Ministry of Food Processing Industries conducted a study through North-Eastern Regional Agricultural Marketing Corporation Ltd. (NERAMAC) based at Guwahati to assess the scope and potential of food processing industries in the States of Assam, Mizoram and Tripura. The study revealed that the production volumes of various crops in these States currently do not provide the economics of scale for setting up of large food processing industries, except for pineapple. As far as vegetables are concerned, the crops like carrots, peas, tomatoes and ginger offer good scope for processing and value addition, subject to promoting commercial production in these crops.
