While on the subject of food, let us explore the possibilities of start-up ventures in food processing industries. Several opportunities that immediately attract VCs are available in the developed and developing world. Globally, a shameful US$ 990 billion worth food, especially grains and fresh produce are wasted every year. This is also due to lack of sufficient storage and processing facilities.
Dehydrating fruits and vegetables, canning fish, meat and poultry products and manufacture of condensed and evaporated milk are some industries where lots of investors will readily invest. Licensing for such units is also easily available as the world gears up to combat hunger and malnutrition.
