PROJECT DESCRIPTION
India vegetable basket is incomplete without mentioning the king of vegetables-potato-a sustaining force and a culinary delight. The power of potato is known for sustaining millions of lives by providing food and nutrition during distress times. Its high production potential per unit area high nutritional value and great taste makes potato one of the most important food crops in the world classified as a vegetable, potatoes help contribute to the minimum goal of eating five serving of fruits and vegetables per day. One serving a 5.3 ounce, medium potato provides 45 percent of the daily value for vitamin c three grams of fiber, only 100 calories etc.
Potato powder and flakes are processed potatoes. It will help to increase the shelf life of potatoes. There are various machines required for the processing of potatoes most of the machines are indigenceously available, very few of them may be imported.
Potato flake is crispy and very lightweight product. It also absorb moistures from air and become soft. It is used as breakfast of snack food. Potato powder is used for making allu bhujia, it is used to make soup concentrate since potato is perishable commodity it needs to be stored at proper temperature. However storage facilities are sufficient only for one third of the produce. There are many cold storage at present in India. Moreover, while in transportation, sizable quantities are destroyed approximately 10% of potato production is used as seed.
The demand for potato chips and wafers will not show much increase as it is a convention food. Its demand is likely to increase at 5 percent per annum. The demand for flakes and granule is likely to show a higher growth rate in the coming years. Flakes and granules are used in fried namkeen, extruded product, soap powders, prepared meals, baby food industry etc. The productions of flakes increase likely to increase export demand at the rate of 8 percent per annum in next few year.
The production of potatoes is quite high in India. The national average yield is expected to 24.54 tonnes/hectare by the year 2020 and production is likely to reach 49 million tonnes by 2020.
There exists a very good opportunity and scope to venture into this field for new entrepreneurs.
