The Indian food industry is poised for huge growth, increasing its contribution in world food trade every year. In India, the food sector has emerged as a high-profit sector on the back of the scope it offers for value addition, particularly with the food processing industry getting recognized as a high-priority area. The Indian food and grocery market is the world?s sixth largest, with retail contributing 70% of the sales. It is projected to grow at the rate of 104%, touching US$ 482 billion by 2020. The Indian food processing industry accounts for 32% of the country?s total food market, 14% of manufacturing GDP, 13% of India?s exports and 6% of total industrial investment. Indian food service industry is expected to reach US$ 78 billion by 2018.

The role of the Indian government has been instrumental in the growth and development of the industry. The government through the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) is making all efforts to encourage investments in the sector. It has approved proposals for joint ventures (JV), foreign collaboration, industrial licences and 100% export oriented units. This support from the government has and will generate many more employment opportunities for workers like Mukadam, Salt Production.
