Papad is essentially a thin wafer-like product, circular in shape, rolled from dough
made from flour of pulses with salt, chilli and spices added to it. It is easy to digest
and nutritious as well. There are many farsan items popular throughout the country
and minor changes are made in some ingredients to suit the local tastes and
preferences. Items like masala puffed rice, chevda, fried peas, dal-muth, roasted
masala peanuts etc. fall under the category of farsan. Papad is eaten along with the
main course as taste enricher, while farsan is a snack
2. MARKET POTENTIAL
2.1 Demand and Supply
Namkin & Farsan manufacturing is primarily confined to the unorganised sector.
There are some national brands like Lijjat, Leher, Haldiram, Lays, Ghodawat & Balaji
etc. but their products are affordable and thus have limited market share. Bulk of
the market is controlled by the local brands. Market for these products is growing
steadily and there are not much seasonal fluctuations.
2.2 Marketing Strategy
Pricing is a critical aspect to compete with established brands and the product has
to be pushed through with the help of retailers. A small delivery van is necessary.
Requisite changes in the ingredients have to be made in line with regional likings.
Farsan items can be sold in bulk packing of 2, 5 and 10 kgs. to the retailers who, in
turn, would repack them in suitable quantity and sell. This is a standard practice in
this industry as retailers from nearby centres prefer to buy them in bulk for selling
in local market.
