Abstract

The aim of this research is to examine barriers of food process based small and medium scale manufacturing enterprise growth in Northern India. From the analysis it was found that there are various factors that could prevent the food processed based SMEs to grow. The findings will contribute to the growth and development of the SMEs in particular in the food processing industry. In our study on food processing we have find out eight barriers of food processing industries for SMEs which are modeled using ISM approach. In our result resistance to change and lack of ethical values were top rated barriers. Lack of finance is second level barrier, government regulations and lack of market consumptions is third level barrier, lack of R&D technology and lack of new technology & information were fourth level by government regulations values bottom rated barrier.
