Agriculture and Food Processing Industries Minister, Shri Sharad Pawar
inaugurated the Srini mega food park at Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh
yesterday. This is the first mega food park in the country.
From seed to shelf, Srini Food Park facilitates end-to-end food
processing with beneficial forward and backward linkages. On par with
software parks, this new-age facility is equipped with Central
Processing Centre and Primary Processing Centres. It aims at becoming
a pioneering infrastructure enabler and facilitator for the Food
Processing Industry.
As a model `Mega Food Park` and the first of its kind in
India, Srini provides state-of-the-art food processing infrastructure
designed as per global standards and develops a veritable market place
with common facilities on the lines of a software park or a textile
park. Mega Food Park is promoted by experienced professionals and
supported by the government (the Ministry of Food Processing
Industries and the Andhra Pradesh Infrastructure Investment
Corporation) and is intended to benefit all components of the value
chain.
Nestled in a sprawling 147-acre space, Srini Food Park provides
world-class facilities for pulping, IQF, bottling, tetra packing,
modular cold storage, warehousing and advanced testing lab. It enables
basic and supply chain infrastructure, cluster farming and is ably
backed by field collection centers, self help groups and individual
farmers. Srini Food Park will empower food industry with
state-of-the-art infrastructure and quality raw material sourcing.
With the highest growth in the fruits and vegetables sector (20%) and
with Chittoor being the largest fruits and vegetables cluster in
India, this Mega Food Park becomes an ideal destination for food
processing units.
