Project Report in Nutri Chips

With the present generation becoming more and more calorie and health conscious, the demand for potato chips is on the verge of a slow decline. However the demand for the various junk food has not lessened. This tells us that consumers are now looking for low cal snacks. This gives us our market opportunity of producing chips made out of Tapioca which has less calories and fats than potato and yet is equally tasty. Project Description: The aim of the project is to set up a tapioca chips manufacturing plant in Patia, Bhubaneswar. The distribution would be done to the general stores around the area. Our target market are the various students studying in KIIT university and the young professionals in Infocity and their families. The project would involve a proper business plan formulation and correspondingly site selection for the set up of the plant. MANUFACTURING PROCESS Tapioca chips are manufactured from fresh roots, using semi automatic or fully automatic machineries. It involves following major operations: Selection of tubers and washing Peeling/trimming process Slicing, washing and sorting De-watering Frying, cooling and packing Thus, the process is very simple and standardised. Average yield is around 25%.

CAPITAL INPUTS Land and Buildings: A plot of around 200 sq.meters of land and built-up area of 100 sq.mtrs. is sufficient to have annual capacity of 120 tonnes. The land may cost Rs.60, 000/whereas cost of construction is assumed to be Rs. 2.50 lacs.

Plant and Machinery It is proposed to install tapioca chips making capacity of 120 tonnes per year with 300 working days and 2 shift working. The total cost of machinery is expected to be Rs. 5.00 lacs.
