Minister Directs Acceleration of Buggapadu Mega Food Park
A big food park in Buggapadu is being built to help farmers and create jobs.
The minister in charge, Tummala Nageswara Rao, wants the work to speed up so it can be ready by Sankranti.
The park has special areas for processing food and has already given land to some companies.
One company is investing a lot of money and will create many jobs.
The park is in a good place with roads, trains, and ports nearby.
The minister says this park will help a lot of people in the area.
Agriculture minister Tummala Nageswara Rao directed officials to accelerate the Buggapadu mega food park project.
The 60-acre park, approved under the PM KUSUM scheme, aims to boost agriculture and related sectors.
Two core processing centres and primary processing centres have been completed, with plots allotted to companies like Gorlas Green Farms and Infinity Industries.
Deepak Next Gen Aqua Projects has invested ₹615 crore, expected to generate 3,200 jobs.
The project, initiated in 2016, was revived after being stalled for nine years.
