Haryana Food Processing Industry Policy

A. Agro- based, Food Processing and Allied Industry:

1. Haryana has the advantage of being an agrarian state with abundant fertile land. It is a major contributor to the national food-grains pool. Apart from its own base for production of vegetables and fruits (perishable commodities), the State constitutes the route for transportation of fruit from J&K and Himachal Pradesh. Home to the Murrah Buffalo, the state has a good base for production of milk and holds the potential for growth of milk and dairy based industry. It enjoys the locational advantage of its proximity to one of the largest consumer markets of Delhi and the adjoining urban agglomerations. As such, the state offers a huge potential for the establishment of agro-based and food processing industry. This not only includes the manufacturing of value added products but also the associated service industry of provision of cold chain, storage, grading & sorting, segregation and packaging of the vegetable and fruit products for ultimate supply to the consumer market.

2. Keeping the above in view, steps have been taken to strengthen the infrastructure to facilitate growth of this sector. Food Parks at Rai (Sonepat) and Saha (Ambala) have been developed by the HSIIDC and industrial plots have been allotted to the food processing industries. The HSIIDC would continue to provide developed industrial space in its industrial estates, including development of specialized estates, for this purpose. Developed industrial plots will be allotted in the industrial estates for the manufacturing units, cold chain warehousing and logistics facilities for this purpose.

3. Further, in order to facilitate capacity building and cater to the needs of skill development for this sector, the HSIIDC has allotted 100 acre of land at Kundli (Sonepat) for the establishment of National Institute of Food Technology, Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM), being set up by the Ministry of Food Processing, Government of India. The institute would be one of the premier institutions for imparting training and offering courses in the field of food technology and other management streams.
