Scotland-based Nature & Herbs is one of several private companies, which have decided to invest in the Patanjali Food and Herbal Park in Haridwar.
The food park located in the Northern state of Uttarakhand is expected to be fully operational from August this year and is one of the 10 mega food parks being set up by the Mofpi to boost the country’s food processing industry.
The 95 acre park, which has been built at a cost of Rs 5 billion, will have 32 processing units for fruits and vegetables and delivering value added products such as juice, pulp, puree, confectionery, pickles and herbal products.
Nature & Herbs, which has its headquarters in Glasgow, was founded in 2007 by Arti Poddar.
The food park which will create 20,000 jobs initially will also provide a gate to plate supply chain system and state-of-the-art infrastructure designed to reduce wastage at farm level and increase value added products from perishables such as fruits and vegetables.
