Publisher's Synopsis
Food is a basic necessity for survival and, increasingly, much of the food consumed today require some form of processing ( (Adelaja et al., 2000). Therefore, the importance of food processing activities to any economy is a national phenomenon (Adelaja et al., 2000). The strategic significance of the food processing industry cannot be denied in the far-reaching development of the Indian economy in general and Gujarat in particular. To a greater extent, the food processing industry in Gujarat is considered a potential source for driving the economy of Gujarat. It is a leading state with magnificent agriculture performance contributing about 10% to the country's GDP.
