Abstract:
Soya bean is a leguminous crop and is rich in proteins. Many value-added products are made
from it like milk, paneer, cheese and sauce. Soya products are increasingly becoming popular
especially amongst health-conscious people. Soya sauce is used as a taste enhancer as it has
a typical bitter-sour and sweet taste as well as flavour. The preferred locations are Gujarat,
MP, Maharashtra etc. But this note considers Maharashtra as the prospective location since
market for the soy a sauce is consistently increasing in the state. Amravati district of
Maharashtra cultivates substantial quantities of soya beans with around 30,000 hectare area
under this crop. Therefore, location of the proposed plant has to be selected carefully.
