<h1>India's Food Processing Sector Faces Low Processing Rates and High Losses Despite Growing GDP Contribution.</h1> The Vision 2015 strategy document highlights the low level of food processing in India, particularly in fruits and vegetables, with only 2.2% processed compared to much higher rates in developed and some developing countries. A study by the Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering and Technology estimated annual harvest and post-harvest losses at Rs.44,000 crore as of 2009. India's global export share of processed food was 1.46% in 2010. The GDP from the food processing sector was Rs.60,379 crore in 2008-09, Rs.58,753 crore in 2009-10, and Rs.62,933 crore in 2010-11.
