Abstract

Agro industry has historically been given high priority in Indian Policy of development programmes. The focus on agro-industry as an agent of rural development and employment generation was present in Mahatma Gandhi's emphasis on village-based agro-industry during India's independence movement and is today a central component of the national development plan. There is optimism concerning its continuing development. The FAIDA report of the confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and Mackinsey & company (1997) both show that there is great potential for development of food processing and other agro-industries in India.
