The AP Chambers requested the immediate release of the long pending incentive dues to the food processing units that are already in a difficult situation due to the pandemic and the rise in production costs. The Minister assured the delegation that all the pending incentives will be released soon to the food processing units.
Later, the delegation also met Secretary to Government (Food Processing), Industries and Commerce Department Chiranjiv Choudhary and discussed the issues faced by the Food Processing sector. Responding positively, Chiranjiv Choudhary assured that the government will address the issues soon. He also said that the government will constitute a State-level consultative committee that will have frequent interactions with the industry associations to sort out the issues faced by the industry.

In a letter to Minister for Agriculture and Food Processing Kakani Govardhan Reddy, Bhaskar Rao wanted to inform that the incentives pertaining to the food processing sector were not released at that time.
