India Food and Beverage Sector Report 2024-2025

India is one of the world's most significant food & beverage producers. It occupies leading positions in the global production of rice, wheat, maize, centrifugal sugar, soybean meal, soybean oil, coffee, banana, poultry meat, milk, and shrimp. Nevertheless, India's food and beverage sector continues to show considerable growth potential, as a sizable proportion of India's production capacity is operated by the unorganised sector of the economy, which has limited economies of scale and technological capability. As a consequence of this, the food & beverage industry only represented 1.2% of the country's GDP in FY2023 and 3.2% of India's total exports in 2022 (calendar year). The access to a vast domestic market continues to be the main growth driver for the Indian food & beverage industry as the economic growth in India is contributing to the rising affluence of the population, leading to changes in consumption habits towards higher quality products. The productivity enhancement in the food & beverage segment is not only required to capitalise on the opportunities created by the domestic market but also to turn its chronic trade deficit into a trade surplus through a reduction in import dependence and by an expansion of exports through higher levels of international competitiveness.
