Mr Gupta added, "In this process Agro & Food Processing Equipment & Technology Providers Association of India (AFTPAI) was formed in 2009, to represent entire allied sectors of the food processing industry in India. Majority of members belongs to food processing & packaging machinery, suppliers, manufacturers and technology providers. It also has members from packaging material, food ingredients, cold chain, automation and other related sectors."
Firoz H Naqvi, Secretary AFTPAI said, "However during some of the discussions in small groups it was felt that there is a need for a common forum for discussing the various issues relating to our industry and also to interact with the Governmental authorities and other related agencies to further the cause of the food processing industry and its players."
