123 Kolkata: Food processing company Fort Fit Foods is set to establish two new manufacturing units at Sugandha and Bagnan in Howrah in the next eight months, with an investment of around Rs 15 crore. The company will produce noodles and pasta at these new facilities.
The company has 11 food processing units, including rice and flour mills across the state, according to company director and CEO Rahat Agarwal. "We are also planning to manufacture ice creams in Bengal," he said at an event on Tuesday.
Speaking at the event, Bengal CEO Manoj Agarwal, also former secretary in the state's food and supplies department, focused on the need for food fortification. "Stakeholders in the food processing sector need to come on a single platform with govt bodies. Food fortification is happening on a small scale today," said Agarwal.
