AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE PROCESSING AND VALUE ADDITION (SECONDARY AGRICULTURE) IN PRODUCTION CATCHMENTS
Director Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering Bhopal (MP) January 21, 2012
Pitam Chandra
PRESENT SCENARIO
Food production in the country is adequate but it is not accessible to all. Inadequate income earned by about 25% population High post harvest losses on farm and in the supply chain linking farmers to markets (estimated annual loss of Rs. 44,000 crore) Inadequate livelihood opportunities in the production catchments and rural sector
PRESENT SCENARIO
High level of women and child malnutrition Mismatch between agri-exports and agriimports Huge quantities of under-utilized crop residues and processing by-products leading to loss of income and environmental sustainability Low levels of agro-processing and value addition

Global Picture
High income countries add US$ 180 worth of value to one tonne of agricultural produce 98% of agricultural produce in high income countries undergoes industrial processing About 30% only is processed in developing countries Average value added per tonne in developing countries is only US$ 40
CRITICAL GAPS
Agricultural produce processing and value addition technologies are financial resource and knowledge intensive leading to slow absorption of these technologies by the entrepreneurs and industries Agro-produce processing industry is insensitive to utilizing residues and byproducts for converting them into value added products
CRITICAL GAPS
Acute shortage of trained scientific and academic manpower to propel these programmes commensurate with the countrys needs. Agro-produce processing infrastructure needs considerable strengthening to meet the present and emerging challenges Lack of enabling policy framework for adoption of these technologies in production catchments
To Sum Up
Reduce post harvest losses Enhance income and employment generation in farm and rural sectors Make high quality raw material available to agro-processing industries Make food accessible to all Ensure environmental sustainability
Priorities
expanding the level of processing in the food grains, fruits & vegetables and dairy sectors on priority, raising the level of processing from primary/ secondary to secondary/ tertiary for all commodities, modernizing the food processing sectors using the efficient equipment and processes for cost competitiveness and better quality products, ensuring adequate training of workers, supervisors and managers in food processing industries to ensure efficient operations and product quality, providing skills and knowledge to farmers for ensuring quality of produce through adoption of GAP, and promoting seamless value chain including post harvest management and value addition in production catchments to obviate the quantitative and qualitative losses.
