A significant part of India's economy relies on the food processing industry. Connections between agriculture and business are crucial to its success. As a result of its immense potential for value addition, this industry plays a vital role in the manufacturing process. There have been significant shifts in the food industry's production, processing, marketing, and consumption due to the reforms implemented in the 1990s. In the future, India's demand for processed food products is expected to rise, creating possibilities for more value addition, less waste, and new forms of employment. Based on the study's findings, India has a competitive advantage in the food processing industry due to the quality and variety of its raw materials, the expertise of its labour force, the low cost of its operations, and the prevalence of cutting-edge technology. However, the food processing business still needs to fulfil its potential, despite possessing excellent and favourable prerequisites.
