CHAPTER-2
INTRODUCTION
2.1. Spices play an important role in enhancing the flavour and taste of the processed
foods. On account of their ability to impart flavour and aroma, spices have been used
in the preparation of a wide variety of processed foods. Spices are required in
preparing appetising and digested beverages and confectionary, soup powders, sauces,
instant curries, canned meat and poultry products etc. Spices are also used in the
medicines because of their carminative stimulating and digestive properties.
2.2. Ground spices are extensively used in all types of curried dishes in India and abroad.
Although spices are traded chiefly in an unprocessed form, a small yet significant
quantity enters international trade as spice powders. Curry powder is the foremost of
those blends or mixes and sometimes consists of 20 or more spices designed to add
the characteristic flavour of an Indian curry, which is appreciated all over the world.
Apart from the overseas market, processed curry powder is becoming popular in the
domestic market also. Hence the demand for unadulterated spices and curry powder in
attractive packaging is fast emerging.
2.3. Demand for processed spices is directly linked with its consumption in food
processing industry and this is set to grow in India in coming years with growth of
population and fast changing food habits as well as increase in purchasing power of
the middle and upper class households in India.
2.4. Considering the potential market opportunity of such units, the present detail project
report has been developed. The main objective of such initiative is to productively
utilize the abundantly available resources of the local area and to enable uninterrupted
supply of the products to market throughout the year.
2.6.1. A detailed analysis has been carried out considering mainly the aspects below:
2.6.6. Estimation of the cost of the project and working capital requirements.
2.6.8. Estimation of cost of operation, profitability and fund flow statements etc.
2.6.10. The total Project cost is estimated at Rs. 18.45 Lakhs which includes margin money
for working capital @ 25%.
