Taste Bagalkot wine this winter
Move over instant idli and dosa. Bagalkot is set to go tipsy with wine and smack its lips to garlic pickle.
Three of the six agro-food parks that aim to revolutionise urban and rural food habits will roll out products.
Bagalkot will go tipsy with wine and smack its lips to garlic pickle. By February, they will be joined by the unknown Jewargi dal turned into bajjis and baby food. Despite the delay of over an year, euphoria is palpable.
But officials admit the problem was bureaucratic and not the market or political will. "The biggest issue was land allocation.
It took time because of litigations," special purpose vehicle Food Karnataka Limited managing director,V S Somnath said. Lack of bureaucratic interest in the project has been astonishing.
Despite figures of a potential market of Rs 50,000 crore ��� given by Kalam ��� the sector has not been driven. "An agri-food policy with incentives and concessions was announced.
But not implemented," rued private promoter for Hiriyur and Jewargi parks, R Prakash. A case in point is Maddur park,which is awaiting land allocation.
The Gangreli park in Belgaum is on the back burner because "cost of land escalated beyond the park's viability" due to government inaction.
Still, along the lines of the IT revolution, the private sector seems preparing to take over agri-food. Private deals in gherkins and rose onions with exporters in Malaysia and Sri Lanka is keeping the sector soaring.
By December, the domestic market in Bangalore will feel the impact of Karnataka's pioneering agro-processing industry.
The food parks will send in their products, patented and branded with the park's name, aiming to give international agri-foods a run for their money.
