The earliest examples would be wool and leather-based manufacturing, fibres into textiles, pigment extracts, medicinal extracts, beverages, flour milling, etc. In all probability, the non-food processing sector developed earlier to the food processing sector. The raw food was most likely processed individually in family kitchens before such cooking or food preparation was taken up as an economic activity at an enterprise scale. Raw food was also used as a barter to exchange for the other products of the industry. A broad list of products that can be output from agro-based industries is indicated below. Doubling Farmers’ Income –  Farm linked Activities and Secondary, Absorbents/adsorbents, Activated carbon, Adhesives, Agricultural chemicals, Alcohol/butanol, Alternative fibres, Animal feed, Antioxidants, Aromatic oils, Biofilters, Bio-based fuels, Biodegradable plastics, Bonded fabrics, Bone charcoal, Cardboard Cellulose, cellulose membranes, Chemicals, surfactants, detergents, Cosmeceuticals, Enzymes, Ethanol/Butanol Fertilizers, psychostimulant, Foods, beverages, nutrients Fragrances, Fuel additives, Gases/methane/CO2, Gelatin, Gluten Honey, Lac, Industrial oils, Inks, dyes, pigments, Industrial materials/soil amenders Lubricants, rust inhibitors, other functional fluids Oils, waxes, binders, stabilizers, Packaging materials, Paints/coatings Panels, Laminates, Composites, Paper & paper products, Phytoremediation, Phytoceuticals and neutraceuticals Proteins, Rendering, Rubber, Solvents & co-solvents, Speciality chemicals, fatty and acetic acid, Sugar, Sweeteners Vitamins, Water & wastewater treatment products, Waxes, Whey protein, Wines Xylose, glucose, lignin, D-ribose These could be categorised into non-food and food industry segments- Non-food processing industry, inter alia includes, Dyes &colour additives – pigments, intermediates, reactives, etc. Fibres – clothe and non-clothing materials, silk, paper, wool, jute, bamboo, etc. Medicinal – oils, extracts, active ingredients, concentrates, etc. Bio mixtures – fertilizers, psychostimulants, biocides, vermicomposting, etc. Bio based fuel and oils – ethanol, butanol, castor oil, wax Flowers – dried floral items, floral extracts, etc. Fodder and animal feed – pet food, cattle feed, etc. Tobacco and products – cigarettes, leaves, betelnut, scents, etc. Industrial chemicals – adhesives, acids, paints, perfumes, cosmetics, etc. Industrial materials – building material, composites, cardboard, bone charcoal, etc. Food processing industry, inter alia includes, Beverages – tea, coffee, juices, carbonated, wine, alcoholic, etc. Bakery and Confections – breads, biscuits, sweets, pastries, etc. Edible Oils – cooking oil, fats, refined, raw, etc. Milk & Dairy – butter, ghee, ice cream, cheese, powder, etc. Meats - frozen, preserved, canned, concentrate, additives, etc. Foodgrains - flour, meals, ready-to-cook, ready-to-eat, etc. Spices & Condiments – powders, masalas, vinegar, sauces, etc. Dehydrated fruits and vegetables. Preserves – pickles, jams, chutney, juice, etc. These industries, output a wide variety of products, and there is scope to scale up and develop such industries, on the strength of primary output of agriculture in the country. The farmer alone cannot achieve the scale and capacity of many of the agro-industries but provides the raw feedstock to the industry. TheThe future of the agro-based industries is bright, even though some agro-based products may have been replaced with industrial materials like plastics and polymers. However, a renewed consciousness to lower the ecological footprint and new technologies have allowed for resurgence of bio-based products, such as biodegradable plastics, bio based fuels and bio-based construction materials. The potential of many agro-based industries have not been fully explored in India. The country can do well to develop industries that output tertiary and high technology products,  The currently under-utilised opportunities that should be considered as thrust areas are as follows- i. Millet based food products – promotion of minor millets is also recommended recognising the crops’ ecological and nutritional significance. ii. Bio-fuels – since India is import dependent for its crude oil requirements, bio based diesel and ethanol as fuel can be tapped to add to economic growth and be more environmentally friendly in our consumption.'
