This has led to developing of food parks in these cities, due to which the plants get access to govt subsidies and are in close proximity to raw materials. Huge opportunity for integrated cold chain setup, food quality control and testing labs, dry warehousing, fruit pulp and concentrates, modernization of food and oilseed milling, food flavours, additives and coloring, milk and poultry processing etc, which has led to the entry of large foreign players who are helping Indian MSMEs with technology transfer and setting up captive units in India pg. 1 www.solutionbuggy.com
