Manufacture of POTATO Flour / POTATO Powder

About Project
Setting up of a unit for manufacture of potato powder

About Product and its use:
Potato powder is increasingly being used in a variety of food preparations like snack foods (Mc Donald, Pringle, Haldiram namkeens etc.), soups, curries and other dishes as a thickening agent. 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, dals, curries, etc.

Market Potential:
The potato powder 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. There is good potential for its export also.

Production process and technology:
Procurement of potato  Washing  Cooking  Pulping  Drum drying  Potato Powder  Packaging  Marketing

The plant and machinery can be used for producing other products like fruit powder, tomato powder, etc.

Key risk factors:
Availability of adequate quantity of suitable chip varieties, which are used for powder making (like Kufri Jyoti, Kufri Chipsona) is the major factor which could affect the project.

Availability of alternatives to potato powder for thickening like tapioca, corn starch etc., could affect the market of potato powder adversely. However at present there is no problem

Quality control and Statutory Requirements
The unit need to obtain a licence under FPO 1955 from the Ministry of Food Processing Industry
Clearance from State Pollution Control Board

Capacity of processing raw material (potato):
a) Indigenous technology - 32 MT/ day of potato for 90 days per annum.
b) Imported technology - 96 MT/ day of potato for 90 days
Capacity utilisation is assumed on 90 days basis as the storage facilities for these varieties are not commonly available. However, capacity utilisation can be increased if the existing cold storages are modified suitably with an additional investment of about Rs 2000/ MT.
Potato powder recovery: 17% of the raw material.
Cost of raw material (potato): Rs 2500 per MT,
Sale price of powder: Rs. 55000/ MT.
Manpower requirement:
a) Indigenous technology: Skilled and trained - 2 Nos; Unskilled - 3 Nos
b) Imported technology: Technical - 2 Nos; Skilled - 2 Nos; Semi-skilled - 3 Nos.
Power requirement:
a) Indigenous technology: 40 HP
b) Imported technology: 60 HP
Water requirement:
a) Indigenous technology: 1,50,000 litres per day.
b) Imported technology: 5,00,000 litres per day.
