 The Project M/s Shri * Pvt Ltd is a private limited company incorporated in Andhra Pradesh, India promoted by Mr. *2010. The promoters who have extensive experience in the Trading of Oil and Food Products have conceived the idea of encashing their trading experience and going in for Food Processing industry. The company is proposing to setup a Wheat Flour Mill of 120 Tons per day capacity along with a Atta Chakki Plant of 30 Tons per day processing unit at Survey No, * just about 10 Kms from Hyderabad.

The unit proposes to produce Wheat Products such as Atta, Maida, Chakki Atta, Ravva and Bran ( By product ) of 150 Tons per day ( 120 + 30 ) to cater to the needs of Whole Sale and Retail needs of South Indian Wheat Market. The required raw material is basically Wheat which is available in plenty from various parts of northern and western parts of India.

Processed wheat products are staple food items in India .Consumption and Demand for the products proposed for manufacturing by the company, is ever on increase due to increase in population, increase in per capita consumption owing to various factors such as rise in disposable income, increasing value of time, increasing demand for improved quality standard and hygiene of the products and non-economics of small-scale chakkis in wheat segment.

The Company has obtained on long lease, 2_Acres of industrial land in Nadigama Village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak district, for implementation of the Project. The land has been converted from agricultural area and is to be developed for setting up the production facilities

The total Investment of the project is estimated at Rs 578.00 Lacs which is proposed to be financed by the promoters as well as term loan from Banks in 1 : 1.54 ratio.

(a) What is Maida?

Maida flour is finely-milled wheat flour variety which is used to make Indian breads such as paratha and naan. It is also used in Central Asian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Maida is a refined product of wheat. It is extracted from the inner white portion of the wheat after the outer brownish layer is removed. After the flour is ground in a flour mill, it is passed through a fine mesh (600 mesh per square inch) to obtain maida. Though sometimes referred to as "all-purpose flour" by Indian chefs, it more closely resembles cake flour or even pure starch. In India, maida flour is used to make pastries and other bakery items such as bread, biscuits and toast. Pastry flours available in United States may be used as a substitute for maida.

(b) What is Atta

Atta is the main ingredient of most varieties of Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani bread. It is a whole wheat-flour made from hard wheat grown across the Indian subcontinent. Flatbread made from atta, such as chapati, roti, naan and puri, are an integral part of Indian cuisine. Hard wheats have a high content of gluten (a protein composite that gives elasticity), as such, doughs made out of atta flour are strong and can be rolled out very thin. Atta is obtained from grinding complete wheat grains. It is creamy brown in colour and quite coarse compared to other types of flour. Since nothing is removed from true whole meal atta, all the constituents of the wheat grain are preserved. Atta available in market varies in its fibre content from very low to whole of natural fiber in wheat, around 12%.

(c) What is Ravva ? Husk removed wheat is ground to form rava, and used extensively in south Indian cuisine, such as in Karnataka and Tamilnadu, to make Rava dosa, Rava idli, upma, khichdi, and also sweets like Rava Ladoo and Rava halwa also known as Rava Kesari. There is another form of rava known as Chamba Rava, which is an extract of wheat flour. As this "Rava" is an extract of maida flour it is much finer. Rava may be described as the residues of milled material, after the flour is ground in a flour mill (Chakki). It is passed through a fine mesh till flour and rava are separated. Bombay Rava is used in Southern parts of India to make delicious dish called upma. It is also used as an additive in some Dosa items, especially the Rava Dosa. (d) What is Chakki atta ?

Atta is obtained from grinding complete wheat grains. It is creamy brown in color and quite coarse compared to other types of flour. Since nothing is removed from true whole meal atta, all the constituents of the wheat grain are preserved. Atta available in market varies in its fibre content from very low to whole of natural fibre in wheat, around 12%. Traditionally, atta is made by stone grinding, a process that imparts a characteristic aroma and taste to the bread. High bran content of true whole meal atta makes it a fiber-rich food. This may help to regulate blood sugar as well have other health benefits. The temperatures attained in a chakki produced by friction, are of the order of 110-125 deg C. At such high temperatures, the carotenes present in the bran tend to exude the characteristic roasty smell, and contribute to the sweetness of the atta. The various quality control parameters for the atta industry are Ash Content, Moisture Content, (f) What is Bran? Bran is the hard outer layer of grain and consists of combined aleurone and pericarp. Along with germ, it is an integral part of whole grains, and is often produced as a by-product of milling in the production of refined grains. When bran is removed from grains, the latter lose a portion of their nutritional value. Bran is present in and may be milled from any cereal grain, including rice, corn (maize), wheat, oats, barley and millet. Bran should not be confused with chaff, which is coarser scaly material surrounding the grain, but not forming part of the grain itself. Wheat bran is fed to horses in the form of a warm porridge or mash. Bran mash is considered an excellent way to get the horse to drink more water. It is also indicated for its laxative qualities. Bran is widely used as a major component in foods for cows, buffaloes, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, etc. Bran is particularly rich in dietary fiber and essential fatty acids and contains significant quantities of starch, protein, vitamins and dietary minerals. Bran is often used to enrich breads (notably muffins) and breakfast cereals, especially for the benefit of those wishing to increase their intake of dietary fiber. Bran may also be used for pickling (nukazuke) as in the tsukemono of Japan. In Romania, fermented wheat bran is usually used when preparing sour soups, called borscht.

Wheat & Wheat Products– The Staple Food:

• Wheat (Triticum spp) is a grass, originally from the Fertile Crescent region of the Near East, but now cultivated worldwide. In 2007 world production of wheat was 607 million tons, making it the third most-produced cereal after maize (784 million tons) and rice (651 million tons).

• Globally, wheat is the leading source of vegetable protein in human food, having a higher protein content than either maize (corn) or rice, the other major cereals. In terms of total production tonnages used for food, it is currently second to rice as the main human food crop, and ahead of maize, after allowing for maize's more extensive use in animal feeds.

• Wheat was a key factor enabling the emergence of city-based societies at the start of civilization because it was one of the first crops that could be easily cultivated on a large scale, and had the additional advantage of yielding a harvest that provides long-term storage of food.

• Wheat grain is a staple food used to make flour for leavened, flat and steamed breads, biscuits, cookies, cakes, breakfast cereal, pasta, noodles, and couscous and for fermentation to make beer, other alcoholic beverages, or bio fuel. Wheat is planted to a limited extent as a forage crop for livestock, and its straw can be used as a construction material for roofing thatch. The husk of the grain, separated when milling white flour, is bran.

• Wheat germ is the embryo portion of the wheat kernel. It is a concentrated source of vitamins, minerals, and protein, and is sustained by the larger, starch storage region of the kernel—the endosperm.

• Raw wheat can be ground into flour or - using hard durum wheat only, can be ground into semolina; germinated and dried creating malt; crushed or cut into cracked wheat; parboiled (or steamed), dried, crushed and de-branned into bulgur also known as groats.

• If the raw wheat is broken into parts at the mill, as is usually done, the outer husk or bran can be used several ways. Wheat is a major ingredient in such foods as bread, porridge, crackers, biscuits, Muesli, pancakes, pies, pastries, cakes, cookies, muffins, rolls, doughnuts, gravy, boza (a fermented beverage), and breakfast cereals (e.g., Wheatena, Cream of Wheat, Shredded Wheat, and Wheaties).

• 100 grams of hard red winter wheat contain about 12.6 grams of protein, 1.5 grams of total fat, 71 grams of carbohydrate (by difference), 12.2 grams of dietary fiber, and 3.2 mg of iron (17% of the daily requirement); the same weight of hard red spring wheat contains about 15.4 grams of protein, 1.9 grams of total fat, 68 grams of carbohydrate (by difference), 12.2 grams of dietary fiber, and 3.6 mg of iron (20% of the daily requirement).

• Much of the carbohydrate fraction of wheat is starch. Wheat starch is an important commercial product of wheat, but second in economic value to wheat gluten. The principal parts of wheat flour are gluten and starch. These can be separated in a kind of home experiment, by mixing flour and water to form a small ball of dough, and kneading it gently

Matrix Consulting_ 101, Durga apartments, Rajbhavan Road, Hyderabad 0 9989 040404               7  

while rinsing it in a bowl of water. The starch falls out of the dough and sinks to the bottom of the bowl, leaving behind a ball of gluten.

Background of Wheat in India

Wheat is a major food staple in India, and is crucial to India’s food economy and security. With wheat production of 75 to 85 million tons annually and a large demand, India’s wheat economy is now the second largest in the world. The marketed surplus from the production has also been rising and it is estimated that about 60-70 percent of the production now comes to the market (India, Directorate of Economic and Statistics 2010).

• Maida and Atta are required for daily human consumption directly, or indirectly by way of bread, biscuits, sweets, cakes, confectioneries etc. However bran is the byproduct produced in the process of manufacturing wheat products is used for making cattle feed.

• Major portion of atta is used for making Roti, part of daily staple diet in India. A part of atta is also used for biscuits.

• Maida is mainly used for bread, biscuit, cakes, cookies sweets, confectionaries etc. and Bread is popular snack food for lower middle-income group name as ‘Pav’. Premium range of the bread is popular breakfast item among middle and upper income group in urban areas

• Suji is used for daily human consumption in various forms and specially used for infant foods

The processing of Wheat is done through running wheat in a roller system and the technology is very conventional and time tested. Details of the processing together with a flow chart are available else where in this report.  Market for Wheat Products: The Food Processing Industry:

India is the world's second largest producer of food next to China, and has the potential of being the biggest with the food and agricultural sector. The processing food segment accounts for USD 29.4 billion, in a total estimated food market of about USD 91.7 billion. The food processing industry is one of the largest industries in India. It currently ranks fifth in terms of production, consumption, export and growth prospects.

The Government of India has identified the Food Processing Industry sector as a high priority area. It has given a number of fiscal reliefs and incentives to encourage commercialization and value addition to agricultural produce. As per a study conducted by McKinsey and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), the turnover of the total food market is approximately USD 69.4 billion out of which value-added food products comprise USD 22.2 billion.

The total food production in India is likely to double in the next ten years and there is an opportunity for large investments in food and food processing technologies, skills and equipment. Godrej Foods, Reliance, Namdhari, ITC, Nestle, Ruchi Soya Industries, Tata Coffee, Tata Tea, RPG group, Subhiksha are major players. The Indian food processing industry is primarily export oriented. India’s geographical situation gives it the unique advantage of connectivity to Europe, the Middle East, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia and Korea. One such example indicating India’s location advantage is the value of trade in agriculture and processed food between India and Gulf region.

Macro-Scene- Wheat Products:

Wheat is a cereal grain grown and consumed worldwide. Wheat is more popular than any other cereal grain use in baked goods. Its popularity stems from the gluten that forms when flour is mixed with water. Without gluten, raised bread is hard to imagine. Wheat is also preferred because of its mild, nutty flavor. Both the factors account for wheat being the most widely grown cereal grain in the world. Today, thousands of varieties of wheat are grown throughout the world, most requiring fertile soil and a temperate climate. Major wheat growing countries include China, India, France, and Russia. Recent projections by the International Food Policy research Institute (IFPRI) indicate that, by 2020, two-thirds of the world’s wheat consumption will occur in developing countries, where wheat imports are estimated to double by 2020.

As noted earlier in this report, wheat demand worldwide is calculated to rise by 40% from 1993 to 2020 to reach 775 million tons. The expected increase in demand is partly motivated by population growth but also results from substitution out of rice and coarse grain cereals as incomes rise and populations become increasingly based in urban areas. (Source: Multi Commodity Exchange of India Limited) .

Growth in packaged Atta industry is driven by four factors viz. (i) Rise in disposable income, (ii) Value of Time, (iii) Demand for improved quality and hygiene and (iv) Economic / Non Economy of small scale Chakkis. However, the current position of wheat availability is very comfortable and this is reflected by overflowing wheat stocks with the Food Corporation of India Therefore, with the easy availability of wheat for the next few years, increasing urbanization, and rising income levels, the demand for the flour milling industry is expected to grow rapidly in the future.

• The size of the Indian urban food market is estimated at Rs 350,000 Crore. The domestic market for processed food is huge and fast growing. The retail boom will create a huge demand for the food-processing sector in the coming years. Little wonder that 2007 has been designated the Year of Food Technology.

• The private sector is yet to realize its full potential in the food-retailing sector, as the market is still to explore. Though, it has now started discovering the money there is to be made in the urban food retailing market. Urban centers have the potential of development process. But they do not produce food as they lack agricultural land; on contrary the rural areas do. In that sense, the urban areas provide an assured market for the food produced by farmers. The urban food marketing system thus assumes considerable importance for both feeding the urban population and helping farmers.

• There are certain distinct characteristics of urban food demand. The urban population generally has a higher purchasing power. The rising average income is leading to greater demand for high-value processed food. A considerable number of urban women work, creating a demand for heat-and-serve foods.

• The urban population density is high and this demands a chain or a network of retail outlets. Indian food retailing is poised for a quantum leap. Not only are newer names set to dot the retail landscape but also such new formats, as hyper-and super-markets are to emerge.

• The key drivers for increased demand in value-added processed food products are: a) growth in consumer class; b) change in lifestyle characterized by expanding urban population, increased number of nuclear and dual-income families; c) change in attitudes and tastes with increasing modernization and to a lesser extent westernization of tastes,particularly, of the youth; d) low penetration rates; and e) ability to offset seasonal supply-and-demand effects in fresh products.

Matrix Consulting_ 101, Durga apartments, Rajbhavan Road, Hyderabad 0 9989 040404               10  

(G) Plant and Machinery & Process Technology:

Total cost of machinery is estimated, at Rs.232 lac’s based on quotations received from various vendors, details of which are as under:

a) Cleaning (Preparatory) Section: Wheat procured, contains many impurities like sand, metal pieces, dirt and gunny pieces. The process of the cleaning is primary sieving for the removal of large size impurities, brushing for removal of dust attached to the surface of grain, removal of metal impurities. The machinery required for the cleaning section mainly consist of drum sieve, classifier, magnets separator etc. Cleaned wheat is stored in silos for conditioning before milling.

b) Milling Section: The three major parts of wheat are Bran, Germ and the Endosperm. The bran and germ is separated as it affects the baking quality of the flour. The Roller Mill Process is a gradual reduction process where bran and its parts are broken down in succession of relatively gentle grinding stage. Grinding is done in Roller Mill with a pair of rolls mounted in parallel alignment that can be adjusted to do precision grinding. At each grinding stage products consist of mixture of coarse, medium and fine particles including the portion of the flour that are separated by sifting of material following each grinding stage. The produce is then sieved in plan shifters. Pneumatic lifts are used to feed in at the top and passes from the sieves to sieves by gravity flow. The machines required in Milling Section mainly consist of Roller Mills, Plan Shifters, Bran Finishers, Reverse Jet Filters, Dampener, Pneumatic lifts etc.

c) Others: Roller Flour Mill will be fully automated and will have various other equipments such as Elevators, Cyclones, Air lock, Conveying System, Screening System, Dust Collection equipments etc.

d)The miscellaneous fixed assets include furniture, jeep, weigh bridge office machines & equipment, fire-fighting equipment, testing equipment, & transformer including HT (High Tension) line.

Manufacturing Process & Technology: The technology for food processing industry is not complicated and mostly related to engineering. Good qualified and experienced team of management exposed to running hi-tech plants, is sure to have an edge over the competitors. The machinery suppliers extend all the necessary technical supports such as installation and upkeep.

Cleaning (preparatory) Section: The wheat contains many impurities like sand, metal pieces, dirt and gunny pieces. Wheat is cleaned before processing to remove coarse impurities like stones, chafe, stitching threads, woods, straws, dust etc. Conveyors, Elevator, Drum Sieve, Reel Machine, Separator with aspirators, magnet, etc. are used in pre-cleaning which improves the storability of the wheat.

Storage Silos: Cleaned wheat is stored in silos for the continuous process and making a proper blend of wheat according to the requirement as needed for the end product mix. 

First Cleaning: pre cleaned wheat is further processed to remove foreign ingredients that not only reduces the yield but also affects the taste and colour of the finished goods. Auto weigher, flow balancer, Dry de-stoner, intensive dampener, magnets are used in process and wheat is tempered at this stage.

Second Cleaning: By absorption of water at 1st cleaning stage cellulose layer of wheat expand, crack and get partly loose which is further tempered to have constant moisture using Intensive Dampner, Flow Balancer, Scourer, Volumetric Measure, Automatic Water Doser for smooth milling. Grinding: For getting good extraction Gradual Reduction System of break is used to separate the bran and endosperm. This breaking of wheat separating bran and endosperm is a mechanical process done by passing the wheat through Rolls running at different speed to produce a cutting and shearing action. Apart from Rolls Disc, Beat and impact Detachers are used besides the elevators to move the product from one roll to another

Purification: Semolina and Middling produced at grinding stage are separated from bran by air in Purifier Machines whereby a composite fractions composed of endosperm with adhering bran are also separated.

Bran Finisher: Whatever flour remain in bran is cleaned using bran finisher and the remaining bran is packed. 

Packaging: Since the process is of Gradual Reduction therefore at each stage end products are produced and sent pneumatically after sieving using Bolting Cloth in service Machines and the finished product are packed for delivery in market

((HH)) EEnnvviirroonnmmeennttaall IImmppaacctt This project is environmental friendly. Government of India has classified this in Green Category of industries. The factory is situated adjacent to main road leading to National High Way and there is no threat to traffic congestion. There is no dwelling close to the factory. The noise from the factory is very minimal. The factory has a potential to employ the locals as the process involves huge man power. The expertise of the locals can also be used to the benefit of the unit as most of the villagers are farmers. The presence of this environmental friendly unit would certainly help improve the locality as service oriented facilities are bound to come up because of the manpower employed.

World wheat consumption is consistently growing. Long-term trend supports the fact that is evident from above chart. Wheat being one of the major staple foods all across the world demand seems to remain strong owing to increasing population. Two major consuming countries of wheat are EU, China, India, Russia, USA and Pakistan.

Wheat has made the largest contribution to the growth of food grain production in India. This is shown by the growth rates: wheat production has grown at a much faster pace compared to other food grains. During 1974 – 2010, when total food grain production grew at an annual rate of 3.68 per cent, wheat production grew at 5.36 per cent. Even in the last decade, wheat production is showing the fastest growth. The growth in wheat production has come from increase in yield as well as expansion of area. The increase in area sown has come at the expense of coarse cereals and pulses area, and from an increase in cropping intensity through multiple cropping.

Nationally about 18 per cent of the net cropped area is planted to wheat. Figure 1 shows the shares of different states in the national wheat production. Uttar Pradesh (U.P.) contributes the largest share with 36 per cent of production, followed by Punjab with 19 per cent and Haryana with 11 per cent. These three northern states together contribute two-thirds of the production of wheat. These are followed by Madhya Pradesh (M.P.) 11 per cent, Rajasthan 10 per cent, Bihar 6 per cent and Gujarat 3 per cent. All the rest contribute only 4 per cent. As expected, the major wheat growing states are all in the north.

Source: Based on data from India, Directorate of Economics and Statistics 2010 Another feature of wheat production is that the wheat yields vary substantially across the states, as shown above. Punjab and Haryana show the highest yields of 3853 and 3660 kg/ha, respectively. These are followed, after a significant gap, by Rajasthan, U.P. and Gujarat with 2500, 2498 and 2373 kg/ha respectively – which are close to the national average of 2583 kg/ha. Bihar and M.P. follow with much lower yields of 1999 and 1625 kg/ha, respectively. These yields can be compared with 2907 kg/ha in USA, 1907 kg/ha in Australia, 1029 kg/ha in Russia, 3667 kg/ha in China and 7603 kg/ha in France (FAO 1998).

(D) Power & Fuel

Power requirement of the Roller Flour Mill plant is estimated at 500 KVA and is proposed to be obtained from the local Power grid. The Power received at 33 KV would be stepped down to 415 volts by means of transformer located in the main step-down sub-station (MSDS) and would be fed into the low tension switch board located in MSDS. One diesel-generating power set of 250 KVA rating at 430V, 50 Hz is proposed as a standby to meet the emergency power requirement of vital units of the plant requiring uninterrupted power supply in case of power cuts. The total cost of Power from APCPDCL is estimated at Rs 15.00 lakhs along with HT cabling, internal wiring, switches and internal lighting is estimated at Rs 16.74 lakhs.

(E) Water Requirements

The Flour mill Plant would require water for cleaning, washing of about 10,000 liters of water on a continuous basis. The unit has a 3” bore well along with storage tanks above the ground in the supply network to take care of the make up water requirement. In addition to the above around 1000 liters of water is required for human consumption and sanitation.

(F) Project Implementation Schedule:

The unit is proposing to complete the entire implementation of the project in 6 months time. The company has already purchased required land, completed all the legal formalities, identified and ordered equipment, and have completed finalizing commission agent network all over India to sell the entire production on a continuous basis.

Large flour mills allow for automated and continuous flour production, from raw material to packaged flour. 

PINGLE Flour Mills Project 

Cost of setting up a flour mill

The cost of a flour mill varies greatly due to different production capacities. If you are setting up a small mill flour mill, the cost will be much cheaper than a medium or large flour mill. Setting up a flour mill can require a lot of capital, so if you don't have enough money but don't want to miss out on a profitable endeavor, you can seek help from a bank loan or just find a reliable partner flour milling business who is passionate about flour mills. 

Typically, mini flour mills cost $2,500 to $3,000. small flour mill plants will cost $3,500 to $5,000. However, for large flour mills, the cost is certainly high. For example, a large flour mill with automatic wheat mill machinery may cost $19,000 to $1,448,000. However, this price is for reference only and the cost of a specific flour mill will depend on the specific conditions and equipment selection!

Custom Flour Mill Business Plan

How do I start a flour mill? The following will talk about the basic factors that should be considered when deciding to get started.

1. Getting financial support

Any business needs financial support before it can start. How much does it cost to buy a flour mill ? Will you need a loan or just put all your money into this business. For estimating the amount, it is better to have a better understanding of the local market as well as the global market where the flour mill business is profitable.

2. Obtaining a flour milling license

Getting a license from the government or registering your plant with the local government is also important for the success of your flour milling business. Ensuring that every policy and flour production process complies with local rules and regulations is an essential requirement for a flour mill. 

3. Finding the right plant location

The right plant location is very important for a flour milling business. The right plant location should have easy access to raw materials and the delivery and transportation of final packaged flour. Once the location is determined, it's time to get out of the flour milling plant's coverage area. In general, a complete flour mill plant layout should include an area for storing raw materials, an area for the flour milling machine, and an area for the flour packing area.

4. Buying a flour mill

When the above conditions are in place, it is time to consider how and where to obtain flour machinery. The selection of a flour mill is closely related to capacity, investment cost, flour making process, raw materials, etc. Therefore, it cannot be done overnight. Therefore, it cannot be done overnight. Time needs to be taken to select the most reliable flour machinery supplier, which helps avoid many unexpected problems in flour mill installation and operation and reduces machinery purchase costs.

5. Operator training and safety education

For most flour mills, flour production should have several operators or workers . Systematic training and safety education for workers and operators is one of the most important elements to start the operation of a flour mill. They must not only be proficient with the equipment and machinery, but also know how to add flour ingredients. Most suppliers of four-mill machinery offer training programs and courses to their customers to help them get into the flour industry quickly and avoid many typical operating mistakes.

6. Flour milling business marketing strategy development

How to get the final produced flour directly to the customer is also a difficult task for the flour mill investor. If the local flour market is not very competitive, then don't worry, the final flour product will sell very well. Some markets such as Nigeria, India, Pakistan, Uganda, Chile, Australia, Algeria, Ethiopia, etc. are very popular to start a flour milling business due to high demand and low competition.

7. Supply chain management: 

Develop a robust supply chain management strategy to ensure a stable and reliable supply of corn raw materials. Build relationships with trusted suppliers and explore options for sourcing corn locally to minimize transportation costs and shorten delivery times.

8. Product Diversification: 

Consider diversifying your products beyond basic cornmeal to cater to different market segments and consumer preferences. Explore opportunities to produce value-added corn products such as fortified flours, cornmeal blends or specialty flours to expand your market reach and revenue streams.

How to Start a Flour Production Company – Sample Business Plan Template

By: Author Tony Martins Ajaero

Home » Business ideas » Agriculture Industry » Agro Processing & Allied Industry

Do you want to start a flour production company from scratch? Or you need a sample flour production business plan template? If YES, then i advice you read on. Almost all the junk foods we eat these days are made from flour; Cake, Burger, Pizza, Doughnut, name them, are all made from flour. There are different types of flours and each of type of flour is dependent on the raw material used to produce the flour.

For instance, wheat flour is made from wheat, corn flour is made from corn/maize; then there are others like rice flour, cocoyam flour and yam flour and my guess is that you know the raw materials each of these types of flour are made from.

Starting a flour company is a very profitable business that can break even after a few years due to the high demand for flour by companies that use flour as raw material to produce other finished products. The main end users of flour products are bakeries for production for bread and related pastries, pharmaceutical companies, and food processing companies, private individuals that engage in small pastry baking business.

In this article, I will provide you with a sample wheat flour mill business plan and also tell you how to start your own flour producing company.

3 Reasons to Open a Flour Production Company

High demand.

I have explained this point earlier on this article that one of the reasons to open a flour producing company is because there is a high demand for flour by pastry making companies and other food processing companies.

Raw Materials Readily Available

The raw materials needed in the production of flour are readily available and cheap to get. For instance, if your company makes corn flour, the only major raw material you need is corn which is easy to source for from farmers. You can focus in the production of more than one type of flour since the whole processes are almost the same. For instance, your company can produce both wheat flour, corn flour and millet flour if you have source for getting bulk quantity of wheat, corn and millet.

Easy Loan for Expansion

You can easily get loan from a bank or other financial institutions for the expansion of your company. Since flour is a high demand and fast moving product, most banks will not hesitate to facilitate a loan to expand your company since they know you can pay back the loan with the interest.

Starting a Flour Production Company – Sample Business Plan Template

1. training on how to handle the machineries for production.

Unless you have worked in a flour mill before now, you need to get the basic training on how to handle the machineries used in the grinding and further production of the raw materials into finished flour. You also need to know other ingredients that are added to get the final result.

2. Register Your Business as a Company

You may not start out as a massive flour mill, but you have a dream of expanding the company to a flour mill one day, so you need to register your business as a company; preferably a Limited Liability Company. This also gives you the privilege to patent any new flour product you invent to your company’s name.

3. Lease a Space for Your Factory

When you are done with the formal registration, you have to look for a space to buy or rent as your factory complex. A basic flour mill doesn’t require much space to get started.

You need mainly a place to keep the raw materials, a space for your machineries, a space to keep the processed flour for packaging, and the space for the final packaging of the flour. The location of the factory should be easily accessible for easy transport of raw material into the site and easy shipping out of packaged flour to customers.

4. Purchase Equipments and Materials

Once you get the space for the factory, it’s time to buy the equipments and machineries you will need for production. Part of the need for going for training is to know which equipments are vital for the product of flour and how to use each of them. You can also lease machineries if the company is running on a very tight budget, but endeavor to purchase your own set ones you make enough money.

5. Source for Raw Materials

It is time to scout for raw materials you need for production. As I mentioned above, the raw material you will need depends on the type of flour you are producing. A good place to source for raw materials is from farmers that cultivate the raw materials in commercial quantities.

If you have the extra expanse of land, you may decide to cultivate your own raw material which may be cheaper but more stressful with the whole cultivation, nurturing, waiting to mature and finally harvesting processes. So it is much better to purchase from farmers.

6. Find Customers for Your Products

At this stage, I assume that the first set of flour production has been done and packaged; so you have to look for buyers for the finished product.

A good way to do this is to get a list of bakeries, food processing companies and pharmaceutical companies near your location; write a proposal to them that you have a flour company that can supply them with any quantity of flour they require.

Also include a small sample of the flour you made to them for them to see the product you have and finally, let them know that you can produce other types of flour on order ( if you have the equipment to produce various types of flour ).

This is all you need to know about starting a flour production mill. Please note that you need to get certification from the organization responsible for checking the quality of food products in your location, as it will help to increase the authenticity of your product to your customers.

Also, remember that the packaging process includes using a bag or sack that is branded with your company’s name and logo to package your flour; as this helps to advertise your products to anybody that comes in contact it.

During Ganpati everyone needs rice flour for those yummy modaks and during Diwali there is a rise in mix dal flour for the tasty chaklis. These are just a few instances of why a flour mill business is absolutely essential.

Besides, one cannot stress enough on the fact that everyone needs homemade snacks and these homemade snacks require a flour mill. And what does a flour mill need? Well, for starters (and most importantly) it needs a flour mill business plan. 

Your atta chakki business plan will be your permanent guide. So make sure you work on it diligently and with concentration. To draft a flour mill business plan you need to consider ALL the factors of your business.

Your flour mill business plan should have answers to the why’s, how’s, when’s, where’s of your business. At any point in your business, if you feel stuck or lost, you should know where to seek help from and that is your atta chakki business plan.

Your atta chakki business plan is like a road map of your business. To make an amazing business plan you need to know what all should be included in a business plan.

Flour Mill Business Plan

Executive summary.

As the word suggests, it should be an ‘executive’ summary of your business. The key points of your atta chakki business plan should find a place here. The sales, the goal, action items and more. You need to remember that your business plan plays a dual role. It will help you incur funds from banks but also act as your guide. 

Usually, it can be one to four pages long. Treat as a separate document in the business plan so that you can refer to it and tick your goals and benchmarks as and when required.

For more details, you can check this business plan checklist that includes the important factors of a business plan.

Management Details

Your flour mill business plan should include the detail of management. The details like how much do you plan to deliver, when do you plan to expand your business and more. This should include the steps of your business. 

Marketing Your Business

Before stepping into a business venture, you need to do thorough research. A background study is a must before you start your business. Know your competitors well, know where they are located so as to understand the immediate competition and learn their marketing strategies.

After evaluative research, create a plan and highlight the good points of your business and spread it through online and offline marketing methods. There are many ways of marketing your business. Apart from the digital way of marketing, you can also choose some traditional ways of marketing your business. 

You can consider distributing flyers in the immediate vicinity of your business. This way, you can let people in the area know about your business and also this can trigger immediate footfall into your business.

Define Your Service

Give a detailed description of your products and services. Make a consolidated list of all the dals and grains you will be grinding in your flour mill. Even though it is the same obvious list, creating a list will help them locate their needs easily. 

Also, you can provide a home delivery service in the vicinity of your business. For example, if you can appoint additional helping staff, you can ask customers to leave the packages and instead of having to wait in the queue, you can deliver it to their home. You can leverage this service while promoting your business as there are not many atta chakki businesses who provide this kind of service.

The Hygiene Factor

This might sound a little obvious, but do not ignore the hygiene factor in your business. Especially a food business needs to take extra precautions to make sure that the location of their business is hygienic and clean. Even the staff should take the necessary precautions like wearing hand gloves or caps. 

This will help in building trust in your customers as nothing is more appealing in a food business that cleanliness and hygiene. The caps and gloves will earn you extra stars from your customers. Tiny things like these trigger the ‘word of mouth’ promotion and before you know, you will have a loyal and a long customer base.

The Flour Mill Equipment

Obviously, you need the soul of your business and that is the flour mill equipment. When you are done managing the aforementioned factors, the entrepreneur should ask the most important question and that is which, how and where to get the flour mill machinery from. All these questions have majorly depended upon the capital that you are going to invest in the machinery, the capacity of your production, availability of raw material and the overall investment. 

Therefore, this decision cannot be made in a haste and it will definitely not be an overnight process. It will take a considerable time to choose the aptest and reliable flour milling equipment supplier. This carefully taken decision will help you avoid any unseen problems in the operation and installation of the flour milling factory and also help in minimising the cost of machinery purchases.

The Legal Support

Any business is incomplete without strong legal support. Your business needs to be compliant with all the necessary legal licenses. It is important that you safeguard your business with these legal formalities. Your atta chakki business will need to be compliant with the following legal licenses – 

Any food business is incomplete without FSSAI license. Your atta chakki has to comply with all the regulation set by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India. FSSAI Certification in your premise adds to the trust quotient in your customers. It is not a difficult procedure, you just got to keep the right documents ready.

Udyog Aadhar  

An flour mill is considered as a small or micro business and hence it needs to be registered under Udyog Aadhaar which is a registration and recognition for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). 

You need to check the state-specific licenses depending on the location of your business. In Maharashtra, your atta chakki business will require a Shop Act License from the local municipal authorities for the purpose of carrying out the business operations. 

This licence helps in regulating the management of the business and takes care of factors like working conditions, working hours, holidays, wages, leaves, etc. of the employees and helps in running your business efficiently.

GST Registration

Goods and Service Tax enables entrepreneurs to avail government scheme benefits and only GST compliant businesses are allowed to charge GST on their products and services. All businesses, including the flour mill, has to consider the tax system at one point or the other. To be able to and handle a unified, single and uniform taxation method, the business needs to be registered under the common GST scheme/ the Goods and Service Tax.

Your atta chakki business plan should be inclusive of the status of all the mentioned legal licenses.

GST stands for goods and service tax, introduced in India on 1st July 2017 and replaced around 15 other cascading taxes levied by the Central and State governments. Under GST, goods and services are taxed at different rates as per the categories defined by the Indian Government. Various tax slabs are 0%, 5%, 12%, 18% and 28%. There is a special rate of 0.25% on rough precious and semi-precious stones and 3% on gold.

The Indian flour milling industry is highly competitive, with many large and small players vying for market share. Therefore, you’ll need a well-thought-out business plan that gives you a competitive edge. Let’s check out more information about flour mill business plan in India below.

The Flour mill business in India is a highly profitable industry with enormous growth potential. The Indian flour mill market is estimated to be worth Rs. 15,000 crores and is growing at a CAGR of 5%. The market is segmented by type of flour, end-use, distribution channel, and region. There are two types of flour mills in India – small-scale mills and large-scale mills.

The small-scale mills cater to the local market’s needs, while the large-scale mills export their products to other countries. The large-scale flour mills have a capacity of more than 200 tons per day, and they are located mainly in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra. The Indian flour mill market is segmented by type of flour as follows: Atta (wheat), Maida (refined wheat), Suji (semolina), Dal flour, and bran.

Atta is the most popular type of flour used in India, accounting for about 60% of the total flour production in India. Maida is primarily used in the bakery industry for making cakes, biscuits, and pastries. Suji is used in making noodles, pasta, and vermicelli. Finally, bran is used as livestock feed. The Indian flour mill market is segmented by end-use: domestic, institutional, and commercial. Domestic consumption accounts for about 85% of India’s total flour demand.

The flour milling process is lengthy and complex, involving several different steps. First, the wheat kernels must be cleaned and separated from other foreign matter. Next, they are crushed and ground into coarse flour, which is then sifted to remove any remaining larger pieces.

The resulting flour is then milled to a finer consistency before blended with desired additives (such as salt, sugar, or malt) and finally packaged for sale. Depending on the type of flour being produced, the process may vary slightly, but each stage is essential to have a high-quality product.

The business model of a flour mill in India depends on the following factors:

• The cost of raw materials : The cost of wheat or other grains used to produce flour will directly impact the business.
• The price of flour : This is determined by the demand and supply in the market, as well as the quality of the flour.
• The capacity of the mill : A bigger mill will be able to produce more flour and therefore command a higher price.
• The mill’s efficiency will determine how much wheat can be converted into flour and how much profit can be made.

Numerous flour mills in India are helping the country’s economy by providing employment and producing quality flour for the citizens. However, the Indian flour milling industry is highly competitive with many established brands. As a result of this, the competition among the brands is intense, and the government controls the pricing of products. The financials of a flour mill business in India vary depending on the size and scale of operation.

The investment required for setting up a small-scale flour mill business can range from Rs. 2 lakhs to 20 lakhs. On the other hand, the costs incurred in setting up a large-scale flour mill business can go up to Rs. 1 crore or more. The profitability of a flour mill business in India depends on several factors, such as the type of wheat used, production capacity, operating efficiencies, marketing strategies, etc. However, a well-managed and efficiently operated flour mill can generate good profits even in a low-margin environment.

Numerous risks and challenges are associated with starting a flour mill business in India. The most significant challenge is the high cost of setting up the business. This is due to the expensive machinery and equipment required for milling. Additionally, the cost of transportation and storage of flour can be pretty high. Other risks and challenges include:

• Theft or vandalism of milling equipment
• Dearth of qualified personnel to operate the mill
• Inadequate supply of raw materials
• Fluctuations in market demand

You should remember a few things when making a flour mill business plan in India. The first is the location of your mill. You want to ensure that you have a good location for your business. There are many different types of flour mills in India, so you must research the different types and choose the one that will be best for your business. The second thing to remember is the type of flour you will be milling. You must ensure that you have a good variety of flours to offer your customers.

There are different types of wheat and other grains that can be milled, so you need to ensure that you provide various products. The third thing to keep in mind is the price of your product. You must ensure that you are competitive with the other mills in the area. You also need to ensure you charge a fair price for your product. The fourth thing to keep in mind is the marketing of your business. Make sure that you have a good marketing strategy so that people will know about your business and what you have to offer them.

Here are important points to remember: 

• Know your target market. To whom will you be selling your flour? What are their needs and wants? 
• Research the competition. What are they doing right? What are they doing wrong? How can you do better?
• Choose the correct location. Your mill should be close to your target market and have good transportation access. 
• Invest in the best equipment. You’ll need high-quality machinery to produce quality flour.
• Create a strong marketing strategy. How will you let people know about your flour mill? Make sure you have a plan for getting the word out.
• Have a solid financial plan. This is critical for any business but is especially important.

There are key factors to consider when determining if a flour mill is profitable in India. The first factor is the cost of wheat. Wheat prices can fluctuate greatly, so keeping an eye on the market is essential. The second factor is the cost of labor. Labor costs in India are relatively low, so that a flour mill can be profitable even with a small staff. The third factor is the cost of transportation.

Because India is such a large country, transportation costs can be high. The fourth factor is the price of flour. Flour prices also fluctuate but tend to be more stable than wheat prices. Assuming all other costs remain constant, a flour mill will be most profitable when wheat prices are low, and flour prices are high. Conversely, a flour mill will be least profitable when wheat prices are high, and flour prices are low. Therefore, it is important to watch both wheat and flour prices when deciding whether or not to operate a flour mill in India.
