Ethnic drinks overtaking international juice flavours at over two times the pace of the international variants. The demand for ethnic beverages has triggered a spate of coconut water drinks too. According to Sanjay Singal, marketing head for foods at Dabur, in packaged juices and nectars market, the Indian variants are growing at double the pace of the international variants,", and the same also reflects in demand for traditional Indian flavours like coconut water or jaljeera.

hanging consumer preferences has taken a toll and even international chain like McDonald's have decided to launch kokum, raw mango (aam panna) and musk melon beverages to replace apple and orange juices in its outlets in west and south India this season. This is because now many consumers are choosing noncarbonated ethnic drinks over fizzy ones. Indian taste is shadowing the international trend and according to retail trade insiders that Indian flavours such as mango, litchi, pomegranate and guava have overtaken international ones such as apple and orange in the country, and are growing

Dabur, which sells juices under Real and Real Activ brands, has expanded its packaged beverage portfolio to introduce traditional drinks such as golgappekapani and aamras under Hajmola Yoodley brand. The share of of ethnic flavoured drinks in Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, `2,000 crore plus juices market has grown to 50% from 30% two years back as per internal industry assessment. Hector Beverages â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which sells only ethnic drinks like guava chilli, jamun kalakhatta, jaljeera and aam panna under its Paper Boat brand â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has now overtaken Del Monte juices that sells global flavours like green apple and sweetened orange.

Indra Nooyi, CEOPepsiCo to chair industrywide gender parity initiative Our Bureau, New Delhi

ndra Nooyi has been a vocal leader for equality in the food and beverage industry and to take this forward the PepsiCo CEO has partnered with Target Corp. chairman and CEO Brian Cornell to co-chair the NEW Future Fund from the Network of Executive Women (NEW).

and the $5 million capital campaign intends to encourage 50/50 gender parity via investments in technology. These technologies will promote women's increased representation in leadership positions by utilizing industry-specific data and insights and specialized tools for training and collaboration. According to Nooyi through the powerful partners NEW is bringing together, we have the chance to drive meaningful change across our industry, harnessing the talents of the best and brightest, women and men alike.

Earlier this month, at a conference she had spoken out about being called "honey" and "sweetie" in the workplace and not receiving equal treatment from her male peers. The fund's goal is to create more effective strategies for women to excel to leadership roles in the retail, consumer goods, and services industries

According to a recent Oxfam annual sustainability report, women's rights and equality is one of the categories that food and beverage companies received the lowest scores. The lack of diversity and/or lack of commitment to diversity and gender equality in the workplace are largely to blame. The NEW fund's approach to invest in technology addresses the issue by harnessing Big Data and technological innovations in training and collaboration to prepare women for leadership. Technology could provide insights into what might be needed to break down barriers for women.

Coca-Cola may stop selling soft drinks in glass bottles Our Bureau, New Delhi

oca-Cola is planning to stop selling soft drinks in glass bottles as they have become more expensive to produce compared to plastic bottles and weighty for most consumers to carry. The company is sampling Rs 10-12 small plastic bottles in Maharashtra, said people familiar with the development, and it may withdraw reusable glass bottles from most regional markets in the next three to four years. In its biggest market, the US, Coke stopped selling its iconic 6.5 oz (192 ml) glass bottles in 2012 due to similar reasons. Recently , Coca-Cola and PepsiCo, the largest beverage makers in the country , have come under threat from small local players, who have managed

to wrest away around 10% market share from the Rs 14,000 crore aerated drinks industry . At least 20 new players including Delhi-based Xalta, Alwar-based Jayanti Beverages and Bareilly's Boss Beverages have been nibbling away at the biggies' market shares with cheaper products packaged in small plastic bottles. Even packaged water maker Bisleri entered the segment this year with four fizzy beverages priced at Rs 10. Glass bottles are a nuisance for a beverage maker," said Ramesh Chauhan, founder of Bisleri. "First, you have to sell them many times to recover cost of the bottle. Secondly, their cleaning process is a big headache. Add to that their weight that increases logistics cost."

Centre releases Rs 25,834 crore as food subsidy toFCI

Our Bureau, New Delhi

he Centre has released Rs 25,834 crore as food subsidy to the Food Corporation of India (FCI), which will help in smooth procurement and distribution of grains and has reserved Rs 1,34,835 crore as food subsidy for 2016-17. FCI faced a subsidy arrear of Rs 58,650 crore till March 2016 and in addition the government will shortly release a wage and means advance of Rs 10,000 crore to FCI. The Corporation is also raising short-term loans up to Rs 30,000 crore from banks. Recourse to these loans will be made by FCI as and when required, it said. Thanks to these funds, there will be sufficient resources to manage winter procurement, which has just started, the food ministry added. In the past financial year, the government had initially allocated Rs 97,000 crore to FCI, which was later increased to Rs 1.12 lakh crore at the revised estimate stage. This helped bring down subsidy arrear to Rs 58,650 crore till March. To further bring down the subsidy arrear this year, the government might consider additional food subsidy over and above the budgetary provision. The bulk of the food subsidy is paid to FCI to buy foodgrain at the support price and running the public distribution system.

Food processing level to increase in coming few years

Our Bureau, New Delhi Food Processing Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal stressed that government aims to raise the food processing level to 20 per cent in next few years, to reduce food wastage. The minister said the Food Processing Ministry is working as a bridge between farmers and consumers and it has set up 42 mega food parks and 138 cold chains in the country. Food wastage has been estimated at around Rs 92,000 crore at present in the country and processing can help reduce the level of wastage as well as control inflation, create jobs and uplift the condition of farmers. She further added that it is through food processing, demand for raw material is created and food loss can be minimised which ultimately leads to better price of the produce to farmers, availability of quality food, higher employment and contributes in reduction of poverty and malnutrition. Highlighting the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s achievement, she said there is 38 per cent increase in FDI in the country and India is the fastest growing economy in the world and Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ranking has also improved in Global Competitiveness Index and ease of Doing Business Index.

Joining the protein revolution with algae and insects

Bühler and ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) are cooperating to ensure a sustainable food and feed supply for humans and animals Uzwil, Zürich – Providing enough food for the world’s population stands to become a gigantic challenge for humanity: An evaluation shows that by the year 2050, we will need an additional 265 million tonnes of protein to feed the growing population. In order to prevent a shortfall in supply, current production levels must be raised by 50 percent. Even today, protein supplies are difficult to sustain because a growing number of people are eating meat and fish. To close the looming protein gap, Bühler and ETH Zurich (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich) have entered into a close cooperation: “Together, we plan to create the basis for the industrial utilization of alternative sources of protein such as pulses, algae, and insects to ensure a sustainable supply of food and feed for humans and animals and to make them attractive for consumers,” explains Ian Roberts, Chief Technology Officer of Bühler. As part of this joint venture, Bühler is supporting the new chair of the Sustainable Food Processing Group at the Institute of Food, Nutrition and Health of the ETH Zurich, affiliated with the World Food System Center, Prof. Alexander Mathys. Proteins are the building blocks of life. Every

adult needs about 60 grams of high-grade protein per day. To feed the global population, agriculture produces some 525 million tonnes a year of plant products containing protein such as corn (maize), rice, wheat, or soybeans. Studies, however, have shown that by 2050 an additional 265 million tonnes of protein will be required annually to feed the growing population. Closing this protein gap is a serious challenge. For even today, our protein supplies are not sustainable because we consume too much animal protein in the form of meat or fish. Two thirds of all vegetable proteins produced end up in the stomachs of livestock such as cattle, pigs, poultry, or fish. “Intensive farming, mass animal breeding and fishing do not cover our protein needs in a sustainable and environmentally compatible way,” says Bühler CTO Roberts. “What we need are new, innovative approaches to protein production and processing. Otherwise, our agricultural systems face the threat of collapse,” adds Prof. Alexander Mathys of ETH Zurich.

proteins. High hopes are currently being pinned on pulses such as peas, lentils, or beans. These glutenfree sources of protein are currently experiencing a revival, especially in Europe and North America, although they have always been part of the staple diet in Asian and African. Bühler offers systems that not only hull, split and sort pulses but also process them in their pure form or blended with other raw materials to make pasta, baked products, snacks or meat substitutes. Such novel products make pulses more attractive for a wider circle of consumers because they do not have to change their dietary habits.

Although an increasing number of people enjoy eating meat and fish, there is no alternative in the long term to increasing the utilization of plant

In the medium to long term, however, the use of new raw materials is inevitable. Algae and insects especially stand out as high-grade sources of

protein. Microalgae such as Chlorella or Spirulina (Arthrospira) do not compete with existing farming land, grow quickly and take up little space. Their high-quality protein may be processed, for instance, into food and animal feeds. Whole algae and algae extracts are already available in the marketplace today. They are consumed mainly in Asian countries, but are also highly appreciated in the West by a small community of particularly health-conscious consumers. If algaebased products are to appeal to a broad mass of western consumers, they will need to be integrated in traditional foods without significantly changing their taste and texture. In addition to proteins, algae also contain valuable polyunsaturated fatty acids and color pigments. Further, insects such as mealworms or the larvae of the black soldier fly also hold major potential. They can be fed with industrial co-products or even certain types of waste and are astonishingly efficient: From 2 kilograms of feed, they build 1 kilogram of insect mass. Another benefit is their low space requirement. As a protein source, insect meal has similarities with fish meal. It could, therefore, revolutionize aquaculture as a sustainable source of feed and help reduce the pressure on natural fish populations. Insects are considered a delicacy in Asia and are offered in the market in a similarly wide range as meat varieties and cuts are at a butcher’s store in western countries. Europeans and North Americans, admittedly, still often find insects repulsive. However, if their distaste can be overcome by suitable processing – into protein powder, for example – and if open issues regarding food safety, the legal situation, and processing can be settled, insects may in the future become an extremely promising source of protein for human nutrition. Bühler is currently setting up a pilot facility with a partner in China for processing fly larvae and mealworms on an industrial scale. Its aim is to produce insect flour as a replacement of fishmeal plus a high-grade fat with properties similar to those of palm kernel oil. “The benefits of algae and insects are obvious. In designing integrated biorefineries for their cultivation and processing, it is important that we collaborate at an early stage with technology companies such as Bühler,” says Prof. Mathys, summarizing the motivation for the collaboration of ETH Zurich with the Uzwil-based technology group. A lot of questions regarding industrial-scale cultivation, extraction and processing of algae or insect proteins still remain to be answered. Bühler possesses vast process engineering expertise, which could be put to use in such future processing and production systems. For instance, the Group has already demonstrated that the most cost-efficient mechanical method for rupturing algae cells today is by agitator bead mills. This wet grinding technology is also used for manufacturing printing inks or paints. It allows particularly gentle rupturing of the tough cell walls of algae for extracting and separating all the valuable constituents.

A premium drinking water brand made from waste by products of food and vegetable processing

Our Bureau, New Delhi

former chemist in the wine industry has developed a premium drinking water brand made from waste byproducts of food and vegetable processing.To create premium water brand Aqua Botanical, Dr. Bruce Kambouris collected the water removed from fruits and vegetables when they are condensed into concentrate. He then purified it for drinking purposes. The water byproduct is safe to drink, and Aqua Botanical does not bear the flavor of the fruit or vegetable the water comes from. But previously, this water would eventually be disposed of rather than repurposed. This is another example of how sustainability can be a profitable pursuit for manufacturers. If manufacturers were to collect water byproduct from their own processing setup, they could then either turn it into bottled water themselves or sell the water to a company that would. Either way, something that was once commonly wasted presents itself as a lucrative opportunity.

Other companies have approached this method of sustainability by repurposing waste products. Additionally, more manufacturers and retailers have also embraced the "ugly produce" movement. Manufacturers can now capitalize on this movement by buying ugly produce often at a lower price, which improves margins, and it appeals to eco-conscious consumers.

Government has set a target toincrease food processing sector 2.5 times in 10 years Our Bureau, News Delhi

he government has set a target to increase food processing by 2.5 times in the next 10 years after being faced with mounting losses of agricultural products after harvest. Radha Mohan Singh, Union minister of agriculture and farmers’ welfare, stated that that at present food processing has achieved only 10 per cent of India’s total agricultural output, however the government aims to raise it to 25 per cent by 2025.

The minister added that the government is promoting the processed food industry to make value-addition in agricultural products. Not only this, the government is also chalking out its programme through different schemes to increase the production of fruits and vegetables and its processing with assistance from the ministry of food processing industries. But, the agriculture sector is facing a huge problem with mounting post-harvest management losses due to inadequate availability of scientific storage and lack of required care of the stored crop in warehouses. A recent survey showed India’s annual loss worth Rs 1 lakh crore due to nonavailability of scientific warehouses.

Meanwhile, the entry of private players in warehouses and the collateral management sector through increased government focus has revived the storage management industry in the past few years. The government has sponsored a region-based strategy to focus on reduction in post-harvest losses, which is done according to the climatic diversity of every state and region by implementing the unified Horticulture Development Mission. Under this mission, the government aims to promote technical setup, extension of area under horticulture crops, postharvest management, processing and marketing etc. India ranks second globally in horticultural crops, after China. The government is committed to doubling farmers’ income in the next five years, as was announced in Budget 2016-17. To this to happen the National Agriculture Market would help nationwide electronic trading of agricultural commodities, the minister said. In this programme, 585 agriculture mandis of India would be connected to each other. The farmers would get maximum price for their crops and the interference of mediators would be reduced to a great extent. Direct foreign investment was also being encouraged in this field.

anticipating the needs of future consumers. The percentage of people over 60, who would be the target market for these products, is expected to increase from 12% of the global population today to 22% by 2050, according to the WHO.

Medical foods, including prescription-based powders and drinks, provide nutritional value needed to treat chronic diseases and will become increasingly important as the global population continues to age. Manufacturers with effective medical foods on the market could offset losses in other segments. Nestle set a $500 million budget through 2021 to undertake research into medical foods, which includes a lab in Lausanne, Switzerland that houses $1 million of machinery. These machines analyze human DNA to create customized treatment regimens for various diseases. By researching medical foods now, Nestle is

urger King entered India in November 2014, as against its American rival McDonald's foray in 1996. Though a late entrant to India's fast- food market, it is trying to position itself as a leading quick service restaurant brand and is likely to add 35-40 outlets this year across the country. Burger King India CEO Rajeev Varmansaid, "Burger King is a mass brand and the idea is to

This strategy is critical for Nestle as it searches for new food and beverage territory that can carry the company into the future. Nestle has reported sales growth that fell below its 5% to 6% target for the past three consecutive years. In 2015, that growth rate was 4.2%, which was the company's lowest in six years. Functional foods and nutritional supplements have been a bright spot for Nestle sales-wise, as Nestlé’s health business grew faster than the company's operations overall in 2015. After reaching sales of about 2 billion Swiss francs ($2.1 billion) last year, the company's goal is to boost those sales to 10 billion francs in the next few years. Positioning these foods as legitimate medical alternatives means making carefully crafted health claims that must be backed by science. Manufacturers must also separate these foods from traditional medication to sway consumers to buy the foods. The line here is blurring as more consumers believe in the connection between their diet and their health, which could skew in manufacturers' favor.

Last year, burger king entered about 13 cities, with major cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Punjab and Pune and is continuing to build at a similar pace like last year. Burger King opened 10 restaurants in 2014, and added another 38 in 2015. As a part of its focus menu innovation, Burger King has brought in India recent global launch 'Angry Whopper' made of red buns and spices. It is committed to give guests in India a whole new experience in burgers/QSR.

China drops plan to bring law on halal food (NPC) to draft a national regulation on halal food in 2002. The committee suggested speeding up passage of the legislation in 2012 and 2015, saying it was "reasonable and necessary" as it relates to "national unity and social stability".

The government was considering setting up a committee which would recommend measures to enhance efficiency in warehousing space to reduce post-harvest crop losses. This apart, attempts were being made to introduce new technology for handling harvested crops and therefore reduce pilferage in the entire system of grain management, the minister said.

hina has been accused in meddling in religious affair and now has dropped the plan to bring a national law regulating halal food following mixed reactions from public. The drafting of a law on halal food was not listed in China's legislative work plan for this year after receiving mixed reactions from the public, including scholars who believe the law would open the door to allowing the secular government to have authority over religious issues. The Legal Affairs Office of the State Council (Cabinet) announced in March that China had been studying whether to draft the law, years after the central cabinet first tasked the Ethnic Affairs Committee of the National People's Congress

It was not clear whether drafting the law had been rescheduled or withdrawn from consideration by the ruling Communist party. In May last year, several Muslims destroyed a bakery in Qinghai Province's Xining after discovering non-halal items such as pork sausages and ham in its delivery van, and hundreds of Muslims in Shaanxi Province's Xi'an took to the streets to demand a ban on the sale of alcoholic beverages at local halal restaurants. According to an official from the religious affairs department of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region who was quoted in a report by Legal Daily, at least 20 million Chinese from several ethnic minority groups eat halal food, so it is necessary to have national legislation on halal products.

Our Bureau, New Delhi rench dairy giant Lactalis is planning to go for more buyouts in the domestic dairy sector in India to consolidate its presence even after a large acquisition a couple of south India's second-largest dairy company Tirumala Milk Rs 1,750 crore in January for 2014. The world's largest dairy group is all ready to acquire the dairy business of Indore-based Anik Industries for Rs 470 crore. Lactalis India CEO Rahul Kumar confirmed that they had huge plans to proliferate in the Indian dairy space through acquisitions and mergers. “We want to grow in India both organically as well as inorganically as Lactalis has a long-term vision for the Indian dairy market," he added and further said that the company would be looking for acquisitions of large-sized dairy companies in northern India once they complete the process of takeover of Anik's dairy business and stabilize operations. Lactalis has strong presence in south India with presence across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and parts of Kerala. With Anik's acquisition, the company has entered the north Indian market and would be looking at acquisition of successful dairy companies. The entry of global dairy players into India could lead to more investments in milk procurement and cold-chain because the domestic players have certain limitations and inadequate capital availability to scale up operations. While India had been on the radar of global players like New Zealand-based cooperative group Fonterra and Dutch dairy cooperative FrieslandCampina for years, they may now revive plans going by the positive experience of global players like Lactalis. The competition in India, the world's largest milk market, is expected to hot up further with some of the domestic FMCG players like Mahindra and ITC announcing foray into the liquid milk segment, which others may follow.

Busier Weekends Offer Unique Welch’s Global Ingredients Group boosts beverage offeringwith new Opportunity for Premium Products Niagara grape juice in Convenience Breakfast Market

It’s ‘Concord &Niagara: Dawn of Juice-tice’ at Ingredient Marketplace 2016, as ‘superhero’ grape juices take center stage

As the fast-paced nature of twenty-first century life continues to change breakfast from an enjoyable pastime to a chore, consumers are increasingly seeking out convenience foods in the morning. While an established trend during the week, it is increasingly creeping into weekend habits.

ccording to a Canadean survey of packaging executives worldwide, 77% expect high or moderate demand for on-the-go grocery products during weekday mornings, while 63% forecast high or moderate demand during weekend mornings. While the high demand during weekday mornings is to be expected, this study shows that the industry is preparing to take advantage of a surprising opportunity: convenience breakfasts for those who are time-poor at weekends. As a result, Canadean expects more innovative pack formats to be developed for breakfast drinks and smoothies, including dual packs separating liquid and solid contents, and heat-retaining packs to keep indulgent breakfasts warm while on the go.

elch’s Global Ingredients Group has strengthened its product portfolio with100% Niagara grape juice – a unique goldenAmerican superfruit juice that delivers a sophisticated flavor profile and naturally nutritious polyphenols.

Ingredients Group, said: “Forget Batman v Superman – the true superheroes this spring are Concord and Niagara.These spectacular juices are like nothing else on the market. Beverage and juice companies looking for a truly innovative juice proposition need look no further.”

Crisp, sweet, light and refreshing, Niagara grape juice joins the iconic deep-purple Concord grape juice in the Welch’sGlobal Ingredients Groupjuicerange, giving beverage, confectionary, dairy and alcohol brands, as well as contract manufacturers, access to a choice of two contrasting but equally delicious fruit juice concepts.

Just like the Concord grape, the Niagara grape is grown by the nearly 1,000 family-farmers who own Welch’sGlobal Ingredients Group. Niagara grapes are difficult to source because they have a very short harvest season and grow only in specific regions of North America. They are also extremely delicate and without the right care they do not travel well. Welch’s juice-making expertise ensures they are picked and squeezed using techniques that preserve their special characteristics in the end product.

Niagara grape juice contains no added sugar, colors or flavors. It is available globally to companies,andoffers bolder and more floral flavor notes than other white grape juices. Nevertheless, the Niagara grape juice taste remains light enough that it is perfect for blending with other juices in a way that complements them, rather than overshadowing them. In common with its Concord grape cousin, the Niagara grape is unlike ordinary table grape varieties. It has a thick skin and crunchy seeds that providenaturally occurring plant nutrients,

which act as antioxidants and can also contribute to health.To preserve this inherent nutrition in the Niagara grape juice, Welch’s squeezes the whole grape, including the skin and seeds, to release these plant nutrients, or polyphenols, straight from the grape and into the juice. The result is a 100% juice like no other white grape juice on the market. 100% Niagara grape juice packs in more nutrition than many other beverage options. Just one delicious 8oz glass counts as two servings or one cup of fruit, making it a perfect fruit juice choice for the whole family. What’s more, its beautiful goldenhue means it looks just as exquisite as it tastes. Niagara grape juice will make its debut at the forthcoming Ingredients Marketplace 2016 Expo in Orlando (booth K27). Wayne Lutomski, Vice President of International &Welch’s Global

Niagara joins Concord in the Welch’s FruitWorx®inclusions range Welch’s Global Ingredients Grouphas also added the Niagara grape to its FruitWorx® range of real fruit inclusions for bakery, nutrition bar, confectionary, snack and breakfast cereal applications. The new launch follows the successful introduction of FruitWorx® Concord grape inclusions a year ago. FruitWorx®inclusions contain the goodness thatConcord and Niagara grapesare renowned for. They are created using URC®(Ultra Rapid Concentration), a unique process thatconcentrates the taste, texture and natural goodness of fruit juices and purées into pieces, flakes and bites.FruitWorx®inclusions can be made using a single type of fruit or in combination with other fruits, or blended with other ingredients – including ancient grainssuch as chia. The pieces can also be enrobed in chocolate to create a delicious and wholesome treat. Welch’s Global Ingredients Group will showcase Concord and Niagara Fruit Worx®inclusions at Ingredient Marketplace 2016. Featuring at its booth will be concepts based on both grape varieties, alone and paired with other flavors. Ingredient Marketplace 2016 takes place 28-29 April 2016 at the Orlando World Center Marriott. Welch’s Global Ingredients Group will exhibition the Expo on booth K27. Stop by the stand to see and taste the company’s Concord and Niagara grape juices and FruitWorx®inclusions.

Brands need to focus on innovation in weekend convenience breakfasts A robust market for convenient weekend breakfast treats is now established, which some brands may be missing out on. Safwan Kotwal, Analyst at Canadean, says: “Focusing purely on weekday breakfast convenience means brands risk leaving money on the table. While consumers’ timetables are arguably more flexible during the weekend, busier social lives are creating a new market for convenient, but at the same time indulgent, weekend breakfast products. “Convenience purely targeted at busy office

workers or busy parents on the school run means brands could be excluding themselves from a potentially very profitable weekend market.” Room for brand expansion with premium weekend breakfast products While convenience is an important consideration for many consumers, indulging and enjoying breakfast on the weekend is something they look forward to. Although high demand on weekday mornings will remain the most important occasion for convenience products, Canadean believes brands must not discount weekends as an opportunity. “Brands built around convenience should consider brand extensions targeting weekend needs, while those built around enjoyment and indulgence should consider diversifying their product portfolios to offer new, more convenient products that still provide something special for weekend consumers,” Kotwal concludes.

Maximum Yield approach delivers bigger profits and enhanced green credentials for dairies

rla Foods Ingredients has launched a new drive to raise awareness of the ways in which whey protein ingredients can enable dairy companies to maximise output, increase profits and significantly cut waste. The campaign – called Maximum Yield – will highlight how simply adding whey protein to an existing production process with only small or no processing adjustments can significantly increase a dairy’s efficiency and boost its sustainability credentials at a stroke. The campaign is focusing on two fronts – the elimination of unwanted by-products, and the use of by-products as a raw material – underlining that there is an approach available to suit every dairy, whatever their circumstances. As well as supplying a wide range of tailored whey protein solutions, Arla Foods Ingredients offers the technical expertise to ensure factory managers can get the best out of them with little or no further investment in manufacturing equipment required. Brian Jørgensen, Business Unit Director at Arla Foods Ingredients, said: “Maximum Yield is about emphasising the benefits of whey protein ingredients in terms of either making sure 100% of the milk processed ends up in the finished product, or alternatively treating any by-products created during production as a valuable raw material. In both cases, dairies will be maximising their productivity and reducing the burden they place on the environment.”

Beverages & Food Processing Times

Waste is among the leading consumer concerns in today’s food and beverage industry, and Euromonitor International has ranked sustainable food production among its top 10 trends for 2016 . However, a sustainability positioning alone isn’t sufficient – and product quality remains the major driver to purchase. Arla Foods Ingredients has developed a portfolio of whey-based solutions that offer the benefits of Maximum Yield in conjunction with exceptional quality. These include ingredients from the Nutrilac® HiYield range, which will enable dairies make cheese, Greek-style yoghurt and fermented beverages using 100% of their milk, as well as Nutrilac® ingredients that enable processors to turn acid whey into added-value dairy products. In addition, Arla Foods Ingredients offers Nutrilac® Softcheese, which makes it possible to reduce fat in soft ripened cheese by 50% with no loss of creaminess and increase the final yield by up to 20%. Brian Jørgensen added: “Whether you’re a dairy looking to eliminate by-products like acid whey, or one that wants to turn it into a product you can sell, our high-yield whey protein solutions will help you achieve your aims, increase profitability and reduce waste. They offer a straight forward and cost-effective way to use 100% of your milk, to optimise production and make the most of the resources at your disposal – with nothing going to spare. ”

‘Green Channel’ & GST to attract investment from UK Companies in Food Supply Sector: Report ·Marketing System & Retail in Agri-Food sectors need to improve very fast: Siraj Hussain L-R : Mr Nikhil Khurana, Sr Consultant , D&B, Mr Dipankar De , Partner D&B (2 from Left), Mr Anthony Cooper, First Secretary (UKT&I) British High Commission, Mr JK Dadoo, Additional Secretary , Dept of Commerce, GoI , Mr Siraj Hussain, Former Agriculture Secretary, GoI, Ms Priyaa Gurnani , Director D&B Tangram and Dr Arpita Mukherjee Professor, ICRIER, Ms Tanu Goyal ( ICRIER) releasing the Report in New Delhi on Wednesday.

he Indian government needs to hasten various policy and regulatory reforms like right compensation for land acquisition, liberalisation of FDI in multi-brand retail, implementation of Good & Service Tax (GST) and ‘Green Channelling’ for agri produce to push India-UK collaborations and investments in Food Supply sector where huge opportunities and

potential remain to tapped fully, reveals a Report. A Report on ‘India-UK Collaborations and Investments in Food Supply Chain: Opportunities, Concerns and the Way Forward,’ was released here today. The Report was jointly released by Mr Siraj Hussain former Agriculture secretary, Government of India, Mr Anthony Cooper, First Secretary (UKT&I) British High Commission Mr JK Dadoo, Additional Secretary , Dept of Commerce, GoI . Ms Priyaa Gurnani, Director D&B Tangram Advisory Services and authors of the Report Mr Dipankar De Partner D&B, , Ms Tanu Goyal ( Consultant, ICRIER)) and Dr Arpita Mukherjee Professor, ICRIER were also present on the occasion. The Report, a result of extensive survey and study, has been prepared by D&B Tangram. It also draws on the earlier survey findings of D&B Tangram and Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) on food parks and allied infrastructure. “For last three-four years the Government is struggling hard to bring in much awaited reforms in agriculture and food processing sector. But the progress is slow because reforms in these two sectors touches majority of the population. We still do not have unified or national market. Marketing system has to improve very fast if we want farmers , who are in distress, to get better price,” Said Mr Siraj Hussain , while releasing the Report. “Food Processing Industries require last mile reform- that is in retail. Modern retail is very important. The government has allowed 100 % FDI in Food/Agri, however we are struggling to take it to investors. We need unified and national market for agri produce. With National Agriculture Market in place, I hope things will move faster for the sector. The Report is very timely and would help in attracting foreign as well as domestic investments,” he added. The Report suggests that the policy and regulatory reforms are likely to improve the business conditions. Implementation of “Green Channelling” for agri-produce to reduce wastage, increasing centre-state coordination to improve investor confidence, bringing in more transparency and awareness about government policies, simplifying customs procedures and food safety regulations are other key recommendations. It is also pointed out during the survey that along with transport infrastructure, there is a need to construct

“truck docking stations” in fuelling stations along the national highways and state highways. Highlighting the key findings of the Report Dipankar De, Partner, D&B Tangram says, “The logistics and supply chain performance is currently impacting India’s global competitiveness by increasing operating costs and capital expenditures, delays and unpredictability, reduction in overall business activities and restricting potential integration with global value chains.” Critical logistical infrastructural gaps, essential skill gaps across functions and inadequate research and development (R&D) in the food supply chain are a few of the specific immediate areas of attention, he added. “Improving efficiency and unlocking potential in the food supply chain has been a key priority for the current government who is actively encouraging foreign investments in these supply chain sectors such as storage and warehousing, cold-chain, packaging, skill development and R&D,” Mr Dadoo said. Presenting UK perspective about business opportunities in India, Mr Anthony Cooper said that the UK government has strong focus on food and drink sector and its exports. “We excel in cold-chain and have advanced supply chain management practices, we can help reduce wastages in the supply chain and increase the shelf life of the produce. “Agriculture produce, fruits, vegetables, Dairy sectors are expanding in India, creating more demand for modern facilities. Our companies find huge opportunities in India. UK Trade & Invest (UKTI) is keen to make companies aware about the opportunities in India and would provide them practical support in terms of market strategies and advice. The Report is extremely times in this context,” he added. The Study focuses on five areas of the food supply chain, namely storage and warehousing, coldchains, packaging technology, skill development and R&D. It provides an overview of each of these segments in India and the UK, examines the regulations, identifies the areas of collaborations and identifies the barriers faced by the UK companies in India. Food and Drink is a priority sector for the UK government in its trade and investment with India. The report charts out clear action points for UK Trade & Invest (UKTI) and UK India Business Council (UKIBC) to increase awareness and market understanding of the UK companies and work collaboratively with the centre and state governments in India to enhance India-UK trade and investment in food supply chain. At policy level, the Indian government has launched several national level schemes and initiatives to support the growth and development of food logistics business. One such initiative is the “Make in India” campaign, encouraging foreign investors to invest in manufacturing facilities in sectors such as packaging. There are other initiatives such as “Skill India” that is dedicated to upgrading the existing skill levels in the country and “Start-up

India” which aims to support start-ups and commercialization of R&D. However, there is still low commercialization of R&D in the country due to the lack of a proper ecosystem for protection and promotion of R&D in India. Given this, it is important to understand the prevalent regulations in the sector. FDI upto 100 per cent is allowed in R&D and foreign multinationals are encouraged to set up R&D centres in India. Further to this, as per the Foreign Direct Investment Policy of DIPP, foreign companies that foster technology transfer are encouraged to invest in India. India and the UK have bilateral R&D programmes and the companies and institutions of the two countries can participate in other multi-country programmes such as the Horizon 2020 of the EU. Among the bilateral programmes, Global Innovation and Technology Alliance (GITA) is the most prominent one. The Report observes that all these measures and initiatives are likely to attract foreign companies, including companies from the United Kingdom (UK), to invest in India’s food supply chain. The food supply chain in India is fragmented, and is characterized by the presence of a large number of unorganized operators in each segment. As a result, transportation costs in India are very high and so are the wastages involved in food transport due to mishandling, lack of storage facilities, etc. With well-established food supply chain and sophisticated logistics infrastructure leading UK companies have shown interest to invest in areas like FTWZs (free trade warehousing zones) in India. Cold –chain sector is a focus area. Cold-chain sector, witnessing annual growth of nearly 20 %, is yet another key focus area where there is plenty of scope for the Indian and UK companies to collaborate, especially in green technologies such as solar run cold storages. The Indian market is not homogenous and the UK companies should explore opportunities in Indian states that offer ease of doing business. For the food supply sector, taxation is a major concern. GST is expected to accelerate the growth of the storage and warehousing industry and creation of true hub-and-spoke model, which India currently lacks. “Rolling out of GST is further expected to drive the technology adoption since under hub-and-spoke model technology will be of paramount importance,” the Report points out. Dr. Arpita Mukherjee, Professor, ICRIER and one of the authors of the Report says skill development through joint efforts would be a critical component in pushing the sector through collaborations with UK companies and R&D also needs to be a focus area. Commenting on taxation, she says, “Multi-layered taxes and variation of taxes across states make it difficult to have a pan-India pricing and hub-and-

spoke model of operation.” Despite a series of reforms related to the FDI liberalisation, the presence of the UK businesses in India is limited. The study points out that the large foreign multi-brand retailers such as Wal-Mart Stores Incorporated and Tesco Plc are present in India only as wholesale cash and carry operators. None of the UK companies have entered the food retail business. This is mainly due to the restrictions on FDI in multi-brand retail. The low presence of global multinationals and domestic corporate players in food manufacturing and retailing have led to the low presence of the UK companies in food supply chain sector of India. Most companies are waiting for FDI liberalisation across the entire supply chain. A number of companies have expressed concerns about the inability of Tesco Plc to speed up investments in India. ‘Most of the UK businesses are in the wait-andwatch mode and they are closely watching the success of other UK businesses that have entered or are planning to enter the Indian market,” the Study reveals. Along with the tariff discrepancies, the Customs procedures in India are cumbersome. The interpretation of the policy by Customs varies across ports. According to the Report, there are licensing, labelling and packaging conditions along with other standards laid down by FSSAI that often change without prior indication. This adversely affects international businesses. The Study is an eye opener and examines FDI related issues with conviction. It says, “Unless FDI is allowed in multi-brand retail and the rigid conditions are removed, the food supply chain sector will not get the desired foreign investments. Global retailers play a key role in promoting agriculture exports and setting up of the food supply chain.” “The retail policy should not impose restrictions on store and non-store retail formats. Some of the UK food manufacturers have or are planning to set up manufacturing hubs in ASEAN countries such as Thailand and export the products to India through the ASEAN free trade agreement (FTA).” India will not get the desired investment in manufacturing unless the country allows global companies access to distribution and retail. It is important for the government to know that global retailers cannot change their business models to meet the conditions imposed on FDI in retail. As India competes with other countries to get FDI it should also have similar FDI policies. It is also suggested that if GST does not happen due to lack of majority in the Upper House of the Parliament, the central government can work with the states in which it has majority such as Gujarat, Rajasthan Haryana and Maharashtra to have green channels. This will significantly benefit movement of perishable produce and reduce wastages. Other recommendations include better centrestate coordination, infrastructural support, corruption free administrative machineries, Skill Development and policies should be directed towards investment in better technology, clean technology, and connecting farmers to the global markets, among others. There is also need to speed up the patent process, strengthen the IPR regulation and protection of patents and copyrights. While there are regulations in place, there has to be serious implementation of existing laws.

Well the implementation of 100 per cent FDI in the food industry was accentuated with the assurance that if a foreign company enters for business in India it is mandatory for it to purchase all the ingredients locally. On the other hand do I see a change in policy and thoughts of the government with allowing the foreign players exemption for some ingredients? But under the proposal to allow 100 per cent FDI in the food processing sector, the government is now expected to allow foreign companies to import certain key ingredients like flavours and preservatives and may also permit players to retail their products online. The government may permit companies which want to set up units in India to import those inputs as some key ingredients of a food product may not be available in India. However, the Food Processing Ministry is insisting on making it mandatory for the foreign players to invest a minimum of about 25 per cent of per cent of their total investments in rural areas to create infrastructure like cold chains to benefit farmers. The government had said FDI in food processing will help farmers, reduce wastage of fruits and vegetables, give impetus to the industry and create vast employment opportunities. But if it is relaxing its policy for certain ingredients won’t it harm the farmers, who has been the epicenter of the FDI process…… ‘’as the government said we need to empower our farmers and FDI will do that’’. But still I am an imminent advocate of FDI in the food sector as it will enhance the industry and make it pertinently prominent on the international food map. It because FDI that big multinational companies are now turning their manufacturing facility in India. Like, PepsiCo India had introduced premium brand Doritos in India recently and since the response for Doritos had been encouraging the company has advocated domestic production of Doritos early next year. While premium brands Doritos and Cheetos will continue to play a “unique” role in the Indian portfolio of PepsiCo, the company is now sharply focusing on Kurkure and Lay’s to drive growth in the snacks category. PepsiCo has recently launched 15 new traditional snack products or Namkeens such as Chiwda Mix for the West, Punjabi Chatka and South Tangy Twist keeping in mind the various regional palates. Well good for a multinational to become Desi. PepsiCo hopes to enhance on the pan-India brand equity of Kurkure to reinforce its existence in the traditional snacks segment. The traditional snacks category, which is highly fragmented with strong regional players, is pegged at Rs.7,000 crore. Patanjali, the consumer products maker run by yoga guru Baba Ramdev, isn’t much behind as it is cashing its Indianness in total and is plans to increase its annual revenue to Rs.10, 000 crore by March 2017, from Rs.5, 000 crore in the year to March 2016. . It has entered the Indian snacks market by launching packaged fried moong dal (green gram) and chana (chickpeas), and plans to launch more readyto-eat Indian snacks. Patanjali Ayurveda’s products have caught the imagination of Indian consumers, thanks partly to Baba Ramdev’s vast following. Aspiring consumer products giant, Patanjali makes and markets everything from shampoo and toothpaste to biscuits and noodles, juices and sweets, rice and wheat, honey and ghee. The government is now going to frame a national policy on food processing at the earliest and a committee has been formed to supervise its Implementation. The committee would like the Food Processing Ministry to accelerate the process of discussion with all concerned including stakeholders so that a national policy on food processing sector is drafted and implemented without further loss of time.

The food processing sector is an important segment of Indian economy in terms of its contribution to gross domestic product (GDP), employment and investment. A well-developed food processing sector not only helps in reduction of wastage, improves value addition, promotes crop diversification and ensures better return to farmers. The Indian poultry sector is fearing pressure on profit margins with successive droughts resulting in acute shortage of poultry feed, forcing the industry to import maize and soya after several years, coupled with rising temperatures leading to a surge in broilers' mortality. While Tea is to turn costlier by 15% as output falls, Amul is to invest Rs 2,500 crore to raise milk processing capacity, Parag Milk Foods, Schreiber Dynamix get approval to export cheese to Russia and Ethnic drinks take fizz out of global juice flavours.

As you have just entered India, could you give a brief profile of what your company is all about? We are basically a new company with three years in market place and we are here to develop and sell a new type of packaging which is a formable paper packaging called FreeFormPack, which is very unique for the market. Our packaging paper can be formed exclusively to create shapes that could be unique for a specific brands and products. Paper is sustainable and renewable material thus our products are good for the environment. The raw materials are coming from the Swedish forestwe use long fibres from the pine trees and this sourcing does not impact the environment because forest in Sweden is cultivated in a sustainable way. The material we use is certified by the forestcouncil, so for every tree we cut we plant two new trees so that we have a continuous ecological forest for future. Paper packaging though not new, has had a formidable market in India mainly due to the cost related to it as well as various other reasons, so how would you be marketing and promoting this in India so that a positive results can be achieved especially from the food industry? Paper is a good trend and globally speaking paper packaging is a happening trend. Also as far as I know most consumerslike paper compared to plastics. This is because paper has a natural approach and people have now become aware and know it is a sustainable option and then paper also has a special quality added to it which plastic do not have. In my wordspaper packaging executes typical warmth with great designs made out of them, which is not possible ina plastic packaging. Marketing of paper packaging in this time wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be as difficult as more and more people are becoming aware of the need to use environmentally friendly material. I think right now we are in a good moment where paper packaging can be an effective way to eradicate pollution from the environment, which is indeed the need of the hour. For example the big garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean where a lot of plastic garbage is ending up so people are now getting more and more aware of this problems and their effect. This is why the demand for paper packaging is increasing. Paper is costly then plastics, and an average Indian consumer does count his pennies before spending it, how are you going to make your Indian consumer go toward the buying and using paper packaging? I do not agree that plastics are cheaper than paper, though of course there are some very thin flow wrap plastic packaging that are quite cheap

FIBREFORM PACKAGING Fibreform packaging

FREE FROM PACKAGING comparatively to paper packaging, Generally speaking I would say nowadays the consumers know what they want - protection, good prints ability and safety rather than hazardous material that is not only harming them but the environment too. And believe me paper packaging is cheap if one sees how ecofriendly and reliable it is as compared to plastic packaging. Paper is a sustainable and recyclable packaging material, but there is hardly any policy in India that would encourage this type of packaging which is good for the environment? Recycling and sustainability questions are complex and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy to give an answer to it. Paper can be recycled and reused but in India every little community has very different sorting systems and collection systems, you also have different types of laws and regulation on how things should be handled, although I would like to add that the situation is somewhat the same in Europe as well, even we do not have a harmonized legal structure on how things should be recycled. The recycling of packaging material depends on the demand on how the recycled material can used in a second hand. Generally one can see a good demand for old fibres in the market, to make recycled paper or paper board. Paper packaging is usually used more in dry and granulated products, but do you have some solution for liquids like milk or edible oil, ice cream and other various types of FMCG products? We are primarily focusing on dry food packaging but we do have packaging that have certain barrier built in it and havealso been developing even better barriers in our package. And also by combining our packaging with functional closures we offer our consumers more conveniences and added value in the packaging. Thus with the kind of packaging we provide we can explore further on more premium products like loose tea, ice cream, different types of cereal or flour and candies. Years back when Tetrapak entered the Indian market, it had to do some rigorous work to promote its typical type of packaging, and today they have covered most of the market as now most food, juices, dairy and dairy products comes in Tetrapak, so do you also have similar plans to achieve your purpose in India? When Tetrapak entered the Indian market and other developing country, they revolutionized the infrastructure for bringing the milk out from the countryside into the dairy for process and then transporting them in a good way to consumer.

Previously there were glass bottles used for milk which was neither hygienic nor cost effective, but Tetrapak changed it, whose method and packaging system was clean, good and economical. So in a similar way when you look at our packaging, you have to see the total cost of ownership of package. For example take the plastic bottle which is pre made in a bottling factory and then transported to the packers of the goods but and we make the paper rim, print it and bring it to the customer who is making the packaging directly in their factory just before they fill it. So we eliminate a lot of transportation and handling cost with our solution. Similarly we also have to calculate that we have to make some additional gains by profiling in the market shelves with our special packaging, so we have saving in logistics and some benefits in the market, consequently the customer cannot compare us one to one with plastic packaging. Hence our way ofmarketing in some ways is similar to what Tetrapak has done. Does the paper packaging have the ability to

sell a product because of its looks, prints and design especially in super markets without the help of salesman or women? Absolutely, and our main strength is the differentiation factor because paper packaging can be uniquely formed and strongly embossed in way that it shines out in the shelves and catches the interest of the consumer. In fact paper packaging has a different luster then the plastic packaging and the feeling of it more matt and gives a natural touch which is totally absent in other packaging materials. Paper packaging definitely catches the attention of the consumer in the shelves and also when the consumer uses the packet at home it is an easy to use, easy to dispose of and can also be recycled. This creates a positive experience for the consumer that makes him more likable to buy the paper packaged product again when he goes to the super/hypermarket. Subsequently paper packaging gives a product the line to be noticed as well as an aura of positive experience and thereby increasing its purchase value. What are your plans for the Indian Market for creating presence of your company? In Europe we are handling our business totally by ourselves, we have validate network of suppliers both of the machines and raw materials, converters for printing, for laminating, for plastic closures and various other things which are necessary for the paper packaging. So we are the one stop shop for the customers. But in China we are into partnership with a company called shanghai Luxin, where they will do the sales job for both the laminates and the machines with their own sale force and after sale service and customer service. Hence we have two different models that we can work with, and the model that I see suitable for India is the one that we are following in China. We plan to partner up with networks of converters and then will be producing laminates and sell it to the local customers. It would be of benefit because it will reduce import duty as we would be doing part of the conversion in India. At the moment we are in talks with potential partners and customers who would help us to establish in India and control the sale part while we do the manufacturing part.

DAIRY NEWS

Dairy sector to see investments worth Rs 9,000-10,000 crorein 5 years Our Bureau, New Delhi

he cooperate giant recently have started to take great interest in the dairy industry and thus the Rs 4 lakh-crore Indian dairy industry in the next five year will witness investments worth Rs 9,000-10,000. And most of these investments would be for creating infrastructure at farm for collection and storage of milk. According to Ashok Sharma, president and chief executive, agri and allied services, Mahindra and Mahindra, the share of the organised industry is approximately 30 per cent and is growing at a robust rate of 15 per cent per annum. The value added segment is the major driver of this growth with around 18-20 per cent growth. Curd, lassi and butter milk are growing at around 18 per cent while the smaller categories like flavoured milk, yoghurt and cheese are growing upwards of 20 per cent per annum. Mahindra has recently forayed into dairying with its Saboro brand. A Crisil ratings report said the share of valueadded products in fiscal 2015 is estimated at 43 per cent, up from 35 per cent in fiscal 2010. Rising purchasing power and increasing health consciousness have spurred lifestyle changes in recent years because of which consumers have gravitated towards value-added products. Increasing organised activity in Indian dairy and direct processor-farmer engagement will entail significant investments in creating capacities for milk procurement, milk handling and product manufacturing. Investments in the dairy business will broadly range between Rs 9,000 crore and Rs 10,000 crore in the next five years. The major share

of the investment will be for creating infrastructure at farm for collection and storage of milk. Analysts thus feel that these companies will also look to expand beyond their regional base. Innovation and technology focus will be important for them to cater to emerging consumer trends, either by developing new products or creating a unique positioning in existing product categories. Mahindra, for example, has started with 2,000 farmers and claims that it ensures that the milk collected reaches the processing plant in the shortest possible time. The company has thus taken care to differentiate its products from what is already available in the market. The milk is fortified with Vitamin A and D. Mahindraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poly-pack milk will be followed by value-added products like ghee, curd, and lassi and butter milk. FMCG major ITC, on the other hand, has forayed into dairy with Aashirvaad Svasti pure cow ghee. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ghee was launched in select southern markets and we will look at expanding our footprint across the country. ITC has set up a dairy plant in Munger. According to the National Dairy Development Board and Crisil research estimates, India produces around 3.80 million litres per day (LPD) of milk, accounting for a fifth of global output. About 40 per cent of this is retained by producers (farmers) for household consumption. Another 41 per cent share is with the unorganised segment. The remaining 19 per cent is procured, processed and sold through organised dairies. Given the rising demand for branded products

and investments being made by organised sector players, Crisil believes the share of organised segment will increase to about 25 per cent by fiscal 2018. In volume terms, the dairy industry grew four per cent annually in the five years ended fiscal 2015, while the organised sector grew twice as fast. The volume of milk processed from the organised sector is expected to grow 13 per cent annually by FY2018, way ahead of a five per cent annual growth for the industry at large. Cooperatives, however, have a strong presence and hold over the Indian dairy market, and can pose a challenge for the growing corporate dairies when it comes to milk procurement. While the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets the Amul brand of dairy products, took its turnover of Rs 8,000-23,000 crore (provisional figure of FY16) just about six years, its procurement too grew by 91 per cent in the last six years. GCMMF would invest Rs 5,000 crore to set up 10 processing plants that would take its processing capacity to 3.2 million LPD from 2.3 million LPD.

The report said that low commodity prices will keep India’s imports in check and that the decline in imports has been a bigger contributor to the lower trade deficit than higher exports.

Our Bureau, New Delhi

ccording to Moody's Investors Service an increasing foreign direct investment provides stable financing of India's current account deficit and is a credit positive, and the efforts to liberalize foreign investment limits in several sectors and the ‘Make in India’ campaign are Showing great positive responses. Net FDI inflows hit an all-time high in early 2016, the ratings agency said, more than financing the current account deficit for the first time since 2004. Net FDI inflows into India hit an all-time high of $3 billion in January, on a 12-month moving average basis, and cover current account deficit,

Domestic demand to gradually pick up in the fiscal year ending March 2017 (FY2017) is expected, which could push up import volumes to some degree. However, with commodity prices – particularly oil – likely remain depressed, we do not expect a marked renewed widening of India’s trade deficit,” the report said. The announcement in the budget for 2016-17 of an excise tax on gold is likely to dampen overall gold imports, according to Moody’s report. The agency said weakening remittances and services exports, two of the biggest source of forex inflow, could weigh on the current account deficit. Worker remittances dropped 30% in OctoberDecember 2015 from a year ago, albeit from unusually high levels, the report said. “Against a backdrop of subdued global economic activity — in particular in the Gulf, the origin of more than half of remittances to India — remittance inflows could weaken further in the coming months.

Rising sugar prices may dent your shopping basket Our Bureau, New Delhi

ower sugar output in last five years has led to rising sugar prices; this in turn has affected theFMCG, who are looking for the additional sweetener of a discount on sugary foods including chocolates, soft drinks, ice-cream and biscuits.FMCG companies have been passing on the benefit of lower commodity prices, which dipped in the range of 10% to 25%, through discounts. But sugar prices have crossed Rs 40 a kg last week, which was about Rs 30 kg last ear. With Maharashtra, a key sugarcane growing state, hit hard by drought, all-India sugarcane output is predicted to fall 10% in 2016, according to a report from credit rating firm ICRA. Despite hedging risks by bulk procurement, companies said the lag effect of sustained increase of sugar prices is likely to kick in by later this quarter. A beverage industry official said if sugar prices continued to remain high, it could result in curbing discounts instead of hiking drink prices.

FMCG companies as it was already done after the excise hike in March. Excise duty on sugary aerated drinks was hiked to 21% from the existing 18% in the Budget this year. The retail trade is gearing up for managing discounts on beverages as they account for a good proportion of the shopper's bag. It is always better to have more effective promotions and markdowns than to raise prices, as sugar-based products could account for 15% of products in a shopping basket. Better management of that 15% can still lead to overall savings, as a result protecting consumption.

estlé's Maggi has passed all safety tests directed by the Supreme Court (SC) and the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). All tests conducted on 29 samples of the instant noodles brand failed to find any excess lead or artificial monosodium glutamate (MSG) in it and every single sample was found compliant. CFTRI (the central government's laboratory) has explained that glutamic acid can be due to presence of ingredients like tomatoes, cheese, hydrolyzed plant protein, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, etc. Nestle said that there are no analytical methods to distinguish between naturally present glutamic acid and additive MSG. In January, Supreme Court ordered laboratory

While NCDRC-directed tests were to determine presence and levels of lead and MSG in Maggi, those ordered by the SC were to determine the level of many other parameters like metal contaminants, crop contaminants and other hazardous substances, including lead and MSG.. The latest test reports are in line with the food major’s claims that it does not add MSG in Maggi, Nestlé said, and the latest development is less likely to have an impact on the brand or Nestlé’s stock. Investors are looking forward to expansion of product portfolio, like in the chocolate category. Innovative products and more categories like pet food, packaged water and breakfast cereals by Nestlé in India will excite them. Harsimrat Kaur Badal, the minister of food processing industries, had publicly expressed concern that the whole episode might hurt the government’s business-friendly image.

Bridging the difference; FSSAI and Food Industry Our Bureau, New Delhi

he Maggi controversy had formed a darkened dividing line between FSSAI and the food industry last year, the difference was so much that the food regulator was labeled as implicating Inspector Raj in the food industry.

But over the years things have changed and many food industrialists believe that FSSAI has worked hard to become industry friendly, taken positive measures for merging the division. The measures include operationalizing of standards on food additives for use in various categories. This has marked the entry of an ingredient-based regulatory regime, as opposed to a product-based approval system. The latter was a huge bone of contention between regulator and industry, resulting in massive backlog. The system was eventually scrapped in August 2015 by the Supreme Court, which found the process arbitrary. The ingredient-based regime saw some 9,000 food additives becoming a part of the food safety regulations (issued in 2011). Earlier, these regulations, which operationalized the Food Safety & Standards Act of 2006, had only 377

food items on its list. This put companies in a spot if ingredients beyond this list were part of their food products. Resulting in ill-will and litigation. Many food experts describe the shift to an ingredient-based regulatory regime as a progressive step as it would foster investment and innovation in packaged foods. This approach would bring India up to speed with global food standards such as CODEX, the norm abroad. The other key measure introduced by the food safety regulator was the clarification on proprietary foods, another grey area for food companies. FSSAI in January clarified its position on this, saying it was an article of food that had not been standardised under the regulations - excluding novel foods, food for special dietary use, functional foods, nutraceuticals, health supplements and such other articles of food the Central government had not notified. The January 2016 notification also clarified that the full responsibility for the safety of proprietary foods would be with the manufacturer, implying a breach on their part could invoke penalties. A more recent measure was the March 31 notification by FSSAI on monosodium glutamate (MSG). This states that in the absence of a precise method to determine if it was naturally found or added during the manufacturing process of a food product, prosecution would be launched when a manufacturer added the 'No MSG' or 'No added MSG' label when the food product actually had MSG. Food safety experts have said this will go a long way to regulate usage of MSG, commonly found in food products.

Maintain your animals in less water

ndia being an agricultural country, first priority is given to agriculture and dairy is a secondary business. But now due to unpredictable rains, farmers have understood the importance Sanjeevraje Nimbalkar of dairy business and (Chairman) many of them do it as their main business. Consistently irregular and decreasing rains are affecting the dairy industry. Govind Dairy is established for farmers’ welfare and its management is constantly striving to solve various problems faced by the farmers. Under the guidance of Shrimant Sanjeevraje NakNimbalkar, Chairman, Govind Dairy and Shri. Rajivji Mitra, Managing Director, the company has consistently worked to increase per animal milk production and to lower the cost of milk production. Today the dairy is saving lakhs of liters of water on daily basis through Free Movement Stables and Hydroponic grass production. This indirect water saving is actually huge. Today, the company is renowned in India and nation-wide for implementing latest technology in low cost for farmers. Today, everyone is facing the same

problem i.e. how to maintain animals in minimum water. Stable management and grass production require the highest quantity of water. On average, one cow requires 80 to 90 liters of water to drink and 100 to 110 liters of water is required to wash the stable and wash the animals. Today if we have a stable of 20 cows, daily 1600 to 1800 liter water is required for them to drink and daily 2000 to 2200 liter water to wash the stable and the cows. Considering both these things, if

we want to run a stable of 20 productive cows, 3600 to 4000 liters of water is required daily. We know that the water crisis is getting graver so it is necessary to do daily business in minimum water. If we want Rajiv Mitra to save the water we should (Managing Director) adapt and use the low cost Free Movement Stable concept. Free Movement Stable Management- Under this method, we have to provide drinking water to the animals. We need not wash stable and cows daily. Cows can be washed once in two or three months. Since the animals are free in the Free Movement Stable, they do not sit in cow dung in once place. They move around and sit in a clean place so they need not be washed daily. Also since they are out most of the time, they do not drop dung or urinate in one place in the stable. Naturally the stable remains dry and clean. Since there is no need to wash the stable daily, water is saved. In this way more than 50% water is saved with Free Movement Stable method. S. No. Details 1. For drinking 2. Stable Cleaning 3. Animal Cleaning 4. Total Water in liters Closed Stable Free Movement Stable Total Water Saving Water Saving Manure in the Free Movement Stable In Free Movement Stable, manure is generated from crow-dung, urine, dry leaves and other useful organisms. These useful organisms grow fast if they get favorable environment. Their special feature is that they are on the lookout for favorable environment. These organisms require damp climate so they absorb dew or moisture that settles on the ground in cold climate. This facilitates crop growth. It has been frequently observed that, wherever the organism rich manure generated in Free Movement Stable is used for agriculture, the water need of the soil is reduced by 25%. Such lands bear the water tension. We can definitely say that we can save water by using manure from Free Movement Stable. Today

rains are decreasing and not balanced as before. On the other hand, land is getting harder, not soft as before. Since these lands do not hold water, its requirement is increasing. This has to be given priority and for this Free Movement Stable is very essential. The organism rich cow dung manure generated here will benefit in reducing the need of water. Manure from Free Movement Stable increases ground water storage Cow dung manure from Free Movement Stable has been made from useful organisms. It contains various organisms that soften the soil, process the leaves and grass, absorb and store the moisture from the air. Given favorable conditionsthey grow fast. Generally in 25 to 30 degree centigrade temperature, these organisms grow twice every 20 minutes. The more the growth of these organisms in our land, the more is the capacity of our land to hold water. During their growth, the generated gas is freed into the soil and it softens. Such soft soil absorbs available water in maximum quality and adds it to the soil. It increases the ground water level. Today according to various region wise surveys, the ground water level is decreasing fast. This is an alarm bell. We have to give it a serious thought and must strive to keep the water level intact. Many farmers are using such organism rich manure for years and their experience speaks of gradual increase in the ground water level in their land. Today it is our national duty to increase the ground water level. By implementing Fee Movement Stable management, we are contributing to a national work. We should keep it in mind.

unpredictable rain conditions, the dairy professionals are facing a challenge to run the dairy business and profit from it. Free Movement Stable Management can save 50% water. However, it can be difficult to make available 80 liters of water for green grass production. Hydroponic grass production can partly solve this problem. Hydroponic grass production has three main functions- to save water, to enable grass growth and to control temperature and moisture in the hydroponic grass machine. S. No. Details Water Usage in Liters Grass Production in the land Hydroponic grass production To produce 1 kg green grass

15 kg green grass for 1 cow 150 kg grass daily for the stable of 10 cows Monthly Total daily water saving In this process, very less water is used. Plus many units have a facility to reuse the once used water. Generally, in a conventional method, 80 liters of water is required to produce 1 kg grass. In Hydroponic grass production, approximately 1.4 liter water is used when reused and approximately 2 liters when used only once. This unused water can be used for the garden. If we want to reuse water, it is led from the slope of the lower surface of the hydroponic grass machine and then collected in a tank through a gutter. Nets are fitted to prevent the wastage that comes from the hydroponic grass. The collected water is then lifted with the help of an electrical pump and again used in hydroponic grass production. Before lifting the water by the pump, the water is filtered through a small filter. This is because many times there is a possibility of sprinklers and foggers choking due to unclean water. Also, the water flow from the hydroponic machine may carry harmful organisms or bacteria so this water needs to be disinfected after specific period to avoid diseases. In this way, we can provide good quality grass to the animals even in the regions with water scarcity and lead our dairy business to profitability.

To limit consumption of junk food Celebrities should be allowed to advertise it: CSE people suffering from diabetes. "The food industry should not be allowed to aggressively target our children. No celebrity should be allowed to advertise soft drinks, chocolates, noodles etc. Broadcast of food advertisements should be prohibited on programmes that are watched by children.

While Edelweiss declined to comment, emails sent to JM Finance and Prataap Snacks went unanswered. According to sources, the company would use the proceeds for expanding its manufacturing facilities, foraying into newer markets and investing in new products. Our Bureau, New Delhi

equoia Capital is likely to dilute its stake in Indore-based Prataap Snacks, with the latter readying for an initial public offering worth Rs. 500-550 crore. Sequoia had picked up a majority stake in the food company in 2011 for $30 million. Prataap Snacks has hired JM Finance and Edelweiss as lead managers for its IPO. The company intends to discover the price through a book-building process, bankers close to the development told. “The process is on and it would be least six months before the Draft Red Herring Prospectus is filed. The IPO is further away,” one of the bankers said. Prataap Snacks sells potato chips and other Indian savouries under the ‘Yellow Diamond’ brand. Recently, the Indore-based firm also forayed into

The company, formed in 2003 by Amit Kumat, ApurvaKumat and Arvind Mehta at Palda, competes with home-grown brands such as Mumbai-based Chedda, Bikaji Foods, Parle and Balaji Wafers in the Rs. 50,000-crore Indian snacking industry.

"No such company should be allowed to sponsor events at schools. No junk food should available in or around schools. Mandatory government controls are required as successfully done in other parts of the world," said Bhushan.

Our Bureau, Mumbai Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) on the eve of World Health Day declared that celebrities should not be allowed to advertise junk food given the rising number of diabetic and obese people in the country. "India needs to take measures to limit consumption of junk food. It should be integral to government's plan to contain diet-related NCDs. A set of comprehensive measures are required. Chandra Bhushan, deputy director general at CSE said that the govt needs to urgently regulate marketing of foods, drastically improve-upon existing labelling norms, limit availability of junk foods in schools and run public awareness campaigns. The body said that this year's World Health Day with the theme 'beat diabetes' is very significant for a country like India as it has over 60 million

CSE said that the most prevalent form of diabetes is Type 2, which is a diet-related non-communicable disease (NCD) along with hypertension, heart disease and certain cancers. Excess consumption of unhealthy junk foods specifically among children is strongly linked with growing prevalence of obesity and NCDs, it said. "These foods are ultra-processed and are high in salt, sugar, fats. They lack fibre, vitamins and minerals and contain chemical additives. Such foods include carbonated soft drinks, chocolates and other confectionary, ice-creams, instant noodles, pizza and burger from fast food outlets," it said. Obesity is near epidemic now and is a severe problem with children and diabetes is prevalent like never before and Indians are being affected by it at a much younger age than people in other parts of the world.

he candy sale is on high with the hardboiled candies (HBC) such as Mango Bite, Pulse Candy and Alpenliebe that are pushing the Rs 6,000-crore sweet candy market to grow at 1.5 times the FMCG industry growth in the country.

DharampalSatyapal (DS) Group's Pulse Candy reached Rs 100 crore within just eight months of its launch, and equaled the record of Coca-Cola's diet drink Coke Zero. According to said Vijay Udasi, senior VP at Nielsen India, Eclairs and soft toffees segment grew in single digits in 2015 in comparison to hardboiled candy segment. Lollipops are the other segment witnessing healthy growth. HBC segment is now standing at around Rs 2,100

Electronics Devices Worldwide Pvt. Ltd.

Innovation in the candy market is bringing consumer to this market. Pulse Candy , a kaccha aam (raw mango) hard boiled candy with a tangy salt filled centre, was one such innovation. Although the confectionary category in India is highly cluttered and price-sensitive with nearly 40% of the category volumes still coming from 50-paise price point, an encouraging trend are consumers lapping up innovations at higher price points. While Perfetti leads in the caramel category, a flavour which constitutes 20% of the HBC segment, Parle is the dominant player with its Mango Bite brand. Interestingly, kaccha aam (26%) and mango flavour (24%) put together command 50% market share in the HBC category, followed by caramel and orange (16%). Inbisco is the other big player with its Kopico (coffee flavour) brand. The HBC segment is growing fast due to marketing push and innovations, while chocolate éclair and soft toffee category is struggling because margins are low due to the premium nature of the product. By selling a candy for Rs 1, an HBC maker will make more money than a chocolate éclair company.

In with the old: healthy ageing tops the agenda for nutraceutical companies

SATietyINnovation, an EU-funded study of nutrients and ingredients that promote satiety and could therefore help to curb obesity. The session will include a practical focus on how the findings of the research can be implemented in the nutraceutical industry.

ealthy ageing is the single most important health category in the global nutraceutical market, according to a survey conducted for the Vitafoods Europe Conference 2016. Researchers asked a sample of visitors who attended last year’s VitafoodsEurope which health categories were of most interest to them. Healthy ageing was selected by more than a quarter of respondents (26%), digestive health by 23%, cardiovascular health by 22% and weight management by 21%. Reflecting their importance, there will be a major focus on all four of these topics in dedicated sessions at this year’s Vita foods Europe Conference (1011 May 2016). Particularly exciting is the news that the conference will offer delegates a chance to hear the latest results from a series of major EU-funded nutrition projects exploring three of these areas: weight management, heart health and healthy ageing. Chris Lee, Vitafoods Portfolio Director, said: “TheVitafoods Europe Conference programmefor 2016 mirrors the top priorities among our visitors. This is no accident – in fact we’ve worked hard to make sure we are delivering the high quality presentations that people really want to see. We assembled a panel of experts from both industry and academia to help us identify the best possible speakers for the event. The result of this approach is an excellent line-up that is our strongest ever, with a clear focus on applied science, business growth strategies, quality assurance and regulation that is sure to help delegates meet their business

challenges.” During a dedicated weight management session on the morning of 10 May 2016 – chaired by DrJörg Hager, Head of Nutrition & Metabolic Health Unit at the Nestlé Institute of Health Sciences – conference delegates will hear first from Professor Julian Mercer from the University of Aberdeen’s Rowett Institute of Nutrition & Health. He will outline findings from the EU-funded Full4Health study, which has been looking into the psychology of eating habits and how this influences consumer demand. Taking the stage immediately afterwards will be Dr Angela Bonnema, Senior Nutrition Scientist at USA-based Cargill, with SorayaShirazi-Beechey, who is Professor of Molecular Physiology & Biochemistry at the University of Liverpool. They will present results from Project Satin –

Later that day, in a session covering heart health, the Vitafoods Europe Conference will see Dr Paul Kroon, Research Leader at the UK’s Institute of Food Research, reveal findings from BACCHUS, another EU-funded project – this time investigating how the bioactives found in food could offer cardiovascular health benefits. The fourth EU-funded project to feature at the conference will be NU-AGE, a major healthy ageing research initiative involving a consortium of 30 companies and organisations from 17 EU countries. A presentation on the findings will be delivered by project co-ordinatorProfessor Claudio Franceschi from the University of Bologna in Italy.This will take place in a healthy ageing session chaired by the University of Geneva’s Dr Astrid Stuckelberger, President of the Geneva International Network on Ageing at the World Health Organisation. Day one of the conference will also feature sessions focusing on cognitive health and infant health. On day two, attention will switch to marketing

strategies, product safety and regulatory issues. In the morning, delegates will enjoy a unique insight into the future of ‘intelligent food’ from Katrina Lytton, UK Nutrition Lead at KPMG. She will also address the six key areas that drive innovation and create a competitive advantage. Kicking off the afternoon session will be a panel discussion debating the merits of incorporating pharmaceutical standards in the functional nutrition industry.

IX-G2 Series

-ray Inspection System with Dual Energy Sensors While Inspection Performance in the Food Manufacturing Industry has improved in recent years, there have been ongoing calls for higher levels of detection. To meet such demand, Ishida has developed the new Dual-energy X-ray Inspection System for food safety and quality control. The new system employs Ishida’s secondgeneration IX-G2 X-ray system, which is based on technology used in the medical field known as dualenergy X-ray absorptiometry. What is the IX-G2 system? Ishida’s IX-G2 system Features new technology with enhanced sensitivity that employs dual-energy X-ray sensors to detect foreign objects like rubber, glass and bone that are difficult to detect using conventional X-ray image analysis methods. Ishida unveiled the IX-G2 for the first time last year at an international trade show to gauge the reaction of the overseas market. The system and the new technology it incorporates were the focus of a lot of attention and inquiries from visitors. Principle of IX-G2 & advantages Conventional X-ray inspection systems detect foreign objects and product contamination by processing transparent X-ray images and analyzing light and dark areas and shadows. It is therefore sometimes difficult to distinguish foreign objects in images due to overlapped products. In contrast to conventional systems, Ishida’s new G2 inspection method detects specific foreign objects by recognizing the density and type of material by comparing the absorption of X-rays in images obtained by energy sensors focused on two different levels. G2 technology boasts improved detection of lowdensity foreign objects in overlapped products and is also more adept at detecting products that are normally difficult to detect with X-ray machines – such as thin pieces of metal, glass fragments, egg shells, hard bones, or rubber in products that

Beverages & Food Processing Times

have uneven surfaces like frozen fried rice and cereal. Aside from offering improved inspection sensitivity, this new technology also helps reduce product giveaway due to false positives on the production line. Design features The IX-G2 was designed with a mirror-finished surface and black reverse triangle to project a sense of superior quality while providing uniformity with Ishida’s DACS-G Series check-weighers. The IX-G2s highly hygienic polished surfaces also provide the advantages of being easy to clean, easy to maintain and corrosion resistant. The conveyor unit complies with IP-66 while the conveyor itself can be easily detached without any tools or special equipment. User interface and target products The Systems touch-operated control panel is very user-friendly and easy on the eyes thanks to a large, 17-inch TFT monitor. The target product range is bulk or packed products up to 40 or 50 mm in height including cereal, snacks, confectionary, retort foods, frozen foods, prepared foods, processed meat, meat blocks, block butter, and short cans. Other functions In addition to the advantages provided by the new inspection technology, the IX-G2 features a range of handy functions from conventional Ishida X-ray inspection systems, including: 1. Missing item/fill detection 2. Weight estimation of bulk/packed products, single/chain packaging according to density and volume of individual items 3. Detection of defects such as cracks, broken products, incorrect alignment, and products trapped in seals Ishida currently offers two variations of the IX-G2 Series the IX-G2-2470 and the IX-G2-4076 which feature different belt widths to handle a variety of product types and sizes. www.ishidaindia.com

BENEO secures 2nd authorised 13.5 health claim in 2016 for its chicory root fibres

Inulin and oligofructose contribute to a reduction in blood glucose rise

unctional ingredients manufacturer BENEO is pleased to announce that the Standing Committee on Plant, Animals, Food and Feed has agreed with the EU Commission in its meeting on April 12th to authorise a second 13.5 health claim for the company’s chicory root fibres. The announcement comes just three months after the company received its first 13.5 health claim for its chicory inulin at the beginning of the year. The recent health claim confirms that inulin and oligofructose contribute to a better blood glucose management as they support a lower rise in blood glucose response. The wording for the claim may read “Consumption of food/drinks containing inulin/oligofructose instead of sugars induces a lower blood glucose rise after their consumption compared to sugar-containing foods/drinks” when BENEO`s chicory root fibres are used. The EU Commission will now continue with the publication of the health claim in the EU Official Journal which is expected within 4 to 6 weeks. Consequently, the claim will be able to be used in the market soon. In addition to the authorised 13.5 health claim, general health-related well-being claims under article 10.3 are also possible. Amongst others, these may include “lower and more balanced blood glucose rise”. A 30 percent sugar reduction needs to be obtained by replacement with nondigestible carbohydrates such as BENEO’s inulin

CLASSIFIED

and oligofructose according to the conditions of use. The authorisation is based on several scientific studies all of which confirm that oligofructose and inulin have a significant part to play in the area of glycaemic control. About 422 million people worldwide have diabetes, a number that is likely to more than double in the next 20 years. More than 90 percent of these people suffer from diabetes type II[1] so preventative measures, such as healthy eating, are a key area of concern. Leading scientists agree that a low glycaemic diet reduces the risk of type II diabetes and helps to control blood glucose levels, a factor that’s particularly important for people who already suffer from diabetes. Consumer awareness around the issue is growing and as a result, many more consumers are now seeking out low glycaemic products. The new health claim supports them in more easily identifying the respective products and also helps manufacturers to develop a greater variety of low glycaemic choices in response to this consumer need. BENEO’s inulin and oligofructose, derived from chicory root, contribute to a lower glycaemic response of food and drink products because they are not digested in the human digestive system and thus no glucose is released into the blood stream. Replacing high glycaemic ingredients (e.g. sucrose, glucose, maltodextrin) using BENEO’s dietary fibres that do not cause a glycaemic

response consequently lowers the blood glucose response of the final product and adds a valuable fibre source at the same time. Anke Sentko, VP Regulatory Affairs and Nutrition Communication:

choices in their daily diet that support a low glycaemic nutrition.”
