Tomar inaugurates Mega Food Park in Punjab

New Delhi, Nov 24 (UNI) Union Minister for Food Processing Industries, Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Rural Development and Panchayati Raj Narendra Singh Tomar on Tuesday virtually inaugurated the Sukhjit Mega Food Park at Phagwara in Kapurthala district of Punjab.
Mr Tomar said that Punjab and Haryana have significant roles in the development of agriculture sector of India.
He added that due to untiring efforts of farmers of these two states, India is not only self-reliant in food grains, but is also food surplus.
Punjab has been ahead in production of rice and wheat. However, due to reduced ground water levels, diversification of crops is required, for which Punjab farmers have taken several steps, the Union Minister noted.
He said the food processing sector needs focus, so that farmers get fair prices and related sectors can also benefit.
This Mega Food Park is built at project cost of Rs 107.83 crore and spread over 55 acres of land. It is expected to benefit about 25000 farmers and likely to generate employment for about 5000 persons.
It is equipped with Raw Material/Finished Goods Warehouses (3944 sq mt), Silos (20000 MT), Cold Storage (3000 MT), IQF and Deep Freezer (IQF: 2 MT/hr + Deep Freezer: 2000 MT) and other related food processing facilities.
