INTRODUCTION
As we know that India is based on agriculture. India earns 80 % of national income through it. I have undergone industrial training at Ramdev Food Products Pvt Ltd which one is on agricultural raw-materials. Since past India was also known as An Island Of Spices. Different countries like Arabian countries including Iran, Iraq, and Kuwait, European countries like England, France, and Holland, Denmark were used to buy spices Garam Masala like Chilies, Coriander, Black-pepper, Cumin, Turmeric, Garlic, CurryLeaves, Mustard, and Cardamom etc. It is also proved by science that smell & taste of spices influence our hunger & it also helps indigestion. In earlier times our grand mothers were used to make all these spices at home by grinding it at home. But now on the age of working woman, at the time of internet, modern & fast era they buy it directly from market. Generally market of loose spices is of 90% RAMDEV FOOD PRODUCT PVT LTD.

RAMDEV FOOD PRODUCTS PVT. LTD All consumers heavily emphasize on quality.
VMPCMS
If company develops new product & selling to market that time product is
better than other product. Any person will consider it is a better quality than other brand. To improve the brand image co. should advertise in two phases. First are chili powder in mostly market coverage and other sector in a more profit. To provide a more & more promotional schemes to the customers.
Most of customers are not purchase a chili powder due to high price so price is
comfortable for all the customers. Advertisement of chilli powder is less so to create a more advertisement so most of customers are awareness about chili powder.
Every customer contact simultaneously informs and educates about the service
that company offers. Measure productivity and effectiveness in reference to the standard and make the results public. Always approach customers first and ask then what they are looking for offer assistance. I am sure and confident that sullies capable and innovative. My best wishes for future success of the organization are an important part of my visit.

Finally I have done conclusion that company should built strong supply chain for the distribution of goods and services. And company should do more advertisement to create general awareness. Ramdev is satisfied the premium segment of market. It targets the higher segment of market which is very price sensitive
