EXTRUSION: an ever growing aspect of the Indian food processing industries

www.gfmt.co.uk

Today, we are witnessing dramatic changes in lifestyle which in turn is resulting in changes in consumption

patterns of consumers across the world. The lifestyle change of the consumers, across demographics, is associated with demand for more convenience and healthy foods. The demand for convenience foods has been addressed by the food industry through adoption of innovations of food scientists, technologist and packaging experts. This has resulted in a range of convenience foods across all categories of the food industry. The growth in the processed foods segment has been one of the most noticeable trends in the recent years in the Indian market.

Tapping India’s potentialIndia’s humungous market size, ravenous

appetite for food (given the existing low per capita consumption) with growing incomes and changing lifestyles create incredible market opportunities for food producers, machinery makers, food technologists and service providers. In addition, the policies of the government are investor-friendly and, importantly, financial, technological and human resources are readily avaliable in the country.

The sector has grown at seven percent a year until the Tenth Five Year Plan. With rising incomes and demographic pressure, growth is set to register 10 percent and more.

As demand for foods including conven-ience foods, packaged and branded goods increases, so does awareness about health and food safety. While food standards and labelling laws are becoming stricter by the day in developed economies, they are

increasingly being recognised as important in India too.

Food retail is taking-off and as it increases, the availability of processed foods will widen. The process of disintermediation has begun and supply chain efficiencies are set to improve.

A prominent feature of the processed foods industry is the presence of multi-national corporations. Many have already identified the potential of the Indian market.

Government backingThe Ministry of Food Processing

Industries has a number of incen-tives schemes that entrepreneurs can benefit from. Given the huge market potential, the Indian gov-ernment considers food process-ing as ‘sunrise’ industry.

Major trends in the Indian food processing industries reveal an expanding product variety and improved packaging. Interestingly, regional brands are coming to the fore. Improvements are seen in food retail environment.

Mergers and acquisitions are beginning to happen. This trend, currently nascent, will eventually lead to consolidation of capaci-ties and modernisation. Beyond-border investments take place from India.

The Indian government allows 100 percent foreign direct invest-ment in the food processing industry. A number of overseas businesses are currently looking at India as an investment destination. Investment opportunities are avail-able not merely in food produc-

tion, but also in infrastructure development, marketing, inspection and testing services, technology development and so on.

Given the skew in income distribution among the population, there will be demand for processed foods at every price point – from low-end product to high-end product. This is a big advantage to producers while examining market size and investment.

story is real in terms of human development indicators, the performance has been a cause for concern. India is way down in the Human Development Index and very high in Global Hunger Index. As per National Family Health Survey, 42.5 percent of children under the age of five are underweight and 69.5 percent anaemic. Pervasive malnutrition and under-nutrition is reported across the country. Serious calorie and protein deficiency is seen especially in rural areas. The risk that the country may rapidly move towards nutrition insecurity is real.

Given the age profile of the population (31 percent below the age of 15, and 53 per-cent below the age of 25 representing the future of India), the implications are serious. Malnutrition exerts long-term adverse effect on human health, labour productivity and general wellbeing. It is recognised that per-petual under-nutrition results in low resist-ance to infections and increased morbidity.

Versatile processing Extrusion technology is one of the most

versatile food processing techniques with wide range of applications. One of the most important applications of extrusion technol-ogy is to produce healthy and nutritious alternates /analogues to some staples. Also, extrusion technology can help in utilising low cost raw materials as well as underutilised grains to manufacture these analogues in

large quantities. One of the unique features of this tech-nology is to fortify processed food products with micro-nutrients.

As extrusion process is a high temperature short time process, it can retain the micronutrients efficiently. Some of the most promis-ing products that can allevi-ate both micronutrient and macronutrient malnutrition are, textured protein prod-ucts, lentil analogue, recon-stituted rice, snack products etc. All these products can be efficiently fortified with various micronutrients.

A variety of applications

One further advantage of this technology is to reduce the cooking time of the proc-essed products. This has an economic advantage while using these processed prod-ucts in the feeding programmes. This technol-ogy can be used to manufacture a number of processed and value added food products in large volumes. Some of the products and applications which have relevance to food

and nutrition security in India include: micro-nutrient fortification of basic commodities; manufacturing reconstituted rice; production of textured soy proteins in large volumes; manufacturing high protein snacks.

There is nothing quite like IPPE. The integra-tion of three interna-

tionally recognised trade shows brings suppliers and buyers together for education, technol-ogy exchange and network-ing encompassing the entire spectrum of farm to table.

This year, the combination of the International Feed Expo (IFE), the International Poultry Expo (IPE), and the American Meat Institute’s International Meat Expo (IME) will attract over 25,000 attendees from over 100 countries and over 1,100 exhibitors.

While the IPE focuses on poul-try and egg producers and the IME meat processing, the IFE is designed for manufacturers of feed, pet food, feed ingredients and equipment.

In addition to the mammoth 400,000 square feet trade show, there will also be a full education programme with sessions in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

GFMT caught up with Sarah

Novak, vice president, membership and public relations, American Feed Industry Association, USA to talk about her involvement with the event.

What is your role at IPPE?I am one of three points of con-

tact for the International Production and Processing Expo, who also include Dr. Charlie Olentine, U.S. Poultry & Egg Association and Anne Halal, American Meat Institute. Olentine and his team focus on the International Poultry Expo part of IPPE; Halal and her team focus on the International Meat Expo and I, along with the staff at AFIA, focus on the International Feed Expo.

What are the themes of IPPE?

‘One Show, Once A Year…Endless Opportunities’ sums it up well. With three partners this year, there are endless opportunities for attendees in all the feed and protein sectors.

The IPPE offers one location for the feed industry to network, learn

about and see the latest in new technology. The three combined expos offer an unprecedented opportunity to access a dynamic purchasing audience, key decision makers and international customers from all segments of the industry.

With so many industry shows, why should people attend IPPE?

The show offers a unique opportunity for attendees to net-work with others in the feed and grain industry, to see the latest tech-nological developments first-hand, and to meet with the designers and technical staffs behind these new developments.

What are you going to make sure you do at IPPE?

I would encourage people to visit the Tech XChange as well as the New Products area. The Tech XChange will provide 20-minute educational presentations from exhibitors on new products and services. The New Product Showcase is an area where exhibitors will have posters highlighting new product and technologies for the feed, poultry and meat industries.

How has the IPPE changed and developed?

IPPE continues to expand year after year and in 2013, with the addition of AMI’s International Meat Expo, it is expected to be the largest expo yet. In addition, as attendees provide feedback on various educational programme needs, IPPE has added additional pro-graming to meet those needs.

The Pet Food Conference was added six years ago to address the needs of pet food and pet food ingredient manufacturers. Today the Pet Food Conference is a premier event addressing the regulatory issues impacting today’s pet food industry.

The American Meat Institute and USPOULTRY are both focus-ing on education programmes that will meet the needs of their specific industries, bringing us together to exchange ideas and uncover new solutions for our businesses. This consolidation allows our core audi-ence and the suppliers that partner with them to visit fewer shows, and get more out of their time away from their plants or offices.
