Goa will host a national seminar on food-processing later this month which is expected work out modalities to boost the sagging agricultural sector in the coastal state.�Goa Chamber of Commerce and Industries (GCCI) along with several government departments have organised the seminar on January 29 which will have think tanks, experts and central government officials, deliberating on the prospects of this industry.
?Development of food processing industry can help in arresting the decline of agriculture in the state and also provide good employment opportunities to local youth,? Sangam Kurade, Chairman, Food Processing Committee, GCCI, told reporters here today.�He said that several food processing units in Goa have to out source the raw material from outside the state borders as it is not available within the state.
?Goa has a firm preparing tomato ketchup but there are no tomatoes growing in the state,? Kurade said giving an example.�As per GCCI figures, Goa has 5,000 small units and 300big time firms in the food processing sector spread across the state.�Kurade said everything right from chocolates, mineral water, soft drinks, sea food products, marine products is processed in the state.�The national seminar is being organised in collaboration with Goa Directorate of Food and Drug administration,Department of Industries, Trade and Commerce, Department of Tourism and Goa Tourism Development Corporation Limited.
