MCCIA has an agri business committee whose objective is to develop food and agri-processing in Pune. According to the official notice about the event, which was sent to FnB News via email by D V Shukla, director, agri business, “There are a lot of opportunities available in the food and agri processing sector.”
“These include new ventures and diversification into a new food and agri processing industry in food parks under the government's industrial policies. The food and agri processing sector needs sufficient finance to expand and execute the food processing projects and new ventures. We are organising the seminar keeping this sector's needs in mind,” it said.
Entry to the seminar, which will be followed by a networking dinner, is free. It is for food business operators (FBOs) and small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) in the food and agri processing sectors.
Likely attendees include owners, proprietors, food technocrats, food and agri processing industry entrepreneurs, chief executive officers (CEOs), chief financial officers (CFOs), managing directors, finance directors, decision-making authorities, and those who wish to diversify into a new food processing venture.
Food technologists, senior officers from Reliance Commercial Finance, food business service providers and so on will speak at the event, and the topics covered will include new venture opportunities and new finance schemes and approval procedures, which Reliance Commercial Finance will present. The food and agri processing industry and FBOs will interact with them.
