The food processing industry in India going by most indicators seems to be relatively unaffected so far by the global financial exposure, during this mega food park will help over this situation. 

The centre ministry had sanctioned mega food parks projects for the 11 th five year plan throughout the country. The total investment for each park is estimated between ₹ 150 to 200 crore. The centre will grant ₹ 50 crore, while the remaining will be through private and public partnerships in the food processing sector.

According to MOFPI (Ministry of Food Processing Industries) “The aim of the plan of Mega Food Park is to providing a link between agricultural production to the market by bringing together farmers, processors and retailers so as to ensure maximizing value addition, minimizing wastage, increasing farmers income and also developing opportunities of employments particularly in rural sector”.

Each food park is expected to have around 30-40 food processing units, which provide direct and indirect employment.

Now the states needs to aggressively gear up and capitalise on its inherent horticultural crop strengths and chalk out a strategy to benefit from the centre’s financial incentives.
