Idukki will become a hub of marketing value-added spice products in Kerala with the realisation of the Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (Kinfra) Spices Park under the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) at Thudanganad, near Muttom, in Thodupuzha.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the spices park on Saturday.
According to officials, the first phase of the Kinfra park has been set up on 15.29 acres of the State Department of Industries and Commerce at a cost of ₹20 crore. The park will be used for processing and value addition of spices and allied products. The park will market spice oil, food ingredients, spice powder, and other value-added products. It is expected that the park will help the farmers get a competitive and steady price for the spices.
