The local MP saw immense possibility in development of Amethi as an agricultural hub.
“The thought is that whether its mango, mentha or aonla, whatever is produced in UP, maximum processing is done in Amethi. It should become an agricultural hub,” he said.
The food park is developed by the Aditya Birla Group and Rahul said the group will be investing Rs 200 crore in it.
He said that 50 units will be set up at the park that will provide direct jobs to some 2,500 people, besides giving indirect opportunities to 25,000 others and benefiting as many as 40,000 farmers.
