Import Regulations Related to Food
Products (1/2)

Due to free trade agreements with ASEAN countries, products imported from these countries attract
substantially lower (or zero) basic duty. For example, basic duty for HS code 0204 10 00 (meat of
sheep or goats) under normal circumstances is 30%, however, if it is manufactured and imported via
ASEAN route, the basic duty reduces to 0%

Excise duties are reduced significantly (completely exempted in some cases) on all such products
that cannot be produced in India (such as olive oil)

Import of beef and derived products in any form are prohibited

All consignments of edible oils and processed food products imported in bulk shall carry a
declaration from the concerned exporter on the shipping documents that the consignment does
not contain beef in any form; all consignments imported in consumer packs shall carry a
declaration on the label of the package that the product is free from beef in any form

Import of all such edible/food products (which are governed by Prevention of Food Adulteration Act)
shall be subject to condition that, at the time of importation, the products have a valid shelf life of not
less than 60% of its original shelf life
59

Food Safety and Standards Authority of
India (FSSAI)

The Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has been established under Food
Safety and Standards Act, 2006 (FSS Act) which consolidates various acts & orders that have
hitherto handled food related issues in various Ministries and Departments

It is responsible for

Laying down science based standards for articles of food

Regulating the manufacture, storage, distribution, sale and import of food to ensure
availability of safe and wholesome food for human consumption

Introduction of the FSS Act repealed a number of individual regulatory acts such as Edible Oils
Packaging Order and Milk and Milk Products Order

The Act aims to establish a single reference point for all matters relating to food safety and
standards

FSSAI also collects and collates data regarding food consumption, incidence and prevalence of
biological risk, contaminants in food, residues of various, contaminants in foods products,
identification of emerging risks and introduction of rapid alert system

Impact of Changes in Labelling Laws

Over 200 MT of imported gourmet chocolates from around the world, including brands such as
Godiva, Guylian, Lindt and Mars, are stuck at various Indian ports due to non-compliance with new
Indian labelling laws

Several other food categories such as French artisinal cheese, American crisps, Thai condiments,
and Italian pasta sauces have also been held up for non-compliance

FSSAI is especially wary of labelling violations on chocolate products as tests reveal that many of
them contain very high level of vegetable fat, which is not permissible under the Indian law

Small-scale importers who primarily depend on a single food category have been badly affected
with many of them already closing the business

Indian packaging and labelling regulations have been in place since 2011 and ample grace period
was given to importers to align themselves with new regulations

Since November 2013, FSSAI has stopped allowing imported products that do not comply with the
new laws

Cold Storage – An Overview

Cold storage infrastructure in India is highly inadequate for the country’s requirements

About 40,000 crores worth of food (F&V, dairy, meat, grains etc) is wasted primarily due to lack
of cold storage

India currently has about 30 million MT of cold storage capacity which is only half of what is
actually required

75% of the cold storage network is concentrated in 5 states of Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, West
Bengal, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh

Majority of this cold storage network supports only potato storage; there is not adequate
infrastructure for other vegetables

Though cold storage and refrigeration requirements are required across all food processing
segments, they are required most in meat processing, diary processing and F&V processing
segments

Danfoss and Alfa Laval are leading players in cold storage, and Voltas, Carrier, Blue Star and Rinac
are prominent in the refrigeration segment

Cold Storage – Opportunities


There is a huge scope for development and investment in this sector

Frozen foods segment is growing at 20-25% year-on-year

Dairy segment is growing at around 10-15% year-on-year
Replacement demand is very high as a number of companies are using old equipments which
consume high amounts of power; smart power saving cold storage equipments’ market is seeing an
uptrend

International companies aren’t keen on building the cold storage network per se, but are focusing
primarily on selling and marketing refrigeration equipment

Government is trying to help players who are interested in investments by providing subsidies and
tax incentives
In addition to an immediate need for development of a strong cold storage network, there is a
huge demand for specific products in the value chain, such as compressors, insulation
products, and heat exchangers; in the short term, Italian companies can take advantage of this
market

Conclusions and Recommendations
107
107
Conclusion and Recommendations – Food
Processing

India is one of the largest food producers in the world and offers vast opportunities to food processing
companies; the sector has been growing at ~15% CAGR and is expected grow at a much faster
rate of 25% in the coming years. Its priority sector status and significant support from the
government (setting up mega food parks, etc) makes it a very attractive sector for investment.
Apart from catering to domestic demand, Italian companies can make India an exporting hub for its
competitive advantage in production and exports (Nestle has been successful in doing so)

As most of the segments within food processing sector are exempted from the provisions of
industrial licensing1 making it easier for Italian companies to set up operation in India; moreover,
with 100% allowance in FDI in food processing sector (except in beer and alcoholic drinks, and items
reserved for small scale sector, like vinegar, bread and bakery), Italian companies may enter the
Indian market through any mode of operation (joint venture, partnership, acquisition,
representative office, etc)
1 Under
Industries (Development and Regulation) Act, 1951
108
108
Conclusion and Recommendations – Food
Processing

As food industry in India evolves, food norms are changing rapidly and are becoming more
stringent than before, especially in terms of labeling and packaging requirements; Italian companies
planning to set up operations in India should thoroughly understand the implications of these changes
before deciding on the entry strategy

Competition within the food processing sector is intense with few large players in each segment
competing for organized market share, however, companies with robust and innovative product
offerings, customized to suit Indian palate, have good potential to become leading players in the
Indian market
109
109
Conclusion and Recommendations –
Machinery

Italian machinery has significant presence in the fruits & vegetables processing segment, and
beverages segment; however, meat processing, packaged foods (snack food, biscuits and RTE),
and ice cream industry offer high growth potential for machinery manufacturers

There is substantial demand for companies offering turnkey solutions; currently except Alfa Laval,
hardly any other company is offering such high-end solutions; Italian equipment manufacturing
companies can enter India with a focus on providing end-to-end solutions to food processing
companies

Solutions for small and medium companies: small and medium players currently have very limited
options when it comes to cost effective solutions; Italian machinery manufacturers may expand their
presence by acquiring equipment manufacturers who provide solutions to small scale companies

In 2011, Heat and Control acquired Indore-based Flavorite Technologies, a company that
provides equipment and solutions to the local food processing industry. Since then, market
share of Heat and Controls have increased significantly, and a large portion of its India revenues
come from Flavorite
