**Kerala Greenlights Food Processing Park to Boost Agriculture in Kalamassery**

**KOCHI, August 1, 2025** – The Kerala government has officially sanctioned the development of a food processing park in Kunnukara, aiming to capitalize on agricultural advancements in the Kalamassery Assembly constituency. The project, spearheaded by the Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (Kinfra), will be funded through the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board.

Minister for Industries P. Rajeeve announced on Thursday that approximately 37.8 acres of land will be acquired for the food processing park. The park, operating under the government’s mini food park project, is designed to expand the benefits of the successful ‘Krishikkoppam Kalamassery’ initiative to a wider population. This initiative has already seen the launch of five value-added agricultural products.

“The food processing park will house units specializing in spices, coconut, fruits, cake and bakery products, and milk products,” Minister Rajeeve stated. “We are committed to expediting the land acquisition process in collaboration with the district administration.”

The project builds on the momentum of the ‘Krishikkoppam Kalamassery’ initiative, which is also preparing to host its third annual agri-fest in August. The food processing park is expected to further stimulate economic growth and create opportunities within the agricultural sector of the region.

The park represents a significant investment in Kerala’s agricultural infrastructure and a commitment to adding value to locally grown produce.
