In a freer WTO trade regime, food industry must focus on quality management
Abstract
In the new WTO led freer trade environment, Indian food industry can compete globally
only if it is price and quality competitive. While many have addressed price
competitiveness, sensitising food industry on the importance of quality competitiveness
has become essential. Mainstream management research has studied quality management
in manufacturing sector extensively. However, there is scant attention paid to quality
management in food sector. I attempt to relate various dimensions of quality and quality
management systems in the context of food industry. Although adopting strategic quality
management practices needs a basic change in attitude which cannot happen overnight, a
tangible beginning can be made in terms of adopting quality assurance system called
HACCP.
