Dairy products maker Hatsun Agro Products Ltd, has inaugurated the company's 1,000th Hatsun Daily outlet and has planned to treble the number of its outlets during the next 12 months, to meet the rising demand of its products, a company official said.
The 1,000th outlet, which sells entire range of products by the company, was formally inaugurated by the senior company officials in this city, a company statement said.
"Retail expansion is a key step in meeting the increasing demand for our products and to reach out to new consumers in smaller cities as well.
While we are expanding to new geographies, our Research and Development is completely focused on new product innovations," Hatsun Agro Products Ltd, Marketing and Sales, J Prasanna Venkatesh said.
"Hatsun Daily would continue to grow and become a strong chain of 3,000 outlets in the next 12 months as part of the pan-India expansion programme aiming to reach out to more customers in tier II and III cities," he added.
The company that set up its first outlet in 2014 sells popular milk brand Arokya, curd, paneer, ghee, butter, skimmed milk and dairy whitener.
Recently, it had forayed into frozen food business under the brand 'Oyalo.'
Union Minister for Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal has inaugurated the second mega food park in Uttarakhand, an official statement said.
The Himalayan Mega Food Park Private Ltd with over 50-acre area has been set up at a cost of Rs 99.96 crore and will benefit around 25,000 farmers in this and neighbouring districts, Ministry of Food Processing Industries said in a statement.
Minister of State for Food Processing Industries Sadhvi Niranjan Jyoti and Uttarakhand State Finance Minister Prakash Pant and Transport and Social Welfare Minister Yashpal Arya were also present at the event.
The first Mega Food Park in the state at Haridwar has become functional.
Badal said the mega food park, which has been set up in an area of 50.14 acres, will have a central processing centre as well as well as three Primary Processing Centres (PPCs) at Ram Nagar, Ramgarh, and Kaladungi.
The park will also have facilities for primary processing and storage near the farms and would not only benefit farmers of Udham Singh Nagar but also those of nearby districts - Nainital, Garhwal, Almora, and Champawat.
She said the mega food park will leverage an additional investment of about Rs 250 crore in 25-30 food processing units in the park and would eventually lead to a turnover of about Rs 450-500 crore annually. "The park will also provide direct and indirect employment to 5,000 persons and benefit about 25,000 farmers in the CPC and PPC catchment areas," the minister added.
The food ministry is creating mega food parks with modern infrastructure facilities for food processing along the value chain, from farm to market with strong forward and backward linkages through a cluster-based approach.
The sector will contribute towards doubling farmers' income in the coming years by working to achieve this goal through implementation of projects under the flagship scheme of Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana, Badal added.
