She added, “Foreign food companies would also explore how and with whom they want to partner in India.” Badal said this event will provide a big boost to food processing sector as well as farmers’ income. She said many small, big and multinational companies from the world over will take part in this event. The event will focus on showcasing achievements and opportunities of the Indian food processing sector and fostering maximum investment commitments.
The World Food India is a step aimed at creating India a ‘Global Food Factory’ and ‘Global Food Retail Market’, she said. The government had last year allowed 100 per cent FDI for marketing, including through e-commerce, of food products manufactured and produced in India.
