several generations.
As the Industrial Revolution changed the nature of production and distribution of goods and services, demand for advice on finance, strategy and operational organization grew steadily. In the first half of the 20 th century, firms like McKinsey, Boston Consulting Group, AT Kearney, and Booz Allen Hamilton grew in influence. Harvard Business School (Monitor Group) and other fine academic institutions provided world class research into organizational design and industry best practices.

The Indian consulting industry has grown rapidly in recent years and is projected to become a Rs. 23,000-crore industry by 2013. Currently valued at Rs. 19,000 crore, the sector sees the largest presence in Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, and Kolkata. The growth has been driven by increasing demand from both domestic and foreign firms for consultancy services. Major players in the industry provide expertise in areas such as engineering, telecom, power, and software. Differentiating in the future will require quantifying the value provided to clients and developing rating systems to compare consultants. There is also interest in measuring return on investment for consulting projects through objective evaluation.
My score is 5. We have a defined strategy but it could be better aligned with the wider business goals and priorities.
