It will be the Asia’s largest single-point food processing unit. The food park is equipped with advanced packaging lines and cutting-edge research laboratories adhering to modern industry standards. It is expected to provide employment opportunities to locals and boost the prosperity of nearby farmers. Patanjali’s priority is to provide high-quality products. The processing plant having state-of-the-art facilities will be ideal for extracting juice from oranges, carrots, aloe vera, pomegranates, guavas, etc.

 

It will also have a facility for making mango pulp. The plant will utilise a zerowaste system, processing not just A-grade oranges but also B and C-grade ones, as well as premature produce and oranges damaged by storms. The plant will generate various by-products, including volatile and fragrance oils from orange peels.
