India….a nation on the move.
• The third largest growing economy in the world with a stable 7 – 8% annual growth.
• Despite a global recession, India has managed to retain its position as one of the fastest growing economies in the world.
• Indian rupee has a distinct and identifiable symbol that reflects the strength of the over trillion dollar economy.
• India has a population of over one billion, and a rapidly growing middle income population of over 300 million.
![Page 3: India Initiative, Activity Number 11AS55](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56816761550346895ddc378a/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
• With growing middle-income consumers and increasing urbanization and greater exposure to international products, India remains an expanding market for U.S. high-value agricultural products.
• According to the global consumer confidence survey done by Neilson, the consumer confidence index was highest in India.
• Organized retailers are increasing their focus on improving business models and backward linkages.

Key Growth Drivers

FDI in multi brand retail…!• Foreign FDI was prohibited in food retail
except for single brand retail.
• In January 2006, up to 51 per cent foreign investment was allowed in single-brand retailing.
• The GOI has recently allowed 51 per cent FDI in multi-brand retail and allowed 100% FDI in single-brand retail.

FDI open gates for new opportunities for imported food
• The opening up of multi brand retail will lead to the entry of major retail giants like Wal-Mart, Tesco and Carrefour etc.
• This step would lead to greater competition and greater need to differentiate. The retailers, both Indian as well as foreign will focus on offering specialty foods coinciding with changing consumer tastes.
• The entry of these major players will encourage stocking of processed and packaged food along with wines, nuts, specialty foods etc.

Consumption pattern of Indian consumer
• Consumption of processed and ready-to-eat (RTE) or convenience foods is higher in urban areas because of relatively higher disposable incomes, the convenience of saving time or exposure to western style food and international cuisines.
• Demand for specialty and high value foods, including snack foods, chocolates, almonds and other dried nuts, cakes and pastries, exotic fruits, fruit juices, and sweets peaks during the fall festive season, especially at Diwali and also during Indian wedding season.

Roadmap for Market Entry in India• U.S. exporters should survey existing and potential markets for their
products before initiating sales.
• A visit to India to gain a first-hand feel of the Indian market, preferably coinciding with any major food shows or outbound trade missions could be useful.
• The successful introduction of a new product to India depends on good local representation and an effective pricing strategy.
• The local representative should preferably be the importer or distributor. The assistance from the country consultants is available in selecting an agent if required. “Helping southern U.S. companies export food & agricultural products around the world.”

• Most Indian processed food importers prefer to:
– Purchase mixed containers with smaller quantities of individual products.
– Seek exclusive agreements from exporters.– Use the services of freight consolidators to handle their
orders from various exporters.• The key to success is to focus on a reasonable’ entry pricing
strategy as Indian consumers are price sensitive.

Challenges before Southern Exporters in 2012
• Competition from countries with closer geographic proximity to India, which enjoy shorter shipping times and low cost freight advantage.
• Competition from Domestic Products in terms of pricing
• Competition from products imported via grey market
• Lack of education on labeling requirements with US exporters
• Diverse food preferences throughout the country.
![Page 17: India Initiative, Activity Number 11AS55](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062816/56816761550346895ddc378a/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• India works on the basis of relationships and they take time to form.
• Lack of adequate cold-chain infrastructure and transportation facilities hamper proper handling, storage and transportation of the imported foods in the vast number of retail stores spread across the country.
• Inability of U.S. exporters to meet Indian importers’ requirements like mixed shipments (consolidation).

• High tariffs on the majority of food items along with various non-tariff barriers continue to remain a bottleneck for import growth.
• Marketing channels for the majority of imported foods also involve a lot of intermediaries, which push the final / retail cost of the product to higher levels.
