2.0 Introduction

Indian fisheries and aquaculture has been emerged as an important allied sector of Indian Agriculture in time of food production since independence and thus, providing nutritional security to food basket, contributing to the

agriculture exports and serving as a vital avenue for employment generation. The vivacity of the sector is evident from the eleven fold increase in fish production in just six decades, i.e., from 0.75 million tonnes in 1950-51 to 8.3 million tonnes at present i.e. 2011-12. On account of unparallel growth

rate of 4.5% over the year, Indian has been able to secure a position in global forefront only after China.

With a coastline of over 8129 kms and 2.02 million sq.km of EEZ (Exclusive

Economic Zone), 28000 km of rivers and millions of hectares of reservoir & brackish water, India has vast potential for fisheries from both inland and marine resources. Besides meeting the domestic needs, the dependence of

over 14.5 million people on fisheries activities for their livelihood and foreign exchange earning to the tune of Rs.129 billion (2010-11) from the fisheries produce, amply justifies the importance of the sector on the country’s economy and also livelihood security.

The country has 429 Fish Farmers Development Agencies (FFDAs) and 39 Brackish water Fish Farms Development Agencies (BFDAs) for promoting freshwater and coastal aquaculture. The annual carp seed production is to the

tune of 20 billion and that of shrimp about 8 billion, with increasing diversification in the recent past. With over 2.4 lakh fishing crafts operating in the coast, six major fishing harbours, 40 minor fishing harbours and 151 landing centres are functioning to cater to the needs of over 3.5 million fisher

folk.

India’s seafood industry has become one of the leading suppliers of quality seafood to all the major markets of the world. India has world class seafood processing plants that follow quality control regimes complaint to stringent

international regulatory requirements.

With the growing demand for Indian seafood products across the world, the dynamics of the seafood business in India is changing fast. There is a tremendous growth in the resources and infrastructure of the Indian seafood

industry today. India has an installed processing capacity of 18,520 M.T with 447 state-of-the-art processing plants, out of which 60% are European Union (EU) approved plants. Almost every plant has put in HACCP and quality

control system on par with the best in the world to ensure highest quality output. Units mostly exists in the small-scale sector as proprietary/partnership firms or fishermen cooperatives. Over the last decade, the organized corporate sector has become increasingly involved in

preservation, processing and export of coastal fish. More than 50 different types of fish and shellfish products are exported to 75 countries around the world.

Over 150 processing facilities have received European Union approval from

the existing 350 processing facilities in India. The factories are located in 20 clusters along the East and West Coast of India and we need to develop these clusters into international seafood processing hubs. With internationally recognized processing facilities, competitively priced skilled labour and raw

material, India is now on the fast track to produce and supply valued seafood products in convenience packs by adopting the latest technologies and by tapping the unexploited and under exploited fishery resources.

The conceptualization of the Seafood Park under the scheme of Mega Food

Park (MFP) is a step towards creation of an integrated food value chain. The proposed Seafood Park at Deras, Bhubaneswar is envisaged to provide excellent infrastructure for seafood processing sector along the value chain, especially for perishables like inland and marine products. This is aimed at

making seafood processing economically more viable and generate large employment opportunities, particularly in rural areas. The Scheme is designed to bring farmers/fishermen and retailers (market) together so as to ensure

maximization of value addition, minimize wastages and improve fishermen’s income.

Seafood Park is a cluster based approach to provide excellent infrastructure for seafood processing along the value chain from fishermen to exporter. It includes creation of basic infrastructure support to the fishermen,

transportation, logistics and processing facilities under one roof and linkages to domestic as well as international market.

The Seafood Park is based on the Hub and Spoke Model of infrastructure creation. It envisages to have a Central Processing Centre (CPC) at a central

location supported by Primary Processing Centers (PPCs) and Collection Centers (CCs) spread in the catchment area of around 100-200 kms radius. The CPC is aimed to be created in approximate 152.78 acres with 41 processing units and supported by 4PPC each of which will be supported by 2-

4 fish landing stations servicing as proximate Collection Centre (CC).

The Central processing Centre (CPC) is envisaged to have around 41 food processing units concentrated at one place, supported by Common Pre-

Processing Centers along with various other common facilities like Water Treatment Plant (WTP), Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP), Electric Substation, Generator, Cold Storage, Packaging unit, Block Ice Factory, Chitin, Chitosan to address the operational and environmental requirements of the individual

main processing units. All the units will be supported by basic road network, infrastructure and amenities like Administrative building, Laundry, Convenient stores, Dormitory etc.

The Primary Processing Centers (PPCs), fish landing station proximate

Collection Centers (CCs) are envisaged to have cleaning grading and sorting facilities, warehouses, pre-cooling chambers and cold chain connectivity. The average targeted investment in creation on the Mega Sea Food Park is Rs.

134.20 crore in addition to the costs. To bring in the efficiencies of private sector in the infrastructure creation and

to improve the realization to fishermen, it is envisaged that these parks will be built and operated by private entrepreneurs. However central government will help in form of monetary grant to establish common facilities along with basic enabling infrastructure. The scheme aims to capture the spirit of Public

Private Partnership (PPP) model by bringing together efficiencies of PPP model and private sector ownership and also ensures the upcoming facilities are based on market demand. For this purpose, a Special Purpose, a Special

Purpose Vehicle (SPV) will be created by the stakeholders to be registered under Companies Act, 1956. The SPV may comprise of various stakeholders from seafood processing industry, fishermen bodies/associations, state government agencies etc.

2.1 Project Objectives

The principal objective of the project will be to provide adequate

infrastructure for seafood processing industry along with the value chain from the fishing/harvesting to the market. This will enable fresh investments into the seafood processing sector, increased realization for fishermen and

employment generation.

The proposed Seafood Park at Odisha would facilities the qualitative and

quantitative development of the Seafood Processing industry in the state by way of meeting the following objectives:

• Integration of the supply chain to provide fishermen-market linkages that allow efficient flow of produce

• Showcase State’s potential and investment opportunities in the Marine product processing sector

• Demonstrate best management practices (benchmarked nationally and internationally)

• Highlight successful business models operating in India and globally

• Address supply chain and infrastructure-related issues in the State of Odisha for procurement of inland and aquaculture products

• Increase the income levels of fishermen by linking them with the demand side of the food chain and reducing the wastages

• Provide a platform for industry interaction and trade facilitation through year-round workshops, seminars and conferences inviting participation from foreign companies and domestic organizations and would aim to

• Provide traders/exporters with market intelligence and information • Train and update processors on international standards for processing

methodology

• Enhance customer relationships and provide forward linkages for future business

2.2 Global perspective

Fish is a highly traded commodity, with a third of global output by value traded across international borders. The growth of the global fish trade has

been substantial in recent decades, providing a rare food-trade success story for developing countries. Receipts from traditional exports of tropical agricultural products are increasingly being replaced by fish.

Developing countries export almost half of their fish and seafood production to developed nations, with the European Union, United States and Japan together taking 77% of global fish imports. In value terms, Thailand is the world’s leading fish-exporting country, and China, Taiwan, Indonesia and

South Korea are among the world’s top 10 fish exporters. Bangladesh, India, Philippines and Vietnam also export significant volumes of fish.

The global seafood industry comprises activities relating to the culturing, catching, preserving, processing, selling and distribution of fish or fishery products. The FAO estimates the industry to be worth about $400bn globally. Seafood is a significant contributor to the world’s food supply and an

important protein-providing food in terms of per capita consumption. Approximately 85% of the seafood produced globally is used for human consumption, while the remainder is converted into fishmeal and fish oil to

feed fish and livestock. Global human consumption of seafood has increased steadily over the last few years. It grew from 114.9 million tonnes in 2006 to 135.6 million tonnes in

Project Feasibility Report for Sea Food Park, Deras Village, Bhubaneswar,

Odhisha

Vimta Labs Limited, Hyderabad 7

2012, representing a CAGR of 2.8%. According to estimates by the OECD–FAO, consumption will reach 160.5 million tonnes by 2022, representing a

CAGR of 1.7% during 2012–2022. Asian countries account for the largest share of per capita seafood consumption. Demand in these countries is largely met through local production, with the exception of Japan, which is one of the

leading seafood-importing nations. In 2012, world per capita seafood consumption was 19.2 kg, and it is expected to rise to 20.6 kg by 2022. As per the OECD–FAO outlook, Korea and Japan (with per capita consumption of 61.5 kg and 55.3 kg, respectively, in 2022) are expected to remain the

highest seafood-consuming nations. Brazil, China, India and Australia are forecast to demonstrate the highest growth in per capita consumption of seafood during 2012–2022.

Global seafood production is characterized by an increased share of aquaculture products compared with products from commercial fishing. Total seafood production stood at 156.9 million tonnes in 2012 and posted a CAGR

of 2.2% during 2006–2012. China dominated production in 2012 with a 36.5% share of the total global production. Furthermore, China is expected to remain the largest seafood-producing nation with production forecast to post a CAGR of 1.8% during 2012–2022.

Overall, seafood demand is likely to surpass production in the future, primarily due to increasing human consumption.

2.3 Indian Seafood Industry

Indian fisheries and aquaculture has been emerged as an important allied

sector of Indian Agriculture in terms of food production since independence and thus, providing nutritional security to food basket, contributing to the agricultural exports and serving as a vital avenue for employment generation.

India’s position w.r.t global seafood industry:- (a) Seafood Growth Recorded 60.23 % in rupee terms during 2013-2014.

(b) 11th position in world seafood exports (c) 2nd largest fish producing nation with 90.40 lakh tonnes (d) 2nd largest supplier of shrimp to Japan (e) Top most supplier of shrimp to South-East Asia with a share of 39.90%.

(f) 3rd largest supplier of shrimp to USA (g) Top most supplier of Cephalopods (cattle fish, squids, octopus) to Europe (h) Ranked 3rd among the largest fish producing countries and occupies the

11th position among the seafood exporting countries of the world The year 2013-14 turned out to be the best one in the history of marine product exports from India with shipments closing in on the figure of Rs.

30,000 crores after having already clocked Rs.26,500 crores ($4.4 billion) by Feb, 2014. In 2013-14, seafood exports touched Rs. 18,856 crores ($3.5 billion). The marine product exports have shown a 40% rise in rupee terms.

Today, Indian seafood exports cover almost 103 world markets catering to diversified customer needs. Japan, USA and the European Union or Western

Project Feasibility Report for Sea Food Park, Deras Village, Bhubaneswar,

Odhisha

Vimta Labs Limited, Hyderabad 8

Europe are the major fish importers from India, which accounted for about 60-65% of the volume and about 70-75% in value of Indian seafood exports.

USA is the largest market (95,927MT) for frozen shrimps exports in quantity term followed by European Union (73,487 MT), South-East Asia (52,533MT)

and Japan (28,719MT). The statistics are for 2013-14. Strict quality regulations imposed by US and EU and commodity diversification with value added products led to geographic diversification and

market opportunities emerging in countries like Middle East, China and South East Asian countries. ASEAN is India’s 4th largest trading partner after EU, USA and China. The improved geographic concentration offer better

competitiveness for Indian seafood exports and opportunities to thrive under changed economic environment in buyer countries. With a coastline of over 8129 kms and 2.02 million sq. km of EEZ (Exclusive

Economic Zone), 28000 km of rivers and millions of hectares of reservoirs & brackish water, India has vast potential for fisheries from both inland and marine resources.

There has been a palpable decline in marine capture fisheries yet aquaculture holds the key for successful progress in seafood exports as a dependable source of raw material. The adaption of pacific white leg shrimp of lito

peneaus Vannamei has boosted the productivity & yield per ha. Vannamei yield of 10 mt per hectare against the average yield of 2.5 mt for the traditional specie of P. Monodon (black tiger), has enhanced the productivity level.

With the growing demand for Indian seafood products across the world, the dynamics of the seafood business in India is changing fast. There is a

tremendous growth in the resources and infrastructure of the Indian seafood industry today. India has an installed processing capacity of 18,520 M.T with 447 state-of-the-art processing plants, out of which 60% are European Union (EU) approved plants. Almost every plant has put in HACCP and Quality

control system on par with the best in the world to ensure highest quality output. Units mostly exist in the small-scale sector as proprietary/partnership firms or fishermen cooperatives. Over the last decade, the organized corporate sector has become increasingly involved in preservation, processing

and export of coastal fish. More than 50 different types of fish and shellfish products are exported to 75 countries around the world.

Over 150 processing facilities have received European Union approval from the existing 350 processing facilities in India. The factories are located in 20 clusters along the East and West Coast of India and we need to develop these clusters into international seafood processing hubs. With internationally

recognized processing facilities, competitively priced skilled labour and raw material, India is now on the fast track to produce and supply valued seafood products in convenience packs by adopting the latest technologies and by

tapping the unexploited and under exploited fishery resources.

2.4 Odisha: Coastal Zone favoring Marine Production

The State’s 480 km long coastline with 24,000 sq.km area within the continental shelf has huge potential for marine fisheries development. The freshwater resources of the State include about 10 lakh (1 million) ha area

under tanks and ponds, lakes and reservoirs, swamps and a network of rivers and canals, besides 32,587 ha of cultivable brackish area, 3 lakh ha of estuaries, brackish water and backwater area and 93,00 ha of Chilika lake.

Odisha is one of the major maritime States offering vast scopes for development of inland, brackish water and marine fisheries. The strength of the fisheries sector in Odisha lies in the large under/un-utilized freshwater

and brackish water resources. By judiciously harnessing these resources, the fish production from the capture and capture-cum-culture fisheries could be substantially augmented to meet the International & domestic market demands, create employment and income generating opportunities for the

rural poor and enhance their food and livelihood security.

2.6 Demand

Fish is a popular food item in Odisha. The State ranks ninth in terms of production and produced 4.7% of the total fish production at all India level during 2010-11. The per capita fish consumption in the State has increased

from 7.3 kg in 1999-00 to 9.13 kg during 2012-13 as against 11kg recommended by the WHO. The various factors driving the growth of seafood industry in Odisha are:-

(a) Higher disposable income: Continuous increase in per capita income has encouraged middle class to switch over to healthy and value added products.

In Odisha NSDP Capita (INR at current prices) has increased from Rs. 52,559 in 2013-14 to RS. 59,229 in 2014-15

(b) Shift in demographic profile: The increase in income is followed by shift of rural population towards urban areas. In Odisha, urban population in last 10 years has increased by 16.69%. Among working class population, demand of ready-to-eat and ready-to-serve food products has increased.

(c) Emergence of organized food retail: It is estimated that the total food and grocery retail space has grown at a CAGR of 6% over 2006-2011, with the

organized share estimated to increase from less than 1% currently to 6-6.5%. This has translated into more business opportunities for value added food products.

Project Feasibility Report for Sea Food Park, Deras Village, Bhubaneswar,

Odhisha

Vimta Labs Limited, Hyderabad 16

Considering the increasing spending on food items and demand for quality and processed food, infrastructure for processing, storage and distribution of

food items will be required.

Demand Estimation for the Industry

During the year 2002-03 and 2003-04 USA emerged as the single largest market for our marine products. During the year 2004-05, the European Union has collectively become the largest importer of Indian marine products

and it retained its position since 2005-06. During 2011-12 South East Asia became the largest buyer of Indian marine products with a share of 39.90 % in volume and 25.09 % in US $ realization. European Union (EU) got into the

second place with a share of 22.96% followed by USA 18.17%, Japan 13.01%, China 7.51%, Middle East 5.33% and Other Countries by 7.95%. Export Trend:-

The export of marine products has steadily grown over the years - from a mere Rs.3.92 crore in 1961-62 to Rs. 16597.23 crore in 2011-12. Domestic Demand:-

Domestic fish market in India is growing at the rate of 30 percent and so the prices of Indian seafood are on the rise. The demand, which was largely metro-centric only a few years ago, is now spreading to tier-II and tier-III

cities. This sudden spurt in demand is pushing up prices.

2.7 Employment Generation ( Direct and Indirect) due to the Project

The proposed park will generate direct employment opportunities for 20,500 people and indirect employment opportunities for 2000 people to meet the

manpower requirement to run various operations at CPC and the PPCs. In addition, around 2,80,050 indirect jobs shall be created in the region by way of involvement of people across the supply chain.

3.0 Cluster Profile

A cluster has been identified for establishment of the Seafood Park with initiative step taken by Govt. of Odisha through IDCO after allocation for

152.78 acres land at Deras for the proposed park. The geographical limit of the cluster has been delineated based on availability of marine and inland products, availability of land with scope for future expansion, availability of utilities (water, power etc.) for industry operations. Also comparative

advantages like proximity of ports to explore the options for export, marketing opportunities, scope for intensification and productivity improvement have been taken into consideration. Establishment of the cluster,

comprising of the individual units supported by various common facilities for pre-processing, cold storage, packing etc. under one roof, will lead to economic development of the area with facilitating employment opportunities for the region- both in direct and indirect form.

As per the structure envisaged for the Mega Food Park, decentralized clusters are to be identified for sourcing the primary produce and setting up the backwater linkage mechanism. The Central Processing Center is proposed to

be located at Deras in Khurda district in Odisha. Focus districts of the cluster, where Primary Processing Centers and Collection Centers will be established, are Balasore, Cuttack, Ganjam, Khurda, Puri, Bhadhark. The structure would

look like as follows:-

The brackish water resources of the State are confined to 7 coastal districts that includes Balasore, Bhadhark, Kendrapara, Jagatsinghpur, Puri, Ganjm,

Khurda. Brackish water resources suitable for shrimp forming are the extensive plain brackish water lands, swampy areas in Mahanadi, Dharma and other estuaries of the state and large number of brackish water

impoundments and low lying saline areas located in the inter-tidal zones. In Odisha shrimp farm development in coastal villages has witnessed a suitable growth during the last 15 years.

As per the structure envisaged for the Seafood Park, the cluster will be developed at Deras, in the outskirts of Bhubaneswar covering an area of

152.78 acres. The proposed park site will be approached from Khurda Chandaka by pass road. The total distance from the projected site to National Highway is about 1.5 km (up to entrance gate).

This park will help in overcoming of various operational bottle necks like:-

(a) Limited capacity for pre-processing facility (b) Inadequate work force (c) Inadequate supply of ice & water (d) Inadequate freezing provisions (e) Lack of logistic support (f) Low voltage (g) Inadequate storage facility for finished products (h) Limited infrastructure provisions

3.1 Criteria for selection of Cluster

The proposed cluster has been identified considering the land availability of

the promoters along with facilities for sources for utilities like water, power etc., availability of raw material for each individual units (main processing units), export potential for various finished products like Frozen block shrimps,

Frozen iqf shrimp, Cooked or blanched iqf shrimps, Frozen blast fish/shrimps.

CPC would be located in the center of the cluster in order to facilitate food processing across the cluster. PPCs have been identified on the basis of

decentralized production and consumption scenario across the State as well as Cluster. Four PPCs have been proposed in the districts of Balasore, Cuttack, Ganjam, Bhadhrak. In addition, mobile collection centers (Reefer vans &

normal vans) have been proposed at major fish landing stations, viz, Kasafal, Kansabansa, Balipatna, Talchua, Jampoo, Badapadia, Bada Arjipally,

3.6 Strategy for Backward linkage

The promoters fully realize the important of establishing backward linkage link in the supply chain. Promoting market driven fishing is the approach which will be driving the strategy for backward linkage. At the same time, we understand that the backward linkage cannot be established overnight. The

need is to engage the fishermen right from the conception of the plan. Strategy is to engage fisherman groups and large fishermen to produce raw material. Existing backward Linkages Promoters will enter into tie ups with

large fishermen in catchments area with their individual capacity or collectively.

5.0 Planning Brief

5.1 Planning Concept

The total site area is 152.78 acres and the entire area is proposed for setting

up of the Seafood Park.

The concept of the proposed Seafood Park is derived based on the requirements of the entrepreneurs, functionality with self-contained common

facilities. The concept is to provide and maintain maximum and continuous access to all the components of the Park. The design envisages functional and accessible work places by incorporating prudent and scientific planning

principles. The master plan has been conceptualized considering the opportunities and constraints of the site.

The concept is guided by the applicable development guidelines under

Bhubaneswar Development Authority Regulations - 2008. The design philosophy revolves around prioritizing various aspects viz., circulation, land suitability, environmental sustainability and topography to optimize various land uses. The Master Plan also complies with the guidelines issued by

Directorate of Town and Country Planning, GoO as well as the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF).

The master plan is based on modern planning concepts of providing good and efficient internal movement with supporting infrastructure and facilities. Provisions of National Building Code and prudent engineering practice have been followed in preparing the Master Plan.

Integration of aesthetics, environmental concerns, functional requirements and technological innovation with various attributes of planning like land use

distribution, zoning, transportation, infrastructure, design, building guidelines & regulations were given due consideration. The interdependence and at the same time, individuality, of the units was also kept in focus.

The planning of the Park has been kept flexible so as to be adaptive to the rapidly evolving business landscape. The Master Plan allows programmed or functional re-arrangement and re-distribution of plot sizes, infrastructure network and open space distribution etc.

The Master Plan follows the zoning concept for meeting the statutory norms of planning, to minimise the impact of pollution if any on resident population in

and around the Park and to attain the economics of design by consolidating scarce and costly resources for shared access.

Common facilities have been planned for ease of access to the users of the

Park. Another guiding principle of the Master Plan is to incorporate the principles of eco-industrial Park by maximizing green and open spaces, and provision of green belts. The design envisages functional road design and

simplified accessibility through green spaces to work places.

The green space envisaged for the Park would include: • Large open spaces for maintaining the green cover

Odhisha

Vimta Labs Limited, Hyderabad 24

• Small Quality green spaces for recreation • Linear plantations to provide relief during movement

• Small aesthetic greens for forming vistas etc 5.2 Overview of Master Plan

The Master planning exercise aimed at demarcating the boundaries of the industrial plots, ascertaining location and level of infrastructure (utilities and amenities) and determining the inter and intra circulation that has been

carried out pursuant to detailed analysis of the site, assessment of immediate surroundings and understanding the requirement of various vectors of the seafood processing industry that are proposed within the park.

The master plan has been prepared for an area of 152.78 acres that is under the possession of IDCO only.

5.5 Amenities/Facilities

5.5.1 Core-Processing Facilities at CPC

The various common core-processing facilities being proposed for the park are:-

Cold Storage

(a) Overview - Common cold storage of 2000 MT with a capacity of about

2,30,000 cartons capacity shall be provided in park. It will be developed

with expandable multi chamber to meet to the periodic requirements. A separate approval shall be acquired from EIC so that it can have multiple uses for other trades also when seafood season is at lowest. A provision of about 10,000 cartons per units is estimated so that during peak season

it would supplement the existing facilities of individual units. Off season the cold store can still cater to growing needs of other industries like ice cream, fruits, and other perishable items in retail chain. The IQF products

would be stored in pallets to minimise the damage to cartons. The location of the cold store shall be placed with accessibility to Seafood Park and outsiders along with sufficient for multiple loading decks and vehicle parking.

(b) Design Aspects –

(i) Configuration – Multi chamber cold storage having multiple chambers with

each chamber entailing anterooms, docking area, grading/ sorting area, crates/ palletized storage system.

(ii) Construction guidelines –

• Floor would comprise of base concrete that will be 30 cm high from ground level

• The cold rooms should be provided with at least one common ante room to avoid direct infiltration of warm ambient air in to the cold rooms

• The process grading and sorting area should be maintained at

comfortable conditions by using evaporative cooling particularly in dry environment. In high humidity condition, air-conditioning with humidifier control to maintain the required temperature can be

provided. Dock shelters can be provided in the dispatch areas of the pre-cooled or chilled product.

• Rodent proof civil structure and proper drainage of water is to be

ensured.

(iii) Thermal insulation – Cold chambers have to be insulated on walls,

ceilings/ roofs and floors with proper insulating material of adequate thickness

with provisions for vapour barrier on outer side and proper cladding or cover on inner side. The commonly used insulation materials are expanded

polystyrene, rigid polyurethane foam, rigid phenolic foam, mineral wool/ glass wool, extruded polystyrene.

(iv) Refrigeration – Designing of a cold store and choosing suitable cooling system elements are important for effective cooling and creating suitable storage conditions for various commodities to be stored. The load of the heat consists of the transmission heat, infiltration heat, product heat, other heat

sources for calculation of the cooling load. The specific heat load and capacity of the evaporator, amount of the cooling gas, specific heat load of condenser and capacity of condenser, pressure heat, power of the compressor, cooling

effect must be calculated for choosing the cooling element.

Packaging Unit

A master carton and inner carton factory with automatic cutting and stitching

shall be developed within the part that will serve as a supporting unit to the individual processing units.

The various machinery arrangements for this unit shall be corrugated machines, pasting machines, sheet pressing machines, auto sheet cutter, stitching machines.

The production capacity envisaged for master carton unit is 20,000 nos and that for inner carton unit is 1,20,000 nos.

Odhisha

Vimta Labs Limited, Hyderabad 30

5.5.2 Pre –Processing Units

Under the EIC guidelines the pre-processing unit needs to be integrated to

main processing area. Yet there shall be a provision where raw material can be pre-processed in a detached Common Pre Processing Centre (CPC) where provisions comply with the EIC norms.

However CPC needs to be developed to separate units and each unit needs to be dedicated to particular processor. The merchant exporters of the same processing unit can be eligible to the same facilities. Each processing unit with

capacity of 10MT or above can have 3 merchant exporters.

Pre-processing activity is a crucial cog in the entire gamut of processing

activity. 10 units each of 300sq.m of CPC within main CPC area will be developed.

It shall be located closer to ETP for the ease of discharge of the effluents.

The flow of activities to be undertaken in each of the pre-processing units is:-

(a) Unloading and thawing

(b) Washing and grading (c) Skinning and scaling (d) Be-heading

(e) Filleting

5.5.3 Common Non-Core Processing Facilities at CPC

The various non-core processing facilities at CPC in Dears are:-

Laundry

As per EIC norms the workers inside a processing unit need to work in a company provided clean and hygienic dress. They change from the “street clothes” to company dress in change room, sanitize themselves and enter into

processing area’s the dress used by worker’s need to be cleaned on daily basic before being re-used again.

This system is to prevent cross contamination of food. Gloves, mouth wear, head gear and aprons constitute the total wearing uniform.

A public lawn dry with automated working and drying machines for about

3000 dresses per day shall be provided. Laundry shall be located close to the dormitory.

Administration Building

The administrative building shall be designed to have working place for all units. Also there would be 3-4 guest rooms for visitors who come to

processing units particularly for quality checks.

building. Also as workers are exposed to cold and wet conditions and various physical activities, it is imperative that each working staff in seafood unit to

be medically fit and this is to be certified by medical practitioner.

Bank extension counter: The provision for a bank extension is envisaged to

facilitate bank transaction, factory running expenses and staff salary activities. It will appropriately substitute to cash transaction which is regular feature of the trade and mitigates the risk of cash transfers from main branch to premises.

Skill Development and Training Centre: The seafood trade today also suffers from acute shortage of skilled and unskilled labour. Institutions like NETFISH,

under MPEDA undertake various awareness camps and training programmes to update workers with latest techniques and food safety norms. Also technical staffs, process supervisors are trained for improvements of quality standards and food safety. Thus a training centre has been intended inside

the administrative building.

Convenient Store: A convenient store can be developed in the annex building to meet the daily requirement of workers and also monthly ration, medical,

personal needs etc. A whole sale outlet can cater the needs of inmates.

Besides the above, the Annex building will also entail the canteen and

recreational facilities to cater to the food and recreational requirements of the work force inside the park.

Dormitory

Separate workers dormitory for male and female is being provisioned for housing at least 800 people.

Different dormitories for male and female workers are envisages with proper consideration on safety aspects.

A provision for male rest room during lunch and tea break has been made in boy’s dormitory.

Dormitory is envisaged to be provided nearby the water body to create some

recreational environment for the inmates of the dormitory. 5.5.4 Individual Units at CPC

These individual units can be utilised for main processing and pre-processing activities and sufficient space for vehicle manoeuvring and other operational activities.

5.5.6 Marketing Strategy

The industrial set up of any business firm mainly depends on the marketing

linkages it establishes for both product marketing and raw material sourcing. Keeping this in view, the proposed Seafood Park in Odisha will be an integration of both forward and backward market linkages.

The marketing strategy of the Seafood Park would focus on the advantages that the project would provide while also focusing on the location advantages and strengths and opportunities that the SPV partners bring into the project.

In the proposed park 41 units will be used by the individual exporters for setting up various seafood processing industries with a gamut of product profile for frozen block shrimps, frozen IQF shrimps, cooked or blanched IQF shrimps, frozen blast fish/ shrimps.

The marketing strategy would be focused on two distinct stakeholders namely:

• Potential seafood processors/ exporters who could become tenants in the park and set up processing units.

• Shrimp Farmers, Fishermen and Traders to promote utilization of common

processing, storage and other facilities provided by the Seafood Park • State and Central government and other relevant organizations for

facilitation of the support from State and Central government that is

required during project implementation and operational phase

The proposed activities under this marketing campaign include:

• Multiple meetings with fishermen associations/ trader associations

Project Feasibility Report for Sea Food Park, Deras Village, Bhubaneswar,

Odhisha

Vimta Labs Limited, Hyderabad 40

• Shrimp Farmer and Fishermen training programs would be conducted to expose them to the requirements of processors and adopt new varieties

and cultivation practices to suit the need of processing units • A general awareness campaign among public sector and private sector

players in shrimp farming and fishing related extension services would be

carried out to reach maximum number of farmers • Paper advertisements and investor meetings to promote the project • Vendor meetings of associated organized retail firms • Meetings with industry associations and distribution of promotion material

to various processors • Advertisements in local news papers in the regional language. • Village level shrimp farmer and fishermen meetings would be conducted to

create awareness and promote the use of facilities provided by the project.

5.5.7 Proposed Backward Integration

The proposed Seafood Park will make all the possible efforts to establish strong backward linkages to ensure viability and round the year availability of raw material at the Seafood Park. These linkages will help in attracting seafood processing units in the CPC and are also crucial to achieve economies

of scale . The various proposed channels for raw material supply are:-

Direct Supplies by Shrimp Farmers/Hatcheries/Fishermen/Society

As the Seafood Park is targeted to be operational round the year the linkage

shall be extended to a sustainable long term supply of raw material. It is proposed that the SPV shall enter into contractual arrangements with interested individual farmers, farmer groups, and societies to provide them

the facilities to supply the raw material directly to the park. Association with Service Providers

Association with service providing and complementing entities logistics providers etc. can be made to leverage and strengthen the linkages established by them for procuring raw materials.

(a) Waste Content details

Similar to most food industries, fish and fishery product processing operations

produce waste in both solid and liquid form. Solid waste includes fish carcasses, viscera, skin, heads and liquid variety includes washing and cleaning water discharge, blood water from drained fish storage tanks, brine etc. This waste

need to be stored so as to prevent the contamination to the processing environment, and should be disposed of in a manner that is not detrimental to the receiving environment. The magnitude of the problem of waste management in the fish industry depends on the waste volume, its polluting charge, rate of

discharge and the assimilatory capacity of the receiving medium.

Designing appropriate measures to dispose of liquid waste from fish processing

operations requires assessment. This is done through the evaluation of various physicochemical and biological parameters of which the most important ones are: solid content, pH, temperature, odour, organic matter, biochemical oxygen

Odhisha

Vimta Labs Limited, Hyderabad 47

demand or BOD, chemical oxygen demand or COD, oil and grease content, nitrogen and phosphorous content.

Primary treatments include operations designed to remove floatable and settling solids. They include screening, sedimentation, and flotation to remove oil and

grease and other suspended solids.

Secondary treatments comprise biological and physicochemical treatments. In biological treatments, the organic polluting matter is degraded by micro-

organisms, which metabolise it into energy and biomass. These microorganisms can be aerobic or anaerobic. The most used aerobic processes are activated sludge system, aerated lagoons, trickling filters or bacterial beds and the rotating

biological contractors. In anaerobic processes, the anaerobic microorganisms digest the organic matter in tanks to produce gases (mainly methane and CO2) and biomass.

In the physicochemical treatments, also called coagulation-flocculation, a chemical substance is added to the effluent to reduce the surface charges responsible for particle repulsions in a colloidal suspension, thus reducing the forces that keep its particles apart. This reduction in charge causes flocculation

(agglomeration) and particles of larger sizes are settled and clarified effluent is obtained.

The sludge produced by primary and secondary treatments is further processed in digesting tanks through anaerobic processes or sprayed over land as a fertilizer. In the latter case, care must be exercised to ensure that the sludge is freed of its pathogens.

(b) Process of Solid waste management

Removal of head from body mass - 30 % to 34 % of total body mass. (headless) Removal of total shell and peeled off - almost 50 -55 %. For certain species it goes up 65%. (pud /pd ).

Fish items are normally processed whole and blast frozen. However Spanish Mackerel or seer fish is head on gutted where viscera portion are removed and there is blood loss. The total loss of viscera and blood can be between 12% to 16% depending upon the size of fish.

The normal procedure is in the Pre-processing centres primarily the above activities take place. The processing workers pick up the waste from individual

workers and put it into crates. These crates are emptied into black poly bags and the bag tied at the neck. Similar bags are stacked inside the waste disposal room a provision inside pre-processing area. Periodically these bags are carried by covered van and dumped at municipality yards. Where excess land is

available within own control, huge pits are dug and the contents put into it and then covered with earth. As biodegradable it gets converted into manure after some days.

Apart from shrimps , other waste are consumables like chemical containers, paint boxes, used spare parts of machinery, broken glasses and similar things and are disposed off as scrap and into municipalty bins as volumes are low. Oil

and grease susbstance in drains are normally found in outer drains and sent into a pit where it floats on water and manually removed. Its below 1 % as

contaminant. Running to full capacity, the estimated solid waste generated from shrimps and fish items can be upto 45 % average of production ie about 200 mt. it would

require about 15 trips of 15 mt trucks each day to remove. 6.7 Substation and electrical distribution system

8.0 Analysis of Proposal ( Final Recommendations)

The Seafood Park at Deras, Odisha will provide the required impulsion to the region to enable it to emerge as a major processing hub for fish and fishery products. It will

be first of its kind large project in seafood processing sector in the State where entire gamut of seafood processing activities can be undertaken. The Park, proposed to be set up in line with a typical industrial park model, will be the most preferred destination for setting up processing facility for three major reasons inter alia:

• Availability of developed plots with sizes to suit the need of the investor • Availability of basic enabling infrastructure like road, water, power etc

• Availability of enabling core processing infrastructure such as pre-processing centers, storage facility, block ice plant, packaging units and so on.

The proposed Seafood Park is the result of professional commitment to set up

seafood processing infrastructure to meet the growing demands from domestic consumption and export of quality seafood products. During the later stage of implementation of this project, it aims to connect all stakeholders from fishermen to consumer in this Public Private Partnership model. Key focus of the project thus

would be implementing the project in a timely manner and deliver to the growing consumption market, both at national and international level. This seafood park envisages to attract large and medium players from the seafood processing

industries from all over the world and also to provide infrastructural support to the MSME units of the sector in the State to leverage on the common facilities being envisioned for the park.

Major expected outcome by establishment of the proposed park will include increased realization for fishermen/ growers, creation of high quality processing infrastructure, reduction in wastage, capacity building of the producers and

processors and creation of an efficient supply chain along with significant direct and indirect employment generation. The project, once completed, shall be in a position to mobilize investments to the

tune of Rs.500-500 crore by way of investments by prospective units in the Park. The existing policy framework and incentives offered by State for Food Processing sector and for marine sector will accelerate the process of mobilizing investments for the Park.

The project would play a vital role in changing the seafood processing landscape in the region at large and the State as a whole. The level of investments and envisaged

leverage thereon would have visible impact in redefining the existing socio-economic structure.
