Spices Board and Government of Uttarakhand partner to promote spices
This is the first Italian-Indian food park project
Italy has launched its first-ever mega food park project in India involving food processing facilities as the two sides plan to expand ties in the backdrop of PM Narendra Modi’s proposed visit, with the signing of a Letter of Intent between the ICE Office in Mumbai and Fanidhar Mega Food Park, in Gujarat.
Ambassador of Italy to India, Vincenzo de Luca, and the Ambassador of India to Italy, Neena Malothra were part of the launch.
This is the first Italian-Indian food park project, an initiative in the food-processing field, which is a pillar of the partnership between India and Italy as stated at the Summit between the two Prime Ministers held last 6 November.
The project aims to create synergy between agriculture and industry of the two countries and focuses on the research and development of new and more efficient technologies in the sector. With this Italy also aims to explore the great opportunities offered by the Indian market, according to an Italian Govt statement.
