Administrative sanction for food processing park at Kunnukara in Kochi

The government has accorded administrative sanction for the food processing park initiated by the Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (Kinfra) at Kunnukara.

The park will be set up under the mini food park project of the government. Minister for Industries P. Rajeeve said in a communication on Thursday (July 31, 2025) that around 37.8 acres would be acquired for the food processing park in Kunnukara village. The project would be implemented utilising the assistance under the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board, he added.

He said that the park is being set up to extend the benefits of agricultural progress achieved in the Kalamassery Assembly constituency to more persons. The ‘Krishikkoppam Kalamassery’ project has been expanded to more areas. Five value-added products were launched in the market as part of the agriculture project. The third edition of the agri fest held as part of the initiative will begin in August, according to the communication.

“The food processing park will have units based on spices, coconut, fruits, cake and bakery and milk products. The land acquisition process will be speeded up in association with the district administration,” it said.
