In this situation, Mega Food Parks<\/a> or integrated food terminals offer solutions<\/a> that are technologically Sound<\/a> and futuristic.<\/p>\n

These facilities have integrated infrastructure such as multi-temperature cold storage, meat and Food Processing<\/a> units, wholesale and retail markets, dry port, export processing zone, skilled training centre for workers, sorting and packing with branding support, so that farmers bringing their produce can use these facilities to sell directly, store for later vend or value add and sell depending on their choice.<\/p>\n
