Press Release Summary = RNCOS Research: (http://www.rncos.com/Report/FB15.htm) Even
if organic food farming offers great opportunities to exporters and brings in huge
revenue, organic food alone can't serve the food requirements of the entire nation
any more.

Approximately 30 years ago, India enthusiastically cuddled to the tools and
techniques of Green Revolution. Dams and irrigation projects were accomplished to
reduce the reliance on monsoon and enable the farmers yield more than one crop per
year. Though, the benefits derived from Green Revolution can't be ruled out. There
were some unnecessary side effects also that became more apparent in the past few
years. Hence, organic farming was the next option that Indian farmers preferred to
go with.

The beginning of the new millennium marked a rapid boost in organic farming in
India, as the government had realized the great income potential of organic food
export by then. The other factor to push the growth of organic food production was
its cost-effectiveness as compared to modern farming. Unlike modern farming, organic
farming requires fairly lesser investment in equipments and chemicals.

As per a recent research report named, "Food Processing Market in India (2005)"
published by RNCOS, "Around 53% of organic food produced in India is exported,
whereas merely 2.5% population of India consumes the organically grown food. The
reason being the moderately higher cost of organic food, as it costs around 25%
more". As per experts, "Sole dependence on organic food can't fulfill the food
requirement of the masses. To avoid food shortage we ought to take both the organic
as well as modern farming together".

As per experts, "The export of organic food and value added agricultural produce
should further grow in the years to come. Thus, enabling the food processing
industry in India to earn more revenue".

Various government support programs to support the growth of Indian food industry
are discussed in this report. The report also provides a comprehensive analysis of
the current trends and future prospects of the food processing market in India.
Profiles of the key players in this sector, legal framework and regulations
governing the food industry in India and also the challenges and opportunities
before the Indian organic food business make this report a must read for both the
investors as well as the industrialists.
