How to Set Up a Stevia Processing Unit

A stevia processing plant is set up after a feasibility study on demand, end-products, availability of stevia extracts, targeted markets, etc. The next step is to set up the unit close to stevia farming areas or to procure through contracts with farmers so that sourcing costs are lower in comparison to imports. Once the premises are fixed, start obtaining registrations such as FSSAI, pollution clearance, factory license, manufacturing license, and product approval for food-grade additives and sweeteners. The production output makes plant and machinery like the leaf dryer, extraction vessel, a filtration unit, crystallizer, spray dryer, purification unit, mixer, blender, and packing machines necessary. Spaces for leaf preparation, extraction, purification, crystallization/drying, mixing, packing and storage should be designed in compliance with food hygiene and pharmaceutical-gmp standards. Careful training of all workers is of paramount importance, to ensure proper handling of raw materials, hygiene controls, machine use and correct testing of incoming leaf to finished product. Securely integrating contract farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and stevia farmers also strengthens the supply chain and guarantees product availability throughout the year, while stringent quality control, through measurements of steviol glycoside content, purity, and sensory tests, ensures customer satisfaction in this high-quality health industry standard product. Partnerships with food and beverage manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, distributors, wholesalers and retailers will be established and maintained. A business plan, product efficiency and its market position of being a natural sweetener will further prove to be sustainable and highly profitable.

What Is Driving the Stevia Processing Market?

Demand is up for natural zero-calorie sweeteners. Therefore, the market for stevia processing is growing because these sweeteners are in beverages and act as a substitute for sugar and artificial sweeteners in confectionery, bakery, dairy products, and dietary supplements. Consumers who grow aware of diabetes, obesity, and other metabolic diseases are expected to fuel the growth in stevia products. Urbanization, increasing per capita income, and higher health awareness and acceptance of healthy retailing formats such as health/organic food stores, convenience stores, and e-commerce are also expected to increase and positively influence the market demand. The technological advancements in extraction and purification technologies, taste masking, and manufacturing process improvements are expected to increase the purity, sweetness, and production efficiency of the product. Market growth is driven by government policies for promoting natural ingredients, campaigns to reduce sugar consumption, and government support programs to cultivate alternative crops. From a business strategy standpoint, key players are pursuing vertical integration, contract farming programs, and direct sourcing from farmers. Major companies are expanding their range of stevia products to cover value-added products such as liquid and flavored stevia drops, stevia-erythritol blends, organic certified extracts, pharmaceutical-grade steviol glycosides and investing in biotechnological research, production through fermentation, sustainable sourcing certification programs and worldwide distribution of supply chains in order to stay ahead of competitors. Additionally, health positioning and claims regarding the natural origin of the product, clean label marketing strategies, and calculated alliances with food and beverage companies ease market growth.
