Description:
India is one of the leading potatoes producing country. Potatoes produced in states are suitable for value added processing like manufacturing of potato flakes and powder. Potato powder/flakes have wide application in the processed and snack food industries, it can be used in any recipe which requires mashed potatoes. Potato flakes/powder is used in bread, pancake and waffle recipes or as a thickener for smoother sauces, gravies and soups. Also used in fabricated potato chips, extruded snacks, snack pellets, battered breaded products etc. It is also used in gluten-free and allergy cooking. Potato flakes/powder is increasingly being used in a variety of food preparations like snack foods (mc Donald, Pringle, Haldiram Namkeens etc.), soups, ready to eat vegetable curries and other dishes as a thickening agent and stir fries. It has strong potato flavor. It can be a binding material for preparing kheer, tikki, chops, pakoda, cutlets, stuffed paratha, kofta and other products. Its use at present is mainly in hotels, restaurants, but acceptance in household is growing due to its inclusion in items like ready to cook soups, dal, curries, etc. It gives added flavors to curries. It can be used in gulab jamun, puri and paratha. India is one of the largest producers of potato and ranks third contributing around 7.5% to the world’s production. Potato is probably the most popular food item in the Indian diet and is a highly nutritive food. India's potato production has seen a phenomenal increase since the 1950s, mainly due to strong demand from the processing industry and remunerative returns. According to the Central Potato Research Institute (CPRI), the area under potato rose by almost 547% since the 50s, while yield rose by 267% and overall output jumped by 146%. In 2008-09, potato production (which is a winter crop) was around 28 million tonnes as against 25 million tonnes achieved last year. India' potato output is likely to rise by 5.1 percent to a record 32.7 million tonnes in 2009-10. The potato flakes is supplied in bulk to the manufacturers of the various snack food items and restaurants/ hotels. The major demand is in cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Nagpur, etc. The demand is much more than the supply at present and is likely to grow with the increasing popularity of the snack foods and other items where potato powder is used as input. It has good export potential also, and European countries are largest consumer of potato flakes/flour. According to a study by McKinney & Co, the Indian food market will grow two fold by 2025 with the rapidly growing Indian economy and improving lifestyles of Indians contributing in a big way to this growth. The market size for the food consumption category in India is expected to grow from US$ 155 billion in 2005 to US$ 344 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate of 4.1 per cent according to market survey. With a growing population and rising per capita income with different lifestyles consumers are willing to pay a premium for both value-added private and branded products, creating immense opportunities for manufacturers and retailers in this sector. There is a very good scope and market potential for potato flakes and new entrepreneurs should venture into this field.

Potato flakes can be used anywhere, where one would use mashed potatoes. Potato flakes are potatoes that have been through an industrial process to yield a packaged convenience food that can be reconstituted in the home in seconds by adding hot water or milk, producing mashed potatoes with very little expenditure of time and effort. Mashed potatoes can be reconstituted from potato flour, but the process is made more difficult by lumping; a key characteristic of flakes is, it eliminates the lumping and the mash is smooth. Properties of Potato Flakes • It is crispy and very lightweight product. • It is free flowing. • Its colour is same as potato • It can absorb moistures from air and become soft when exposed. • It can be preserved for more than one year when it is vacuum packed with nitrogen flash. The potato dehydration and flakes manufacturing unit has exclusively been reserved on small scale by Govt. of India as per Industrial Policy introduced in 1983. No any big competitor may enter in this field. The potato flakes and powder is meant only for export. Although domestic market for dehydrated and powdered potato is there but more than 70% of the total indigenous production of potato flakes /powder is exported to various countries. Due to demand growth, it is a good project for entrepreneurs to invest. Any entrepreneurs venture into this field will be successful.

Potato flakes are the most important form of dehydrated potato products, which also include potato granules, pellets, powder, shredded and sliced potato. Dehydrated potato flakes are made by pressing cooked mashed potatoes onto a drum drier, which forms a sheet that can be broken up and ground to the required density. Potato flakes can be used anywhere, where one would use mashed potatoes. The potato flakes are widely used in the processing and manufacturing of the convenience foods, frozen foods, prepared foods for it flour thickening, oil and water-holding, incremental filling, Shell making and so on. The storage and transportation of the potato flakes are safe, the cost is low, and shelf life is longer.
The demand of potato flakes is growing continuously in India due to their increased usage in fried snacks (Alu Bhujiya), extruded products, soup powders, pasta, fabricated chips and French fries. India presently imports about 3500 metric tonnes of potato flakes every year, although, there are four major flake manufacturers in the country. According to projections, India, which presently produces about 25 million tonnes of potatoes per annum, will be producing about 50 million tonnes per annum by 2020. Potato processing, therefore, will be essential to sustain the present rate of growth of production which is likely to improve further. A conservative estimate shows that nearly 10% of this projected potato production (5 million tonnes) will be accounted for in processing.
The demand for potato Flakes has been continuously growing for the last decade, more so due to the application of the potato flake in a large way in the snack food industry. Thus, due to demand it is best to invest in this project.
