This document discusses the processed food industry in India. It covers key areas like industry segments, existing structure, major players, government policies, processing techniques, and research and development. The processed food sector has grown significantly in recent years due to availability of raw materials and relaxed policies. While food processing in India is still lower than other countries, there is huge potential for growth given the wide variety of agricultural products and large consumer base. The industry is expected to continue expanding rapidly, benefiting consumers, producers and the overall economy.
