India is attracting
attention as it is set to be the world’s largest food
"factory", valued at US $140 billion by the year
2005. Currently, its processed food market is growing at a phenomenal rate. It offers fantastic opportunities to overseas
entrepreneurs who wish to expand their foreign markets by using India as a sourcing
centre for regional exports, transfer technology or sign joint ventures. Indian exporters
and entrepreneurs would also largely benefit from many opportunities that this sector has
opened.
With the disposable incomes on the rise in India, the
market for value-added processed foods is projected to treble to US$
50 billion in the next ten years, according to a study by McKinsey & Co. They
also identified dairy and poultry industries as two of the three areas with the largest
opportunities. Presently, even basic information on these upcoming areas of growth in
India’s processed food industries is not easily available. So, the publication of two
sourcebooks on dairy and poultry would be useful to you.
One index of their impact is that the country has
transformed itself from scarcity to self-sufficiency in milk and eggs during the last
three decades. As a result of wide-ranging technological progress, India
ranks as the world’s second largest milk producer and the sixth largest egg producer.
The story of this modern-day "miracle" is
documented in these two sourcebooks — DAIRY INDIA  (fifth edition) and Indian Poultry Industry
Yearbook 1994 (tenth edition). In publication for about two decades, each is
a mini-encyclopaedia in its field, being a volume of over 700 pages. They present technical and economic reviews, reports and data on key aspects of
production, processing, marketing, extension, training and R&D. The dairy
sourcebook is the fifth in the series, while that on poultry is the tenth. |

These compendia also
project new insights, market opportunities and investment prospects
that these two key livestock sectors offer to the enterprising. The emerging scenario is
supported with hundreds of tables, charts and graphs to illustrate advances recorded.
The assessments and projections that these sourcebooks
provide form the basis for planning by dairymen and poultrymen, nationally and
internationally. Mr Barry Wilson, Editor of the "Dairy
Industry Newsletter" of UK has noted: "Dairy
India 1997 is probably the most comprehensive analysis published by any milk producing
country in the world".
The two compendia, over the years, have grown to the
status of being recognized standard works of reference, analyses and ideas for the
professionals.
