UAE to Establish Comprehensive Food Park in Kerala

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) will set up a comprehensive food park in Kerala. The UAE has plans to set up a total of three such parks in the country. In a meeting in Thiruvananthapuram on Thursday, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Trade Thani Ahmed Al Zeyoudi has informed Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan his country’s decision to set up the food park in Kerala. The details of the park would be made available later after a discussion with the technical team. As per a memorandum of understanding signed, the UAE Red Crescent had agreed to construct 140 houses for landless and homeless families in Thrissur and hand over the apartments to the state government. It had then contracted the builder directly through officials attached to the UAE Consulate here.
