As the availability of good quality crushed bones at a reasonable cost is critical for the competitiveness of the domestic ossein and gelatin industry, the government has allowed imports. For the gelatin industry, raw material costs constitute almost 50-55 per cent of the total cost
The global price of crushed bone is under Rs.25/kg, whereas Indian prices today hover around Rs.28-30, which itself is a sharp drop from last year’s nearly Rs.35/kg
