WORKSHOP ON PACKAGING IN FOOD PROCESSING Rationale Themes Current status and future prospectus of food packaging Innovative strategies for growth and development of food packaging sector 23 January 2015 Business opportunities in packaging industry Demands and challenges in packaged food sector The food and beverage segment occupy the largest share in the packaging industry, accounting for around 85 per cent. Packaging is becoming an essential part of value chain analysis, regarding food safety, organoleptic characteristics, ergonomics & flexibility. Packaging is also an essential medium for preserving food quality, minimising food wastage and reducing preservatives used in food. Thus packaging serves as an important function of containing the food, protecting against chemical and physical damage whilst providing information essential to consumers and marketers. If adequately packaged, the shelf-life of local surplus of food may be extended, and this allows the food to be distributed to other areas. In doing so, consumers are given more choice in terms of food available, food resources can be more equitably distributed, and rural producers may be able to generate income from surplus produce. The packaging industry is poised to grow rapidly led by the increasing use of innovative packaging equipments and the rising flexible packaging markets.

Of this packaged food stands close to only about US$ 0.85 billion. Thus there is a tremendous potential for growth of flexible packaging in the food and processed food sectors. It's not only important to understand why packaging food is important but how to properly package the food. Unfortunately there is not one clear packaging option. Food packaging depends on the type of food, its size, and whether or not it's refrigerated or frozen. India’s per capita consumption of packaging is only 4.3 kg per person per annum, as against Germany’s 42 kg and China’s 20 kg, which is very low compared to global standards. It is also observed that a mere 20 per cent of the population in India consumes 80 per cent of the packaged production whereas the remaining 80 per cent of the population have an access to only 20 per cent of the packaged production. There exists an exceptional gap in India between the necessary and actual demand for packaging of essential commodities and this is one of the major reasons why the growth of flexible packaging is not an alternative here but is rather an imperative. Initiatives are needed to convert the large unpacked commodities into processed and packed and well-presented commodities. India's imports at 20-25% with a value of $125 million of its total packaging machinery indicate further opportunities not only for Indian companies to increase their share in domestic market but also for international companies to explore new business opportunities in India. Consumers need to play their part by recycling packaging products (such as aluminum, glass and plastic) instead of throwing them in the trash. Against this backdrop, ni-msme proposes to organize one day Workshop on Packaging in Food Processing. Objectives This workshop aims at exposing the participants To create the awareness on packaged food products those are safe and secure to the end user To provide the knowledge on the importance of packaged food products To rectify the malfunctioning packaging practices and mistakes in the supply chain which affect the quality and integrity of the food product To highlight the importance of new techniques in reuse and recycling of food packaging to the consumers & to the packaging industry To encourage the consumers to buy products with good packaging and presentation Workshop Date: 23 January 2015 Venue: ni-msme, Hyderabad Details of Faculty/Resource Persons Scientists/Experts/Faculty Members will be invited from reputed organisations like Indian Institute of Packaging (IIP) Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI) National Institute of Nutrition (NIN) Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (IICT) Directorate of Sorghum Research (DSR) Prof. Jayashanker Agriculture University Osmania University National Institute for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (ni-msme) Anticipated Outputs & benefits The program enables the participants to understand the significance of packaging of food products in preserving food quality, reducing the wastage, increasing the shelf life, reaching out more consumers with good presentation and description; benefits of recycling of food packaging; exploring more business opportunities.
