State Introduction
West Bengal is surrounded by Bangladesh in the east; Nepal and Bhutan in the north; and Bay of Bengal in the south and borders the 5 Indian states of Odisha, Jharkhand, Bihar, Sikkim and Assam. The state is strategically located. It is the gateway to North East India and a port entry, not only to the land locked states of Central India but also the land locked countries of Nepal and Bhutan. It is a major hub on the important trade route to South East Asia and ASEAN countries.

State government initiatives (1/2)
The state government has undertaken number of reforms to offer an enabling and investor- friendly business climate for investors keen on setting up business in the state:
‘Shilpa Sathi’ or the State Investment Facilitation Centre (SIFC) has been established as the state-level nodal agency for time bound single-window clearances for large industries in West Bengal.
‘Shilpa Sathi’ provides guidance and information to investors about policies and programmes of the state. MSME Facilitation Centers (MFC) have also been set up in each district for MSMEs.
Mandatory e-registration: West Bengal has made e-registration mandatory during company incorporation. The state has also introduced dematerialized registration certificate.
Digitalizing land records: Property registration application and payment has been made online.
The registration process to avail incentives has been simplified and the number of documents required has been reduced substantially.
The state has established clear timelines (15 to 60 days) for any statutory permission with provision for deemed approval in case the action is not taken within the specified timelines.
West Bengal has moved to a “No Bandh” regime (i.e. no strikes/ lockouts) to ensure that the companies, businesses, offices and public are not disturbed and to ensure a disciplined work atmosphere in the state.

Investment Environment & Opportunities in Food Processing: West Bengal 16
Snapshot of potential investable projects
West Bengal offers tremendous opportunities for investment across the entire value chain in the food processing sector. An indicative list of potential projects for investment is presented in the table below:
Project name Processable Products Value Proposition
Starch processing Starch, glucose and related by-products
Rapidly growing global demand for corn starch in pharmaceuticals and ready-to-eat food items
Rice milling Processed and packaged rice, malted food
West Bengal is the largest producer of rice in India offering availability of abundant raw material at competitive prices.
Global rice bran oil market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% till 2021. India has a potential of 1.4 mn tonnes of rice bran oil production but current production is 0.9 mn tonne thereby offering significant opportunities to meet unmet demand in a growing market.
Rice bran oil
Refined rice bran oil
Rice bran oil consumption in the country is rising and is currently at nearly one mn tonnes per annum. However, there is untapped potential to boost output and demand.
With West Bengal being the one of the largest producers of rice, there is tremendous scope for this industry in the state.
Dal mill Processed and packaged dal
There is a large market for pulses/dal in India where 90% of the produce is consumed locally. There is no organised dal milling activity in the region as the market is highly fragmented, thus providing an opportunity for consolidation.
Vegetable dehydration unit
Dehydrated vegetables
India is the second largest producer of fruits and vegetables in the world after China. West Bengal ranks 2nd in vegetable production in the country thereby offering availability of abundant raw material at competitive prices.
Rapidly growing Indian market wherein dried and preserved vegetables market in India is expected to grow at 16% CAGR by 2020 whereas global freeze-dried food market is expected to grow at 7% CAGR till 2021.
Investment Environment & Opportunities in Food Processing: West Bengal 17
Project name Processable Products Value Proposition
Potato processing Dehydrated potatoes, potato chips/wafers
Rapid urbanization and improving standards of living has led to many fold increase in demand of potato chips.
West Bengal is one of the largest producers of potato in India offering opportunities for efficient and timely supply while serving in one of the high demand markets.
Fruit processing
Dehydrated fruits, fruit juice, jam/jelly/marmalade, squash, papaya candy, watermelon juice, banana powder, fruit wine, processed pineapple , osmodried fruits
Global fruit processing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 7.6% during 2017-23. India’s fruit processing industry is however growing at a much faster rate of 13%.
West Bengal is the highest producer of pineapple and banana and second largest producers of litchi. It also produces mangoes, papaya, guava and jackfruit in plenty, thereby offering availability of abundant raw material at competitive prices.
Fish processing Prawn, shrimp, pomfret, squid
Global fish processing market is expected to grow by 2.2% during 2016-21 wherein India’s fish and seafood processing market grew rapidly at a CAGR of 24.9% during 2011-15.
This presents investment opportunities in a fast growing market, especially when West Bengal is the 2nd largest producer of fish in India.
