All agri universities must start agro entrepreneur’s courses! One of the unsung heroes of the Indian agricultural sector is the minister for food processing, namely, Mr.Subodh Kant Sahay. For one reason or other, he or his ministry is not hitting the news headlines! It is high time he does takes his role seriously and gets all that is within his powers to get his ministry’s work noticed by the public. Why the food processing ministry is not taken notice of? See what his ministry’s potential is. India has over 1.10 billion consumers and there is a fast growing high income earning middle class. There is a largely untapped domestic market of 1,000 million consumers for the food processing sector. 200 million middle class, urban based and otherwise, high income earning workers and professions and they are expected to shift to processed foods in one form or other ,given the fact there is a faster urbanisation of life and lifestyle for these vast millions of consumers.
