Abstract
Urbanisation, increase in income, changing lifestyle, and foreign influence has induced demand for processed foods and has implications for the growth and performance of food processing industries in India. The paper assesses the growth and perspectives of 15 sub groups of the food processing industry using the data published by the Annual Survey of Industries (Gol, various issues) on organised industries for the period of 1989 to 2008. Based on the growth performance two groups of food processing industry were identified i.e., traditional and emerging sectors.
