To determine the techno-economic feasibility three economic parameters i.e. break even quantity, break even sales and break even period were analyzed. It was found in breakeven analysis that in order to produce 54 lakh units of 20g pouches of ready to eat extruded snacks of quinoa, brown rice and green gram in the blend ratio of 50:35:15 with the identified infrastructure, the break even production comes to 3024000 units, break even sales is Rs. 15120000/- and break even period comes out to be 2.8 yrs. This analysis helps in set up of new start-ups at commercial level for producing brown rice, quinoa and green gram extruded snacks.
