Our Bureau, Mumbai, http://www.fnbnews.com/

Six food processing companies including Mrs Bector’s Food (Cremica Group) and Brattle Foods Ltd have evinced interest in setting up Punjab’s first mega food park. The food park will be developed under a scheme floated by the ministry of food processing industries to create infrastructure for the sector.

“We have so far received applications from six companies, which have submitted their project proposals involving investment in the range of Rs 150-200 crore for setting up a mega food park here, which will be the first ever in Punjab,” a senior official of the Punjab Agro Industries Corporation (PAIC) said.

Among other companies which have shown interest for the project are Punjab based International Fresh Farm Products Ltd, Maninder Rice Mills, Kolkata based LMJ Ltd and Jodhpur based Veer Prabhu Exports. PAIC, which is the nodal agency for food processing industries in the state, would facilitate setting up of the food park by making land available at the proposed location of Goindwal Sahib in Tarn Taran district.

The proposed food park would boast of a central processing centre (CPC) where food processing units would be set up. The Mofpi proposes to set up 10 mega food parks in the country. Of the 10, two mega food parks, one near Pune and one in Haridwar, have started functioning and five food parks are nearing completion.
