INDUSTRIAL POTENTIAL SURVEY OF RATNAGIRI DISTRICT

FOREWORD
This Report Industrial Potential Survey of Ratnagiri District has been prepared as a part of the Core Action Programme for the year 2000-2001, of the Development Commissioner (SSI), Ministry of Industry, Government of India. The report provide a review of the past growth in the direction of industrialization and suggest the potential areas for such future growth. Ratnagiri is one of the industrially backward district of Konkan region of Maharashtra. A large number of its population is engaged in agricultural activities. Industrialization in the district is yet to be progressed to a satisfactory level. This report, in particular points out the resources of Ratnagiri district which have great potential for setting up of industries. The report has been prepared based on the information collected from various Central and State Government Offices, financial institutions, well established units and Industrial Associations. An effort has also been made in the report to point out the weakness of infrastructural facilities in Nanded district. Taking into consideration the existing resources and industrial infrastructural facilities of the district, candidate industries have also been suggested. I hope this report will be very helpful to the existing as well as the prospective entrepreneurs in planning their future ventures in the district. It may also serve as a useful guide to the Governmental and Semi-Governmental Agencies and Institutions engaged in promotion and development of industries in the district. I am grateful to the District Industries Centre, Ratnagiri and various State as well as Central Government Offices, Institutions and Agencies for giving almost cooperation and help extended during conducting the survey work. I appreciate the efforts of Shri Ramesh B. Nair, Small Industry Promotion Officer (EI) for compiling and preparing this report under the guidance of Shri O.M. Prabhakaran, Deputy Director (EI).

The role of Government Department Agencies engaged in industrial promotion and economic development etc. has been analyzed and also the industrial and economic policies of the government have been considered in the report. In this report, it was tried as an economic representation rather than presentation of statistical information and economic data. The report has been prepared on the primary information collected through extensive field visits and secondary information available in various documents and reports in the district. Various Central as well as State Government Offices, large scale and small-scale units and Industrial Associations were contacted to obtain the up-to-date information of the district.

The existing industries are mostly Agro based like Dal Mills, Rice Mills, Oil Mills, Cotton, Gunny etc. and engineering based (like steel furniture & wooden furniture) general workshop. Manufacturing Value added products on these lines, does have good scope.

Fruit/Vegetable Processing Industry:

The Central Institute for Research in Cotton Technology (CIRCOT) at Mumbai has developed the technology for some Cotton Stalk based Industry - Some of which are Corrugated boxes from Cotton Plant Stalk. Corrugated boxes are generally prepared from forest based wood pulp. In the context of depleting forest resources, alternate raw material like cotton stalk could be used for preparation of kraft pulp and paper required for making corrugated boxes. Quality of these boxes are par with those made from conventional raw materials and are comparatively cheaper too. 6. Particle Boards/Hard Boards:
