Ambitious plans to open a mega food park in India look set to come to fruition by the end of this year, more than three years after its foundation stone was laid.
India’s food processing minister has called on international food companies to manufacture their products in India’s “mega food parks” before re-exporting these to a country of their choosing.
India’s food processing industry is facing an “inconsistent and restrictive regulatory environment”, according to the minister that represents it, prompting the government to implement measures to ease product approval regulations.
