The park was inaugurated by Acharya Balkrishna, who emphasized the importance of the agricultural revolution and its potential to bring prosperity to farmers across the nation. The plant, which is one of Asia’s largest single-point food processing units, will have a processing capacity of 800 tons per day. Not only will it handle A-grade oranges but also process B and C-grade oranges, pre-mature produce, and fruits damaged by storms.
The plant is equipped with a zero-wastage system, which ensures that by-products are utilized and nothing is scrapped off or goes to waste.
