Food Karnataka Ltd

Karnataka the new destination for Food Processing Industries

PRESENT SCENARIO

FKLs OBJECTIVES

Indian Food Processing Industry is on the verge of a great

transformation from a low level of processing and a low level
of share in the global trade to one that is likely to define the
global trade in a few decades. The country has a vast and
diverse supply base and also the demand to absorb the supply.
It has been observed that employment potential of the food
processing sector is much higher than the other sectors. The
availability of affordable labour puts india in an enviable
position to produce a wide variety of food and commercial
crops for domestic consumption as well as exports.
