Competition
The food processing sector is a highly fragmented industry. Many entrepreneurs in this industry are small in terms of production and operations and largely concentrated in the unorganized segment. This segment accounts for more than 70 percent of the output in terms of volume and 50 percent in terms of value.

Though the organized sector seems comparatively small, it is growing at a very fast pace. For a first generation entrepreneur to succeed, it’s critical to find the product gap in the market, offer differentiated products and packaging, and distribute and visualize. With the advent of organized retail, there is better opportunity to place the product closer to the consumer.

Word of mouth and first few happy customers/retailers will be the biggest advertisers. Attention to detail and listening to them will determine the success rate. While newspapers, radio and television will spread awareness about the product quickly, having a website
and a page on Facebook is a must. However, nothing can match ground promotion and product trials at outlets.
