Entrepreneurship can help drive economic growth by exploiting opportunities and bringing new products and services to society. Manipur is rich in natural resources like agricultural and horticultural products, but technology for processing and preserving these resources to add value remains underdeveloped. Empowering local populations to produce value-added food products could have economic and health benefits for growers and residents while generating employment. However, challenges like improving secondary and tertiary food processing, adopting new technologies and equipment, supply chain management, networking between industries and research, and developing workforce skills must be addressed. Entrepreneurs and start-ups can play a role in solving these problems by bringing new food processing opportunities to Manipur.

Economic growth is largely the outcome of entrepreneurial initiative. Entrepreneurs
exploit opportunities, convert ideas into viable business plan, provide new products and services to the society by bringing together and combining various factors of production, and help alter life style of the people. Entrepreneurs are seen as creators of businesses, which in turn, produce income and output and generate employments. Manipur among the eight North Eastern States of India is rich in natural resources including Agri-horticultural products – naturally organic produce. However, the technology of processing and preservation for value addition of these agro resources still remains in low level of operations. Empowering the local population to produce the value added products – production by the masses will have positive impact in these regions in terms of economic benefit by the growers, health benefits by the population and employment generation. However, the major constraints that need to be addressed for sustainable food processing industries are improved secondary and tertiary food processing; adopting appropriate technologies, advanced equipment and innovative product development at the industry level; planning of logistics; networking between industries and R&D Institutes and employing qualified and highly skilled manpower, etc. Entrepreneurs and start-ups can play responsible roles to address these problems. The presentation will provide the entrepreneurial opportunities in food processing sectors for the benefit of new-entrepreneurs or start-ups in the state.
