Press Release Summary = The government of India will invest about 1,500 crores to
set up food parks across 30 districts of the country.

Press Release Body = National Manufacturing Competitiveness Council has drafted a
comprehensive plan to encourage investment & boost the use of technology in Indian
food processing industry. Indian govt. is expected to spend Rs 1,500 crores for
setting up these parks. In cooperation with the food-processing ministry, the
commission has also suggested that a uniform 4% VAT be applicable for processed-food
across the country.

Nevertheless, a lot of objections were raised by the members of the industry in a
meeting held at FICCI (Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) on
December 13, 2006. According to industry members, it’s impossible to implement
a uniform price for all products because taxation policies vary from state to state.
And, this proposal appears to be too difficult to implement, since VAT hasn’t
even been adopted by many states.

As per a Research Analyst’s view at RNCOS, who has recently researched a
report on “Process Food Market - Asia Pacific (2006-2007)”, “The
govt. proposes to establish jumbo food parks in India’s 30 districts. Inputs
will be provided to farmers by the government of India, so that they can produce
goods according to market demands. The govt. also said that that around 50 modern
abattoirs will be set up in a couple of years with the provision to fund viability
gap.”
