Broad contours of  a typical “ Food Processing Industrial Park are given as follows:

1. LAND REQUIREMENTS FOR CLUSTER OF FACTORIES

Total Land for above projects  =    6.5 acres ( Refer the table below)

Space for internal roads, access & for other infrastructure = 1.5 acres

Total land requirement    =   8.5  + 1.5    = 10 acres

Therefore, it is suggested to develop the food processing cluster on a plot of land comprising minimum 10 acres. The break up of different food processing and the relevant infrastructural facilities are tabulated below as a ready reckenor:
