New Delhi, March 28: Union Food Processing Industries Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal will
inaugurate the first mega food park in Rajasthan at Roopangarh village in Ajmer
on Thursday.
The food park is being set up at a cost of Rs 113.57 crore
and will cover around 25,000 farmers in Ajmer and adjoining districts.
The facilities being created at Central Processing Centre (CPC) of this Mega Food Park include cold storage of 5,000 tonnes, deep freeze of 2,550 tonnes, Individual Quick Freezing of 2 tonnes per hour, dry warehouse for raw materials of 2,500 tonne capacity and dry warehouse for finished goods of 5,000 tonnes.
The food park will also have silos of 6,500-tonne capacity, steam generator of 8 tonnes per hour, and other related food processing facilities.
The mega food park will leverage an additional investment of about Rs. 250 crore in 25-30 food processing units in the park. It is expected to lead to a turnover of about Rs. 450-500 crore per annum.
The park has the potential for providing employment to people and benefit farmers in the vicinity. It will prove to be a big boost to the growth of the food processing sector in Rajasthan, the officials of the Ministry of Food Processing said.
The Ministry of Food Processing Industries is creating mega food parks with modern infrastructure facilities for food processing along the value chain from farm to market with strong forward and backward linkages through a cluster based approach under the flagship scheme of ‘Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana’.
