Accessibility of Raw Materials and Cheaper Labour Costs Provide India with a Competitive Edge in the Food and Beverage Industry

DUBLIN, Ireland--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c84304) has announced the
addition of "India: Food and Beverages 4Q 2007" to their offering.

The Indian economy has had one of its best performances since
1991, a 9.2% increase year on year in the third quarter of 2006. The
robust economic growth was encouraging for the food and beverage
market, as more products are becoming affordable due to rising
disposable income levels, changing age profile (more young people) and
increasing consumerism. Besides that, the accessibility of raw
materials and cheaper labour costs provides India a competitive edge.

"India: Food and Beverages" covers the global sector review, the
food and beverages industry in India, selected segments for review -
branded flour, the bread, biscuit and confectionary industry etc, and
policy initiatives by the government. It also covers the market trends
and outlook, new wine policy, investment of US in India's food
processing sector and Coca Colas investment in India.

In addition it provides a comparative matrix and SWOT of the food
and beverages industry leading players: Ruchi Soya Industries Ltd,
Nestle India Ltd, Britannia Industries Ltd, Tata Tea Ltd and Hatsun
Agro Products Ltd.
