Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah inaugurated Falcon Agrifriz’s cutting-edge frozen potato products facility in Kadi, located in Gujarat’s Mehsana district. Developed with an investment of $126.5 million, the plant stands as India’s largest production hub for frozen French fries, potato wedges, hash browns, and nuggets
The newly inaugurated plant is poised to become a catalyst for regional economic growth by generating significant employment opportunities, both directly within the facility and indirectly through its extensive supply chain. By engaging in contract farming, Falcon Agrifriz aims to empower local farmers by providing them with stable income opportunities, access to modern agricultural practices, quality inputs, and assured markets for their produce. This farmer-centric approach aligns with the Government of India’s broader mission to fortify the food processing industry and double farmers’ income, while ensuring the integration of small and marginal growers into formal market systems.
Built with an investment of $126.5 million, the facility is equipped with cutting-edge processing and freezing technology, enabling high-volume production while maintaining global standards for food safety and quality. Special attention has been given to hygiene, waste management, and energy efficiency, ensuring that the plant operates in an environmentally responsible manner. The integration of sustainable practices, such as water recycling systems and energy-saving equipment, underscores Falcon Agrifriz’s commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint.
More than just a production center, the plant represents Falcon Agrifriz’s vision for innovation-driven and responsible manufacturing. Its operational model is designed not only to meet rising domestic demand for processed foods but also to strengthen India’s export capabilities in the global frozen foods market.
This strategic development marks a transformative milestone in India’s food processing journey, reinforcing the nation’s potential as an emerging global hub for high-quality frozen food products. It signals a shift toward value-added agriculture, technological excellence, and inclusive growth—positioning India as a key player on the world stage in the processed food industry.
