The projects are expected to strengthen the agricultural value chain while creating modern infrastructure for processing, storage, research and marketing.
Among the largest investment proposals is a Rs.500 crore commitment by Sublime Gourmet of West Bengal for establishing a lemon oil extraction unit. Swadhin of West Bengal has proposed an investment of Rs.200 crore for setting up an Agriculture University, while Virentiatech Pvt.
