Indian Environmental condition for bread manufacturing:
The Policy will seek to create an appropriate environment for entrepreneurs to set up Food Processing Industries through:
1. Fiscal initiatives/interventions like rationalization of tax structure on processed foods and machinery used for the production of processed foods.
2. Harmonization & Simplification of food laws
3. A concerted promotion campaign to create market for processed foods by providing financial assistance to Industry Associations, NGOs/Cooperatives, Private Sector Units, State Government Organization for undertaking generic market promotion.
4. Efforts to expand the availability of the right kind and quality of raw material round the year .
5. Strengthening of database and market intelligence system through studies and surveys to be conducted in various States to enable planned investment in the appropriate sector matching with the availability of raw material and marketability of processed products.
6. Strengthening extension services and to the farmers and cooperatives in the areas of post harvest management of agro produce to encourage creation of pre-processing facilities near the farms like washing, fumigation, packaging etc.
7. Efforts to encourage setting up of agro-processing facilities as close to the area of production as possible to avoid wastage and reduce transportation cost.
8. Promotion of investments, both foreign and domestic.
9. Simplification of documentation and procedures under taxation laws
I. BACKWARD LINKAGE
1. Establishment of a sustained and lasting linkage between the farmers and the processors based on mutual trust and benefits by utilizing the existing infrastructure of cooperative, village panchayats and such other institutions.
2. Development of Futures Market in the best interest of both the farmers and the processors ensuring a minimum price stability to the farmer and a sustained supply of raw material to the processor.
3. Mechanism to reduce the gap between the farm gate price of agroproduce and the final price paid by the consumer.
4. Setting up of an Equalization Fund to ensure sustained supply of raw material at a particular price level and at the same time to plough back the savings occurring in the eventuality of lower price to make the Fund self-regenerative.
II. FORWARD LINKAGE
1. Establishment of a strong linkage between the processor and the market to effect cost economies by elimination of avoidable intermediaries.
2. Establishment of marketing network with an apex body to ensure proper marketing of processed products.
3. Development of marketing capabilities both with regard to infrastructure and quality in order to promote competitive capabilities to face not only the WTO challenge but to undertake exports in a big way.
