Food Processing Industry in India Unleashing the Potential of the Non-alcoholic Beverage Sector

The report is the first exhaustive study on the nonalcoholic beverage sector as a case study for reforming the Indian food-processing sector. It examines the contribution of the sector to the Indian economy through development of manufacturing, creation of employment, increase in investment, technology transfer, enhancing exports, and linking Indian agriculture to the global production networks. The report covers agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and consumers and identifies the barriers faced by the food-processing sector, in general, and nonalcoholic beverage sector, in particular. It suggests policy reforms that will enhance the GDP growth, create employment, attract investment, improve India’s trade balance, and enable the country to become a part of the global processed-food value chain. The report provides market-entry and operations strategies to businesses in emerging markets such as India and enables policy makers to prioritize policy reforms.
