New cashew processing plant in Ludhiana

New state-of-the-art processing and packaging plant for dry fruits in Ludhiana


Ludhiana: During the first Punjab Agri and Food Conclave organized at Pal Auditorium in Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) on Wednesday, public and private sector enterprises from various food processing industries exhibited their products. State industry minister Sundar Sham Arora visited all the stalls, and appreciated the products manufactured by the industries.

One of the major highlights of the exhibition was a stall put up by Ludhiana-based White Gold Agro Industries, which has set up the first ever dry fruit processing plant in Punjab six months ago, and is currently processing raw and organic cashew into an edible form. The company — owned by young entrepreneur Vinod Jain — has its 45,000 square feet plant at Industrial Area A, and its present production is one tonne per day.
