Across the world, the food-processing sector has a large potential for growth and socio-economic impact as it leads to income generation by creating jobs for the rural poor and thus reduces the burden on the agricultural sector. It also helps in the reduction of wastage, value addition, foreign exchange earnings, and enhancing manufacturing competitiveness.
This sector serves as a vital link between the agriculture and industrial segments of the economy. Adequate focus on this could greatly alleviate our concerns on food security and food inflation.
