Assam is set for a major boost to its food-processing sector as the foundation stone for a Pepsi potato chips factory has been laid, with production expected to begin soon.
The facility will source potatoes locally from 5,000 designated farmers across the state, with a procurement capacity of 70,000 metric tonnes. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma urged farmers to supply locally grown potatoes, reducing dependence on produce from other states.
