The designated space will serve as a platform for producing ketchup, mayonnaise, tomatoes, and bread derivatives. Such ventures align with IFFCO’s strategic expansion plans within the food industries sector. This initiative is seamlessly integrated into the broader framework of the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP), emphasizing the creation of “food clusters.”
