Food Processing Business

May 4, 2010 12 Comments

Question:

Hi sir, I had recently completed my Masters in Food Science and technology from Australia. I came back to India a month ago, to start a business in the area of food processing.

I have absolutely no idea of what to do and where to start. I was searching in the internet and i got to read your site. I am really impressed by the article and the answers you have given to other people’s questions.

I would be grateful to you if you could give me some business idea in this field. I have my own land and i am ready to invest 100,000 USD in my business. I am a resident of Hyderabad.

Answer:

Start Food Processing Business in India

You have your own land and good amount for investing, that’s brilliant. You have done a course about the same as well. So I would suggest you to start your venture in your state first. You can carryout your business in various areas for ex.

  • Fruit juice,
  • Ready to cook packets,
  • Breads, cakes,
  • Spices,
  • Namkeen snacks, etc.

And you have a handsome amount to invest with your self. If you put this money 1,00,000 USD as margin, you can get another loan of 4,00,000 USD and with this much money, you can start your business with a blast. So the plan I have suggested is god enough for you. You can start from your state and later on you can go on with more than one state and the same way ahead. Your business may have national recognition after couple of years.

If you want to know more any thing or any queries, you can surely ask questions.

Thank you.

    Ms. Pooja,
    There is a special column in this website about the Eco-friendly products. You just read that column and read the question-answers, you will get enough ideas.
    As far as the investment is concerned, you can start this business with low investment but not with no investment.
    If you have have your own place, machinery and all the backward integrations, you can start it without loan. Otherwise you have to invest money from loan or from other sources.
    Thank you.

    Hello Sir, I found your website very good and helpful. I just completed my MBA & wanted to expand my Family Business of Retail (FMCG) but due to family problem I had to join job. Now I am working in education sector in Punjab area. I want to start business that I can do with my job and later on with its success i could quit my job. I have ideas to start related to Food Processing. I heard that Govt. is providing lot of subsidies in Food Processing. As I do not have much funds, so I would be depending on loans. So can you please tell me in detail about the loan, formalities and challenges in this Business.
