We have been practicing food processing since ages and it happens to be a way of life in India, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi while inaugurating World Food India 2017 in New Delhi. "Simple, home-based techniques, such as fermentation, have resulted in the creation of our famous pickles, papads, chutneys and murabbas that excite both the elite and the masses across the world," he said.
Talking about the World Bank's recent report on the ease of doing business Modi said: "India has jumped 30 ranks this year in the World Bank Doing Business rankings. India was ranked number one in the world in 2016 in greenfield investment. India is also rapidly progressing on the Global Innovation Index, Global Logistics Index and Global Competitiveness Index".
Prime Minister claimed that farmers are central to the government's efforts to improve food processing process in India. "We launched the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana to create world-class food processing infrastructure. This will leverage the investment of US $5 billion, benefiting 2 million farmers and create more than half million jobs," Modi said.
While recognising the increase in private sector participation in many segments of the value chain, he highlighted that many sectors need a lot more attention. "More investment is required in contract farming, raw material sourcing and creating agri linkages. This is a clear opportunity for global chains," PM said.
Prime Minister highlighted the nutritional value of our coarse gain and the advantages that come with it. "Food processing holds solutions to nutrition security. Our coarse grains & millets have high nutritional value. They can withstand adverse agro-climatic conditions. Can we take up a venture based on these? This will raise incomes of farmers & also enhance nutrition levels" Prime Minister said.
