In India, so far as production of food-grains, horticultural crops and milk is concerned, Uttar Pradesh occupies a prominent place. In view of a huge market, low production cost, human resource and sufficient availability of raw material. There are ample possibilities for setting up horticulture and food processing based industries in the state. That is why the Uttar Pradesh Government is determined to develop the state as a food park state. In view of production of the abundance of food-grains, horticultural produce, milk and other agricultural produce in different agro-climatic zones of Uttar Pradesh, now it has become all the more pertinent to make available processed food products to the common people by converting the surplus produce into a value added chain. In the backdrop of rather easily available workforce, a large quantity of produce worth processing and immense possibilities of employment generation in the state, the Uttar Pradesh Food Processing Policy- 2017 is required in order to multiplying the well planned development of food processing industry in the state. 1.1 A consistent growth has been noticed in the demand of processed products as a result of changing food habits due to rapid urbanisation, population growth, smaller families, increase in family income and busy life styles. 1.2 Uttar Pradesh is brimming with exciting possibilities of developing the food processing sector, investing capital in the sector, generating employment and increasing income for all stakeholders. 1.3 In sequel of the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Investment and Employment Promotion Policy-2017, the Uttar Pradesh Food Processing Industry Policy-2017 is being promulgated to set up and develop food processing industries and to further augment the current food processing opportunities in the state. 3 | P a g e
