FOREWORD

I am delighted to present the Report of Industries potential Survey with

District profile 2014-15 which would serve as a resource document for the

preparation of District Industrial Plan as well as for the promotion of

entrepreneual development activities in the district both for extention and

supervisory officers and stakeholders.

All the IEOs, ADIOs and other Managers and all the staff members were

directly or indirectly indulged in the data collection, compilation and report

generation activities.

Introduction

India is one of the fastest growing economies of the world with an

average growth rate of above 8% in the recent past. Our economic growth

remained on course despite a serious slow down witnessed by the world economy.

Even though adversely affected by the depressing global economic environment

especially since 2008, the performance of the MSME Sector has been somewhat

consistent and the Sector has emerged as an engine of growth of the Indian

Economy.

The Sector consisting of 29 million units, as of today, provides

employment to over 69 million persons. The Sector through more than 6,000

products ranging from traditional to high-tech items contributes about 8% to GDP

besides 45% to the total manufacturing output and 40% to the exports from the

country. In fact as per the 4th MSME Census, Kerala accounted for nearly 10

percent of the total working MSMEs in the country and provided an employment

for nearly 7 per cent of the total employed in MSME sector in the country.

Since 2006, (MSMED Act came into force) the fact that the service

sector growing at a far higher pace than the manufacturing sector, it poses a

completely different picture in the MSME sector. The labour to capital ratio in

MSMEs is much higher than that in the large industries and the geographic

distribution of the MSMEs is also more even. In the MSME sector, the village and

rural industries are primarily in the rural landscape and provide an important

ingredient of the local economic eco-system. It adds wealth to the local economy

and at the same time provides major employment and in the long run it will help to

slowdown the rural to urban migration.

Despite the initiatives taken in the successive industrial policies, the

growth of MSMEs in Kannur district is not at par with the State standards and

4

national standards. The inherent richness of the District in terms of natural

resources, human resources need to be leveraged to realize the full potential of the

Micro, Small & Medium Enterprise Sector of the District.

A new wave of industrialization being witnessed in Kannur today,

especially in the general engineering, Building materials, Food & Agro, Steel and

tourism sector and the current growth provide enormous opportunity for the growth

of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises in the District.

However the DIC, Kannur faces some challenges like providing grass

root and affordable technologies and ensuring, at least primary processing at the

panchayat/cluster level to add value and reduce the costs of logistics. With the

increase of educated youth power in rural, the challenge is to train them to set up

their own rural level enterprises and encourage them through policy as well as

fiscal instruments.

MSME Sector in this district facing the odds like reluctance of

banks/financial institutions for providing credit to MSMEs, lack of access to

technology, inadequate marketing capabilities, etc., has pushed them towards the

edge. Such adverse environment can have serious consequences leading to sickness

or even closure.

As the MSME sector, producing an extremely wide ranging variety of

goods which are exported as well as have to reach out to the domestic consumers,

another challenge is to make the sector to be competitive whether in terms of

design, manufacturing competence, marketing or market access to withstand

internal (from big domestic industries) and external competitions (imports).
