Growth of Food Processing Industry in India - Government Policies, Infrastructure and incentives.

In this video, we watch how is the food processing industry growing in India. While India has been an agriculture powerhouse, India had not invested in Food processing, storage and other technologies. Thus we saw very high level of wastage, the exports were below the potential.

In the last few decades, both the centre and the state have invested and encouraged this industry.

The government has set an objective that the Food processing industry will contribute USD 565 billion to the GDP by 2025-26.

The government has initiated multiple programs to boost investments in this sector, Several Food Parks are being established by both the central and state governments.

The focus has been on enhancing exports, setting up of Mega Food parks, enabling small and micro to participate more actively and providing easier access to finance. Linkages and cold chains have been set up to boost storage and access to markets.
