FSSAI Registrat ion

Food & Fruit Processing sector

in India
Do you know anything about FSSAI Registration ? Did you ever think how much it is
important for an eatery business? India is blessed with vast variety of food business. But most
of the food related business are dwindle in small scale and household sectors. By considering
this issue, Government has developed certain activities to encourage processing, marketing of
vegetables and fruits, dairy products and fisheries. After effect of this announcement a
number of Indian and multinational groups put their strong presence in such sectors and built
some important contributions to its development. The Government moulded lots of advanced
constraints to the development of the food processing Industry according to the FSSAI rules
and regulations. The constraints include quality raw materials the small agricultural holdings,
inadequate and expensive refrigeration facilities for storage purpose, transport and
distribution, good quality packaging and machinery and efficient technologies.

Government Attitude in FSSAI

Registration
Day by day these constraints are changing and there are lots of more possible way to
overcome such typical issues. Share of agriculture in GDP has come down to one third, and
approximately 64% Indian workers got direct employment under the FSSAI Act. 75%
peoples are live in rural areas. The Government attempted lots of efforts to increase the
income of formers, create employment opportunities, diversify the rural economy and
adoptive the rural industrialization. These sectors are having an important role in improving
the agricultural productivity, reducing the food wastages, and improving the food availability
for the export and domestic markets. The industries which are using all items used for food
packaging and the industry reserved for small scale sectors are considered to get this
facility. FSSAI new act is considerably reliable and really helpful for the food business
industries.

Policy of FSSAI Registration

All the types of food processing industries apart from milk products, malted foods & flours,
small scale sector industries are listed among high priority industries which are eligible for
automatic approval for 51% foreign equity participation under the new terms of registering
FSSAI & its Act. There is no requirement for obtaining an industrial license for setting up
and expanding the capacity in a food processing industry. The main condition is that the unit
should not be located within 25 kilometres from the periphery of standard urban area limit of
the city having the population more than 1 million according to the 1991 Census. The
Government encourages deep sea fishing, policy guidelines for licensing additional capacity
in case of sugar mills, bear, portable alcohol and alcoholic drinks. Certain cargos are
regulated under the essential commodities Act & FSSAI Registration Act.

Infrastructures
Those commodity requirements are mentioned in this guide. A number of processed food
items and alcohol are considered as highly demanded items for exporting. Shrimp, tomato
paste products, fruit juices, pulps and preserved mushroom etc. are considered in this
category. Exchange rate mechanisms, and introduction to the partial convertibility are the
main consequences of export mechanisms. Indian exports of processed foods are highly price
competitive and exported items gain attractive prices in rupee terms. The export profits are
excluded from the income tax filing and the duty for free import as well as the partial
availability of foreign currency at official rates to pay for the import of inputs for the export
production is counted and measured under the advanced licensing FSSAI scheme.

Special Schemes in FSSAI Registration

The capital goods imports for the exporting of advanced products can be made duty free or at
concessional duty rates under the export promotional capital goods scheme, depending upon
the multiple of foreign exchange outflow expected to be realised via export earnings. This
process are done under the control of new FSSAI Registration Act.

There are some special schemes available for 100 per cent oriented units and units located in
the export processing zone. These zones enable duty free imports of capital goods, raw
materials and other inputs, full convertibility of foreign exchange gained at the market place,
tax holidays for the period of 5 years and the facility for limited sale in the domestic tariff
area. To encouraging the development of agro based industry, Government has released agro-
based products such as sauces, ketchups, butter, cheese, milk powders, vegetable oil, jams,
jellies, dry fruits, dry veggies, certain soya products and the preparation of meat and fish from
excise duty altogether along with FSSAI.

special attraction of such country is the huge talent market within the country, availability of
raw material and the potential for the further development of raw materials, and the high
priority accordance with this sector by the Government. Another attractive resources of India
is its manpower with practical skill. These costs are considerably lower than in developed
countries. Likewise, considering the natural and human resources and the potential for the
development, highly favourable rupee exchange rate as well as the numerous incentives for
encouraging exports, India also makes a good low cost base for locating an export oriented
unit in the food processing industry.
