Assam CM for CFTRI branches A

ssam chief minister Tarun Gogoi inspected various technologies being developed by the Central Food Technological

Research Institute (CFTRI). Speaking to mediapersons at the institute, he said there is a need for lot of branches similar to the institute,

which should be opened across the country. He expressed concern over the slow progress made in food processing and value addition despite massive agricultural produce in the country. Compared to countries such as Thailand and Singapore, who utilise 80 per cent of their agricultural produce in the food processing industry, India is processing only 20 per cent of its produce. Gogoi said there is a need for improvisation of such processing units. He mentioned that youths from his

state were frequently visiting the institute for training in food processing. Gogoi was on his third visit to the city. Earlier, he had visited during his tenure as agriculture minister of Assam and later as Union minister of state for food processing industry. Earlier, CFTRI director G Venkateshwara Rao explained the technology, which is used by Amul to convert milk into skimmed milk powder. Rao showcased the technology for ready-to-eat products being offered by CFTRI.
