Inaugurating the 26th edition of International Food & Hospitality Fair, AAHAR, at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry, said that his department and the Union Government was committed to provide all assistance for the growth of food processing sector in the country. He said that the agriculture and food processing sector had comparative advantage in terms of employment generation in rural India and therefore could not be ignored.
The minister said that the potential of the food processing sector lay between reality and opportunity. Despite being the highest producer of vegetables, food grains, and poultry products, the minister said that processing of these farm produces was quite low in the country.
