The concept of satisfying food prevalent in western countries is new to Indians. Factors like increasing numbers of working women, growing millennials, busy work schedules, and ongoing eating habits will gain popularity in the food sector in India.
To meet the growing demand of this large segment of consumers, there will be many new RTE brands on the market. Unlike huge brands, new entrants try to create a niche category for themselves, serving breakfast cereals, canned / frozen foods, spreads, acne and so on.
Although food is considered unsuitable for unforeseen market conditions, the segment is highly competitive and dynamic. Through trial and error, I learned that RTE food brands need to adhere to the following aspects:
Get to know your Target Customers:
To create a loyal customer base, the first step is to understand your brand's target audience.
The current generation is well aware of what they put into it, so they can consider the nutritional value of a particular product without compromising on it.
Demand for ready-to-eat (RTE) food products has increased over the past few years, thanks to the fast-paced lifestyle and income levels in the country.
When you prioritize health factors; the cost of the product is increasing, but the current generation prefers to spend less if it means that the product will be fresh and original.
India's cooking style has changed dramatically over the past few years due to the advent of modern technology and other factors such as urbanization, increasing workforce, increasing female labor force and increasing nuclear family.
My people have been transitioning to ready-to-eat foods to save time on preparing meals. Identifying the problem can be more difficult than finding a solution. If you can find out where the gaps are and what your customers are looking for, half the battle is won.
Food Safety:
Maintaining a shelf life is one of the major challenges in delivering preservative-free retail products. Managing efficient packing units is one of the important factors for easy food safety, transportation and distribution.
Food packaging ensures that food is not contaminated by growing microbes from the outside and also improves product quality and longer shelf life.
One should pay particular attention to cleanliness, hygiene, air quality in the kitchen and cooking process which greatly enhances the shelf life of the product.
The ingredients used to make ready-to-eat foods need to be fresh to live longer; especially when no preservatives are added.
The seller must be carefully selected to use suitable ingredients such as vegetables, milk and poultry or spices. All ingredients should be sent back for laboratory testing to verify the quality.
Rental Skills Source:
The RTE industry needs skilled people at various stages of the production process. Efficient food technicians are required to follow the rules of hygiene, cleaning, maintaining proper temperatures in preparation and bottling.
Food experts or chefs help roll out products with notes of spices and spices to suit all tastes. In addition, operational managers have a good understanding of logistics, logistics and cost control, in order to move goods from the store or production facilities into the hands of consumers.
Factory and Warehouse Unit
The production and packaging of ready-to-eat foods requires advanced machinery and equipment that require large space.
Kitchen air quality should be kept clean, which should be treated regularly. Load production, longer shelf packing should be done for longer shelves.
If the larger space in the local area is above budget, it can be set up on the periphery and the corporate team can access the retail store to attend regular client meetings and meetings.
Neighbors with Industry Advisers and Veterans:
Last but not least, the most important thing to do is find an experienced adviser who can guide you through each step. Create a team to make sure you have smart, motivated people who are not afraid of challenges.
