INDUSTRY PROFILE

PROFILE OF THE INDUSTRY
India is the world‘s second largest producer of food next to China, and has the
potential of being the biggest with the food and agricultural sector. The total food production
in India is likely to double in the next ten years and there is an opportunity for large
investments in food and food processing technologies, skills and equipment, especially in
areas of canning, Dairy and Food Processing, Speciality Processing, Packaging, Frozen
Food/Refrigeration and Thermo Processing. Fruits and vegetables, Fisheries, Milk and Milk
products, Meat and Poultry, Packaged/Convenience Foods, Alcoholic Beverages and Soft
Drinks and Grains are important sub-sectors of the food processing industry. Health food and
health food supplements are another rapidly rising segment of the industry which is gaining
vast popularity amongst the health conscious.
The food industry has given us a food supply so plentiful, so varied, so inexpensive,
and so devoid of dependence on geography or season that all but the very poorest of
Americans can obtain energy and nutrients to meet biological needs. Indeed, the U.S. food
supply is so abundant that it contains enough to feed everyone in the country nearly twice
over- even after exports are considered. The overly abundant food supply combined with a
society so affluent that most people can afford to buy more food than they need, sets the stage
for competition. The food industry must compete fiercely for every dollar spent on food, and
companies expend extraordinary resources to develop and market products that will sell,
regardless of their effect on nutritional status or waistlines. To satisfy stockholders, food
companies must convince people to eat more of their products or to eat their products instead
of those of competitors. They do so through advertising and public relations, of course, but
also working tirelessly to convince government officials, nutrition professionals, and the
media that their products promote health or at least do no harm. Much of this work is a
virtually invisible part of contemporary culture that attracts only occasional notice.

7
SOCIETAL ATTACHMENT:
The ways in which food companies use political processes—entirely conventional and
nearly always legal—to obtain government and professional support for the sale of their
products. Its twofold purpose is to illuminate the extent to which the food industry determines
what people eat and to generate much wider discussion of the food industry's marketing
methods and use of the political system.
WORLD SCENARIO
In the last few decades the international trade in food products has grown by leap and
bounds. An estimated 750000 tones of food valued millions of US dollars are now imported
globally every year. Since the population increasing day and food is the basic need the
demand for food products are increasing considerably around the globe. The food industry is
complex, global collective of diverse businesses that together supply much of the food energy
consumed by the world population. Only subsistence farmers, those who survive on what
they grow, can be considered outside of the scope of the modern food industry. The US food
system is a complex network of farmers and the industries that link to them. Those links
include makers of farm equipment and chemicals as well as firms that provide services to
agribusinesses, such as providers of transportation and financial services.
INDIAN SCENARIO
Food industry is one of the fast growing industries in India. India‘s ―Food and Agri‖
business stands prominent as the largest and diversified, offering immense, potential for
growth and expansion. The Indian food industry is growing faster than IT and Parma. India is
the second largest producer of food next to china and has the potential in India is likely to
double in the next 10 years with the country‘s domestic food market estimated to reach US$
258 billion by 2015.
However to ensure full-fledged presence, companies still have to overcome huge
obstacle. One import is unviable in the large run. Indian food products are one of the cheapest

8
in the world and competing with these based on based on strategy of imports in unviable
proposition. The Indian food market has experienced a good growth over the year. The
economic liberation and high growth rate of economy has put a positive impact on the food
and agricultural market in the country. This has led to lesser import and high rate of exports
in terms of quality and quantity. After independence, the government put emphasis on
making the country self-sufficient through increased food and farm production. Emphasis
was given on the development of agriculture through better farming techniques, increased
irrigation facilities, more use of fertilizers and so on. This really put a positive impact on the
food processing industry which resulted in better yield. In 1960‘s, the government initiated
the green revolution to increase the food grain production. Emphasis was given on
forestation, irrigational projects, use of better quality seeds, improvised farming techniques
and so on.
The market liberalization policies in the 1990s led to favourable growth of the
economy of India which also improved the food industry in the country, since then, the food
industry has really developed to a great extent. More segments are coming up and also plenty
of foreign companies are entering the Indian food market. There constraints on having a
manufacturing presence as well. With control still on raw materials such a wheat and sugar
and high import tariff regine, it would not easy for manufacturing companies to control costs.
Both factors appear to give entrenched players and advantage. The demand explosion in India
is predicted on the assumption that the customer mind set has to change. This will happen
only when the price is right. In last few years, customers would wide have a favoured value
for money option resulting in a noticeable decline in the premium by brands.
The Indian customer has always been price-conscious. Against this backdrop, pricing
is key issue to be resolved by these companies. This means companies have to invest
substantially to absorb the initially. And the extent of these investments by both established
and new entrants is likely to shape the future for the indian food products business. Rapid
transformation in the lifestyle of Indians, particularly those living in urban Indians, has
resulted in dramatic increases in the demand for processed food. The main reason why
processed food is luring the urban Indians is the convenience that it offers to cooking, as they
don‘t need to spend hours in kitchen to get that appetizing food. Growth in working women‘s
population and prevalence of nuclear families with double income are other trends easing this
change in life style of Indians.

9
The food processing industry provides vital linkages and synergies between industry
and agriculture. The Food Processing Industry sector in India is one of the largest in terms of
production, consumption, export and growth prospects. The government has accorded it a
high priority, with a number of fiscal reliefs and incentives, to encourage commercialization
and value addition to agricultural produce, for minimizing prepost harvest wastage,
generating employment and export growth.
The most promising sub-sectors includes soft drink bottling, Confectionery
manufacture, Fishing, aquaculture, Grain-milling and grain-based products, Meat and poultry
processing, Alcoholic beverages, Milk processing, Tomato paste, Fast-food, Ready-to-eat
breakfast cereals, Food additives, flavors etc.
STATE SCENARIO
Kerala has always been ‗Leader State‘ in food processing sector. It has been a
major exporter of spices, cashews and marine products since independence, accounting for a
considerable portion of the country‘s exports. The prominence of food sector in kerala is
highlighted by the fact that the state has highest per capita expenditure on food in the country.
The Industries Department of the State Government has drawn up a blueprint of
the business incubator ―system that it intends to put in place as a mean to promote small and
medium industries in the state. The proposed system is so designed as to provide a network of
supporting services to the entrepreneurs to convert new and innovative technologies into
products and market them. The sectors that have been identified for introduction of business
incubators include low-end information technology, biotechnology, electronics and food
processing.
The food processing industry has been recognized as a potential area for
development of enterprises in the state. Kerala is the largest producer of rubber, cocoa,
pepper and arecanut. It is also a leading producer of coconut and cashew. The state has a high
proportion of small scale industries engaged in processing its agricultural product. Kerala
Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA) set up a world class food park
at kakkancherry, Malappuram in 2002. Four units with a total investment of US$2.5 million
have started functioning at the park.

capacity. Also the plants are located throughout Kerala making centralized productions very
difficult
PARISONS has an effective day out of machinery. The machines work around the
clock 24 hours a day the plant at Kozhikode was set up in 1992.in 2000 its capacity has
increase from 80 tons to 120 tons per day, making it one of the biggest plants in kerala the
plant is build in a four story building. It is in such a way that expansion of capacity can be
done easily it is placed in an area of three acres in west hill, Chunkam touch in the national
highway making transportation easier.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
This entire production process consists of series of operations carried out
sequentially to obtain the final product. Raw material procurement is from Madhya Pradesh,
Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, and during season from Australia.
1. MILLING
(a) INTAKE:
In view of the method of storage and transportation, the wheat arrives at the mill
mostly in gunny bags of 100 kg weight & is transported to the mill in lorries & by rail
transport system (I wagon with 200 ton) as a bulk material. At the arrival point, samples are
drawn & examined for the colour, smell, hardness, moisture content of the wheat as well as
percentage of foreign matter, hectolitre weight &gluten percentage.
The gunny bags are opened into an intake hopper, which is is kept at a height of about
1m, and is covered with a coarse impurities.
Mechanized handling of the grain at intake requires a few more additions like utilizing
a chain conveyor. The flour mill has 2 silo with a storage capacity of 2000 ton each. There
are different qualities of wheat procured which does not allow all the wheat to be stored in
the silos. This causes some wheat to be stored in the godown also.
There are 2 types of conveyers used, Screw and Chain. It is the chain conveyer used for
the storage of wheat in the silos. A jally is present where the wheat bags are opened where

57
the first purification taking away heavy materials occur. Then with the use of the elevator and
hopper, the wheat is moved for storage before which again purification takes place using
Drumfire which works with Jally inside.
Cleaning takes place in three stages,
 Pre cleaning
 1st cleaning
 2nd cleaning
.II. MILLING SECTION
To reorient and to draw the attention, it is reminded again that the object of milling
process is tc remove the bran layer from the endosperm to flour. It is the function of the break
rolls to remove the bran and the reduction rolls to reduce the endosperm. In the best design
and operated breaking system, it is never possible to completely remove all the bran without
pulverizing some of it and allowing it to become mixed with the liberated endosperm. This
material deteriorates the quality of the flour and increases its ash content. It is the function of
the purifiers, scalping sieves in the reduction system and the residue or tilling section of the
mill to remove a completely as possible, particles of bran that are released with the
endosperm. Thus for grinding of wheat into flour, we use break rolls, scratch rolls and
reduction rolls and after each grinding on these rolls, the ground stock is traded in a plan
sifter, and the graded products are sent t different destinations depending on the nature of
processing and quality.
These intermediate products of the break system are grouped together according to their
puril and granulation. With the 5th granulation, the individual fractions are of very close
granulaticrange. This help in very good purification of these stocks on the purifiers and the
production of flour with very low ash content, and different grades of flour is possible
a) BREAK SYSTEM
The object of the break system is to open the grain and scrap out the endosperm
carefully from the bran pieces, without fragmenting them. The pressure on break rolls is

58
gradually increased from first break to the lost break, to achieve gradual and almost complete
removal of endosperm from bran at the same time taking care to see that bran is not cut
unnecessarily from the first break to last break.
Passage Roll gap mm Break release %
B1 0.5 30-33
B2 0.3 52-55
B3 0.1 55-58
B4 - Clean bran
With the decrease in the roll gap, the break release i.e. the amount of material that can
pas through a 20 wire sieve(l 110/u), when sieved under standard conditions increase.
After each grinding operation on break rolls, the ground stock is graded in a plan sifter
and the graded products go to different destination. The coarse break stocks goes to next
break passage flour is separated out as finished product semolina and middling‘s are purified
and the dust ground on reduction rolls.
b) SCRATCH SYSTEM
The complete semolina from the purified are tested on scratch rolls. The scratch rolls
can be either fluted or smooth, depending on the hardness of wheat. The function of scratch
passage is to produce maximum amount of profitable semolina and least amount of flour.
c) REDUCTION SYSTEM
The reduction rolls are smooth rolls. Purified stocks as well as the dust from break
system are brought onto the reduction passages. It is essential that the smooth rolls have
rough surface, but not absolutely shiny surface, for the efficient grinding of the stock coming
to reduction passages.

59
The reduction rolls have a roll differential of 1:1.25. The ground stock is graded in a
plan sifter. The branny stock is sent to the next middling passage, whiles the flour, is
separated out as finished product.
d) PURIFICATION
The purification is essential, when the flour with low ash content is required to be
produced. The stocks to purifiers come from the first three breaks passages and comprise of
pure endosperm particles to which a pieces of bran is adhering (composite semolina) and pure
bran pieces. The difference in their densities and the air resistance among these components
are made use of to separate pure endosperm particles, which are subsequently ground into
flour on heads reduction rolls, whereas the composite semolina is sent to scratch rolls and the
branny stock to break rolls.
e) SIEVING
Sieving is done on a plan sifter. Plan sifter is a stock of sieves on which ground stocks
ungraded according to size. The stocks thus graded are directed to different machines such a
Purifiers, reduction rolls, bran finishers as well as packing as finished products, depending on
the characteristics of the products.
f) BRAN FINISHER
The bran finisher assists the last break and reduction rolls, in recovering the
endosperm from the coarse and fine bran.
g) DETACHERS
These are also called as flake disrupters, as they disintegrate the flakes of pure
endosperm produced as a result grinding endosperm particles on smooth reduction rolls. The
detachers are positioned between the reduction rolls and the plan sifter. They prevent the
flakes of endosperm pieces tailing over to the end of the mill. In the modem short system of
milling, they play an important role in realizing higher rate of extraction of flour.

60
h) CONVEYING OF THE STOCKS
The suction pneumatic system is the usual mode of conveying of mill stock in the
modem mill, because of the definite advantages. For horizontal conveying alone, screw
conveyors are used. The bucket elevators are still widely used, in Indian mills.
i) TYPICAL FLOW SHEET
For an understanding of the entire millings operation, a flow sheet is designed and
herewith appended, to depict the progressive milling of wheat in a 4-break system with a 3rd
granulation The end products Maida, Sooji/Rowa, Atta, Germ, Coarse Bran and Fine Bran
are also shown.
j) PACKING OF FINISHED PRODUCTS
In almost all the Indian mills, with exception of very few the finished produce straight
away all the 24 hours. However, to ensure uniformity of the finished products to supply the
products of definite products is essential.

Kerala. In the field of wheat products, Parisons group is the largest manufacturer in South
India.
This status enjoyed by the company very well explains the proficiency of the
company. The backbone behind his saga of success is the directors with the proper

LEARNING EXPERIENCE
The environment in an organization is totally different from what we experience in our
college and class rooms. There, the people are busily working towards achieving the targets
given to them. Even a small careless mistake may lead to crores of loss for the company. So,
the workers/employees must be efficient enough to make a bold move to finish the work
within the stipulated time to achieve the target.
Time is given more importance and ―no tomorrows‖ and ―no procrastination‖. There
will be deadlines within which things have to be done or completed otherwise hard
consequences waiting for us. Reaching the work place in time, being obedient and loyal to
the superiors and adhering to the work place etiquette are the important values to be adopted
to fit into any organization.
Got some tips regarding how to manage the people, how to behave with the female
counterpart, professionalism, team work, how to work in a group and how to be with
workers. I was able to understand the importance of human resource in an organization.
Without people there is no business. I understood the importance of treating the employees
well since dignified treatment of employees is indispensible for the growth of an
organization.
The experience I had in PARISONS was great. This was the first time in my life I been
to factory and studying about it. The people there were good, very helpful and supportive.
Finally I would like to thank the PARISONS team for giving me an opportunity and guiding
me to complete my internship training successfully.
