In addition to fixed menus served by food delivery apps (aggregators and kitchen services), consumers are also offered meal subscriptions and DIY meals that can be customized to meet their dietary requirements.<br \/>\nOnline grocery delivery has soared during the pandemic, as health issues and reliance on home-cooked meals have received increasing attention. Growth is more focused on fresh produce. Gross merchandise value (GMV) for fresh produce increased by 144% in the first half of 2020, while staple foods and FMCG increased by 85% and 62%, respectively.

The demand for cold chains is driven by growth in sectors such as selling organizations. Retail, processed foods, pharmaceuticals, the growing shift to farming, and so on. Some of the market challenges are uneven distribution of cold storage capacity, lack of proper logistical support, and high capital investment needs. The Government of India is providing a lot of technological and financial support to promote the development of a cold chain for the horticultural and agricultural sectors.<br \/>\nAccording to industry sources, the capital market is already fragmented with the presence of many smaller companies. Of all product categories, the dairy industry has the most developed cold chain in India. In terms of volume, more than half of the processing volume of traditional cold storage is for potatoes. Currently, there is a clear shift towards general-purpose hosting and value-added services that meet end-to-end needs. Under PMKSY, the government has sanctioned 348 Cold Chain projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Way Forward<\/strong><br \/>\nThe Indian food processing industry holds tremendous growth potential and has gained further traction due to the pandemic. Going forward, India needs to recalibrate its strategy taking into account the opportunities created in both, domestic and export markets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(a) Domestic demand<\/strong><br \/>\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increased acceptance of processed foods. Rural areas and Tier 2\/3 cities are expected to continue to drive demand for processed foods. The healthy food, snacks, and RTE segments are likely to drive demand. The Hotel\/Restaurant\/Cafe (HoReCa) segment will play an important role as it recovers from the aftermath of COVID-19.<\/p>\n<p>E-commerce and direct-to-consumer (D2C) are replacing traditional retail as manufacturers redistribute supply chains after COVID-19 and reach consumers at their doorsteps.<br \/>\nThe industry should move towards an organized structure. The PM FME program was launched to formalize unorganized micro-agents in the agri-food industry. This will accelerate the planned transition from an unorganized to an organized structure. Regional companies and national manufacturers offering products that cater for regional tastes have enjoyed greater success.<br \/>\nPlayers with a national footprint and offering a wider range of products are likely to be more sustainable while competing with the local and unorganized segment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(b)Exports<\/strong><br \/>\nIndia&#8217;s exports of processed food products remain low and continue to be dominated by low- value-added products. Furthermore, industry experts say that Indian products are not competitive in terms of price and quality in the export market. In the post-Covid19 era, India can become the food hub of the world and increase its share of exports. There is considerable potential to improve India&#8217;s exports to the world&#8217;s top 10 food markets, especially given its limited presence. Key segments with export potential include meat and seafood and dairy products. The need to develop the ability to export large-scale, quality and profitable requires global certification to keep the industry competitive.<br \/>\nThe Government of India can assist exporters by negotiating Free Trade Agreements (FTAs), lowering Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs), and accelerating the implementation of the Duty-Free Scheme for Export Products (RoDTEP).<\/p>\n<p><strong>(c) Processing capacity and quality infrastructure<\/strong><br \/>\nThe opportunities in national and international markets in the post-Covid19 era require significant improvement in the processing capacity of the agri-food sector at all levels of the value chain. The government of India has launched several programs to encourage processing capacity in the meat &amp; seafood, dairy, and F&amp;V segments.<\/p>\n<p>The Production Linked scheme (PLI) has the potential to encourage businesses in the agricultural sector to build processing capacity and meet demand in the face of growing challenges. The Food processing industry is gearing up for the challenge and is likely to see enhanced investment in product expansion and geographical expansion. There is huge potential for complementary industries such as food ingredients, food processing equipment, food logistics, and food packaging. To enhance competitiveness and meet hygiene needs at a scale, stakeholders, especially MSMEs, will need high-quality testing and certification infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(d)Technology<\/strong><br \/>\nTechnology applications across the entire value chain can help reduce waste, maintain quality and improve the shelf life of food products. In a price-sensitive market dominated by small and unorganized players, technology has taken a back seat. There is a direct need to increase cold storage capacity without the scalability of perishable products can be challenging.<\/p>\n<p>The food processing equipment market is generally dominated by imports, which is expected to increase demand. With the right interventions, this could translate into an opportunity for domestic industry to match India&#8217;s mandate for Atmanirbharta or self-sufficiency. Digitized supply chains, smart warehousing, and Industry 4.0 logistics can help India reduce waste during storage and transportation. Smart supply chain management systems can help reduce the waste of perishables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(e) Institutional structure<\/strong><br \/>\nA coordinated approach is the need of the hour for the development of all segments of the food processing industry taking into account opportunities in regional preference, exports, quality management systems and measures to enhance the competitiveness of Indian products.<br \/>\nInter-Ministerial Body led by MOFPI and participation from APEDA, MPEDA, and FSSAI supported by a Food Processing Council (consisting of Industry representatives) can prove to be a catalyst in the future industry development at the segment\/ product level, tapping value-added exports and addressing issues and challenges\u2013 infrastructure bottlenecks, quality bottlenecks etc.<\/p>\n<p><strong>(f) Driving growth through innovation<\/strong><br \/>\nFood and food tech start-ups have achieved a CAGR of over 35% since 2014. Most of the startups are either in the agri-tech domain or food retail &amp; service domain with very few in the middle layer of processing.<\/p>\n<p>A thriving ecosystem for food processing start-ups is key to driving food innovation and driving industry growth. Innovative products focusing on health care, health, and nutrition will have great opportunities in the domestic market.<\/p>\n<p>During and after the pandemic, many companies have innovated and launched new products that cater to traditional and new cuisines that cater to regional tastes. Some of the areas where start-ups can play a role in driving innovative solutions include product innovation, shelf life improvement solutions, smart supply chains, logistics, and warehousing. To succeed, startups will need industry support to generate enough demand for building scalable solutions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4024&#8243; img_size=&#8221;400*400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;4025&#8243; img_size=&#8221;400*400&#8243; alignment=&#8221;right&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]BDB India Private Limited is a business strategy consulting and market research company.
