4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE
(P.Selvarajn, 2012).Ready-to-Eat food is food that is offered or exposed for sale
without additional effort of cooking or preparation, which is packaged on the area
where they are being sold and are ready for consumption. Canned foods,
convenience foods, fast foods, frozen foods, instant products, dried foods, preserved
foods, etc. all come under Ready-to-Eat foods.
The ready-to-eat (RTE) market in India, currently calculated at Rs. 128 crore (2006)
is expected to increase to reach Rs. 2,900 crore by 2015, according to an analysis
conducted by Tata Strategic Management Group (TSMG).
Jorin (1987) examined changes in spending power and buying habits of Swiss
consumers since the beginning of the 20th century and in the more recent past.
Current trends include greater emphasis on health and safety of foodstuffs and less
attention to price, increased demand for low calorie light products and increased
demand for organically grown foods. For young people, more concern with
enjoyment and less for health, with more meals eaten away from home, and
generally an increased demand for convenience foods. The prospects for high
quality branded products are seen to be good.
