MESSAGEIndia currently exports agricultural products worth USD 30 Bn, however, this is only a miniscule portion of the global food trade. Given the rich and diverse production base, the potential for exports from India is immense. Export promotion continues to be a major thrust area for the Government and efforts are being made through its various departments to boost the overall agricultural economy. This is being made possible through various incentives, policy and regulatory reforms to boost quality supply, enhance food processing, develop adequate infrastructure and promote ease of doing business in India.
Given India’s strengths in the food and agri sector, we aim to capture a larger share in the global food trade and double our exports over the next five years. We are facilitating business, trade and investment in India in the best possible way. Indus Food is one such initiative which brings together global importers and Indian players on a single platform to build and expand their business.
The study “Opportunities for Food Imports from India” developed by YES BANK and TPCI puts forth India’s strengths in major subsectors and highlights key import and investment opportunities in the country. The report is a ready reckoner for our current and potential business partners to understand and further explore the plethora of opportunities in India. I congratulate all the study partners for their sincere efforts in bringing out this study on the occasion of Indus Food.
FOREWORDThe Indian agri economy, with production of over 1 Bn MT of agri commodities, is the second largest in the world. The sector is an important source of food and nutritional security, livelihood generation, provider of raw material to processing industries and a key foreign exchange earner for the country.
Today, India exports food products worth USD 30 Bn and is ranked amongst the top 10 exporting nations globally. India has also emerged as a major supplier of commodities such as spices, basmati rice, tea, mango, cashew, seafood and meat, with huge opportunity in organic, fruits & vegetables, processed food and Indian ethnic food as the next export favorites.
Given India’s rich resource base, location advantage and supportive policy reforms towards ease of doing business, India should aim at doubling farm exports to USD 60 Bn in the next 5 years. To create a strong presence on the global trade canvas, it is critical to put in place reforms at farm, infrastructure and trade level. I firmly believe that the Government’s recent initiatives in developing R&D facilities, farmer extension and FPO formation, better market access, setting quality standards, developing processing infrastructure and improving agri-marketing infrastructure, are positive moves.
Moving beyond the commodity-ingredient-products continuum, better collaboration between Ministry of Commerce and State Agriculture Departments for key commodities, provision for refrigerated vans linked to superfast trains especially for poorly connected areas and a dedicated green channel in key sea ports, amongst others, will further boost India’s potential as a food exporter.
On the occasion of Indus Food 2018, I am pleased to present this Ministry of Commerce & Industry - YES BANK - TPCI report ‘Opportunities for Food Imports from India’, which provides an extensive review of import and investment opportunities in India’s food sector.
I am confident that this publication will be useful reference for both global and domestic investors and stakeholders in the F&B value-chain, thus helping India become the global food factory.
Thank You.
Sincerely,
Rana Kapoor Managing Director & CEOChairman
FOREWORD
India’s trade in agriculture commodities has gone under significant changes in the post- reform period. Due to suitable climatic conditions, India’s trade has diversified towards value added agricultural commodities especially exports of fruits and vegetables, India being the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in world. This sector not only promises increase in employment but also assures reduction in poverty as it yields higher income as compared to food grains. It has been observed that over the years, with the increase in popularity of this sector, it is moving from rural confinements to commercialisation with increase in the usage of technology and upgraded methods of production. This effort is also getting a push because of the progressive Government policies especially for the horticulture & processed agro commodities.
Plausibly, we need to revamp our export promotion strategies to make industry players realize about our presence and competitiveness which could be converted into business. The novel marketing strategies need to be put in place to get more channels opened up for the exports. That apart, we may need to diversify the export destinations in order to increase export demand and ultimately export values. Eventually, instead of focusing only on the existing markets and fighting for the larger of share in developed nations, we may need to consider shifting our focus to potential markets in developing nations and least developing nations, where we can export with lesser hassles.
India exports fresh fruits, vegetables, processed products of fruits and vegetables, cut & dried flowers, medicinal and aromatic plants, seeds, spices, cashew kernels and their products, tea, coffee, meat. Shrimps, cereals and animal feed. This export basket needs to be more eclectic to meet the global dynamic food and beverage demand.
Since, India is bestowed with varied agro-climate which is favourable for growing large number of horticulture crops. Therefore, this sector has great potential for exports and ethical business communication. Trade facilitation organization like TPCI envisages to see India as a global leader in exporting agro and processed agro products.

1. Global and Indian Food Trade - An Overview
Exhibit 1: Share of different product segments in global exports
Global Food Trade The current global agricultural exports are valued at around USD 1.58 trillion,1 which account for around 10% of the total exports taking place globally. The major category of exports globally is the manufactured goods segment followed by fuel and mining products and agricultural products. World exports of agricultural products have increased by 70% since 2006.
Of the total agricultural trade worth USD 1.58 trillion, approximately USD 1.35 trillion is accounted for food products. The other non-food products like timber, wool, cotton, rubber etc. account for the remaining USD 0.23 trillion exports.

Opportunities for Food Imports from India 3
The overall export scenario in the year 2016 did not look very dynamic, as the prices of major commodities saw a slump. This also included some food commodities.
The European Union is the largest exporter of food commodities (USD 518 Mn), followed by the USA (USD 136 Bn), Brazil (USD 68 Bn), China (USD 66 Bn) and Canada (USD 46 Bn). The intra EU trade accounts for 74% of the export done by EU-28. The share of major exporters of food globally players is indicated below. The graph indicates the annual growth in export value (X axis), export value (Y axis) and share in global trade (size of the bubble).
India exported food products worth USD 30 Bn (in 2016) and its share in global export currently stands at about 2.2% taking it to the 9th position in the world food exports. The share of Indian exports is comparable to those of Indonesia, Thailand and Mexico.
For India, export of agricultural products contributes about 13% to the agriculture GDP and therefore, has a large impact on the nation’s economy. Though the agricultural exports from India saw a decline of 4% from 2015 to 2016 (largely due to drop in oil prices which led to softening of global agricultural commodity prices) , a comparative analysis of India’s ten year agri exports reveals an encouraging picture.
Indian agricultural exports grew at a whopping 9% compared to China (8%), Brazil (5.4%) and US (5.1%) between 2007 and 2016. During this period, exports of tea, coffee, cereals, horticultural produce doubled; while exports of meat, fish, processed products grew between three to five times.

India’s Export BasketIndia’s export basket is a diversified mix led by Marine (USD 5.8 Bn), Rice (USD 5.7 Bn) and Meat (USD 4 Bn) which together constitute around 52% of its total agri exports. While India occupies a leading position in global trade of aforementioned food products, its total food export basket accounts for only around 2% of world food trade, estimated at USD 1.35 Trillion.
The country is now taking steps to revamp its exports and increase its share in the global trade exponentially. The aim is to now move up the value chain through processing and value addition and bring in more stringent quality parameters and implementing checks and balances to adhere to the global standards.

Marine
India is endowed with abundant geographical resources suited for both marine and inland fisheries, such as long coastline (8118 km), rivers and canals (1.95 lakh km), reservoirs (2.92 Mn Ha), ponds and tanks (2.43 Mn Ha), and brackish water (1.16 Mn Ha). India is the 2nd largest producer of fish in the world (after China) and contributes around 6% to the total global fish production. The sector is a source of livelihood for over 14 Mn people and contributes to about 0.9% to the National Gross Value Added (GVA) and 5.3% of agriculture GDP (in the year 2015-16).
Starting from a purely traditional activity in the early fifties, fisheries and aquaculture have now transformed into a significant commercial enterprise in India. Apart from meeting the domestic demand, the Indian seafood industry is also a major player in the global seafood trade, exporting wide range of products and hence a source of major foreign exchange earner.
Indian fisheries sector is valued at ~USD 17 Bn with a total production of 10.8 Mn MT in the year 2015-16.Domestic consumption contributes to about 70% of the total market value while exports contribute to the remaining 30%.
In 2016-17 India exported seafood worth a record high of USD 5.8 Bn. USA and South East Asia were the key conventional buyers, while the imports from the European Union (EU) grew substantially during the year. Frozen shrimp maintained its position as the top item of export, accounting for 38% in quantity and 64% of the total earnings. Frozen Fish was the second largest export item, accounting for a share of 26% in quantity and 11.6% in dollar earnings, registering a growth of 26.9% in terms of value. Overall the seafood exports have witnesses a growth of around 11% since 2010-11.
Opportunities for Food Imports from India 11
The seafood industry has around 450 state of the art modern plants with an installed processing capacity of around 18,250 MT. More than 60% of these plants are EU approved.
Immense opportunities exist in India for fisheries due to untapped potential for deep sea tuna fishing, marine aqua culture/cage culture and ornamental fisheries. Domestic distribution network, being in rudimentary state and on the other hand increasing consciousness and demand for clean/hygienic, processed, packaged products offers exciting opportunities for both wholesale and retail formats (modern trade as well as through e-commerce).
Marine products are one of the highest foreign exchange earning category export basket. India currently has a 14% share in global trade and there is great potential to boost production, quality and expand to new markets with value added products. Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka are the most potential states for the development of aquaculture. Majority of the exports today happen from the state of Andhra Pradesh.

Meat
India has the world’s largest population of livestock and a large part of it is contributed by small and marginal farmers who own one to two animals. Livestock plays a vital role in the agricultural economy and is a key contributor to the socioeconomic well-being of rural masses. According to the 19th livestock census, there are about 300 Mn bovines (cattle, buffalo, yaks, and mithun), 65 Mn sheep, 135 Mn goats and about 10 Mn pigs in India.
The total meat production in India currently stands at about 7 Mn MT (2015-16) and has witnessed a growth of 6% in the last six years (2010-11 to 2015-16). The meat industry in India can be broadly classified into two segments: poultry (46%) and meat from other animals including buffalo (23%), pig (6%), goat and sheep (20%).

Unlike all other categories, only buffalo meat is the major export oriented produce from India.
Rising demand for low-cost meat from developing nations over the last decade has propelled India’s growth in the meat segment. India exported meat worth USD 4 Bn in 2016-17, led by Bovine exports worth USD 3.9 Bn followed by Sheep carcasses worth USD 0.1 Bn. India is currently the leading exporter of water-buffalo beef and sheep carcass, capturing more than 20% and 40% of the world export market respectively. The major export destinations for Indian buffalo meat include Vietnam, Malaysia, Egypt Arab Republic, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. The buffalo meat exported by India is mostly raw, de-boned chunks, used primarily in the processed and canned food industry.
The major meat production centres in the country for exports are Aurangabad; Nanded; Mumbai and Satara in Maharashtra; Goa; Zaheerabad and Medak in Telangana; Derabassi in Punjab; Barabanki, Unnao, Aligarh, Meerut, Saharanpur, Noida and Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh; Mourigram in West Bengal; and Gurgaon in Haryana.
The Government of India has taken steps for modernization of municipal abattoirs to provide safe and hygienic meat to consumers. Export oriented units have invested significantly in establishment of large abattoirs-cum-meat processing plants with the latest technology. Farm automation, abattoirs, logistics, processing and point of sale cold storage infrastructure are an opportunity in India, given the changing preference of Indian consumers for clean, safe and hygienic meat and meat products.
India’s Buffalo meat is preferred worldwide:
• Green livestock production system
• No practice of using hormones, medications for fattening of animals
• Free from major diseases
• Low in fat and cholesterol
• Slaughtered through “Halal” method
• Blends well with other meat

Spices
India is known for its spices not only because of the production quantum and diverse range but also because of their rich aroma, taste and texture.
The diverse climatic conditions - from tropical to sub-tropical to temperate-almost all spices grow splendidly in India.
The area and production of spices has seen a constant increase in the last 5 years. Spices have also played a very important role in the economy of India. The trade in spices is one of the oldest
Today, Indian spices are the most sought-after globally, given their exquisite aroma, texture, taste and medicinal value. The country produces about 75 of the 109 varieties listed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The current production of spices stands at over 7 Mn MT, spread across an area of about 3.5 Mn Ha.
and has been one of the most important forms of commerce. Like the trade of silver and gold, spice trade connected many different civilizations and helped the growth of global contact.
India has the largest domestic market for spices in the world. It is also the world’s largest producer and exporter.
The country accounts for over 18% of the global trade and within the Indian agri export basket the spices rank 7th in terms of Value contribution.

The estimated annual value of losses of agri produce currently stands at close to INR 92,651 crores. Annual value of losses in fruits and vegetables, meat, fish and milk is estimated at INR 58,478 crores.
The capacities of cold chain are largely concentrated in 2 states- including Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. This is largely due to potato cold storages prevalent in both the regions. The potato growing belt of both these states have large cold storage capacities, however these are meant for single commodity-potato. Most of these cold storages have conventional technologies in place. In India, potatoes accounted for 70-75% of total volumes handled, followed by multipurpose storage which accounted for 25-30%.
This is largely due to the huge gap that exists in the cold chain infrastructure from farm gate to Consumers. A baseline survey conducted by National Horticulture Board (in Dec 2014) estimates the total cold storage capacity in India at 31.8 million MT. The National Centre for Cold Chain Development (NCCD) has identified a gap of around 3.2 Mn MT in cold storage capacity, more than 69,000 pack houses, more than 50,000 reefer vehicles and a gap of around 8,000 ripening chambers in India. 92% of cold storages in India are owned and operated by private sector.

However, large unfulfilled gap exists in the sector for investments in cold storage, CA storage, reefers, ripening chambers, IQF, milk chilling and processing etc. Requirement for cold chain across all states.
The cold chain industry in India comprises of two major segments i.e. Temperature Controlled Warehouses (TCW) and Temperature Controlled Vehicles (TCV). The total industry size in 2016-17 was estimated at USD 3.95 billion with Temperature Controlled Warehouse USD 3.67 billion and Temperature Controlled Vehicles USD 0.28 billion comprising of 90% and 10% of market shares respectively.
The cold chain segment grew at a CAGR of 11-13% in the last five years (2011-12 to 2016-17) and is expected to reach USD 7.9 billion by the year 2021- 22 with a CAGR of 14-16% during the period 2017-18 to 2021-22.
There lies immense potential to upgrade the existing cold chain systems through new and innovative technological solutions and also set up new cold storage that are multipurpose. The focus of the sector in India is now shifting towards establishing end-to-end cold chain and not just storage. Besides this, there exists ample opportunity to modernize existing stores, setting up Modern packhouses, Ripening Facilities, Farm-gate or source point cold storage and Energy efficient technology. Utilizing solar energy to run cold chain is becoming prevalent in the country.
Other Investment opportunities include:
Research and development to introduce new varieties for domestic as well as export market. Also R&D for product development as per consumer preference and for
enhanced shelf life.
Setting up food testing laboratories that are technologically equipped to carry out tests at ppm levels, detect minor aduterants, toxins etc. and ate time and cost efficient.
Setting up processing unit for which the Government of India through ministry of Food processing Industries is also providing grant under its scheme of SAMAPADA
Setting up of processing infrastructure for exports for which APEDA provides grant
New Packaging technology for enhanced shelf life, retaining taste and texture, attractive, easy to handle and space efficient
Modern storage facilities & logistics

10. Conclusion
India is a land of golden opportunities. With a large and diverse food production base, the world’s second largest consumer base, a fast growing economy and a conducive regulatory environment, the country has become a leading investment destination. This is reflected in the over USD 7 Bn worth of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) that the Indian food processing sector has attracted in the past decade. The food and beverage sector, in particular, is being closely monitored by global agribusiness giants eyeing both trade and investment opportunities.
The reforms being implemented in India are aimed towards creating a congenial business environment in the country.
The new, unified and rationalized tax structure under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime subsumes a slew of complex indirect taxes across the nation. Farm, food and agribusiness sector in India has hitherto been subject to multiple direct, indirect and implicit taxation from inputs to the end product. Simplification and uniformity of taxes across states is therefore a much welcome move for the food and beverage sector.
The other major policy incentives currently offered by the central Government for the food industry are:
• 100% FDI is permitted under the automatic route in food processing industries and through approval route for trading, including through e-commerce in respect of food products manufactured and/or produced in India.
• 100% export-oriented units allowed to sell up to 50% of their produce in the domestic market. Export earnings exempt from corporate taxes.
• 100% Tax Deduction on Cold Chain CAPEX and Profit for new food processing and packaging units
• Loans to food & agro-based processing units and Cold Chain have been classified under Agriculture activities for Priority Sector lending (PSL)
• A fund of INR 2,000 crores has also been constituted with NABARD to provide loans at concessional rates to Mega Food Parks and units established therein.
• Recently launched a USD 1 Bn Kisan SAMPADA (Scheme for Agro-Marine Processing and Development of Agro-Processing Clusters) scheme.
Other than this, for maintaining highest quality standards and keeping in view the different country requirements, State-of-the-art packhouses, internationally recognized treatment facilities like Hot water treatment, Vapour heat treatment and Irradiation facilities have also been set up at various locations across the production belt.
