Press Release Summary = With US and India joining hands for the improvements in food
processing industry in Asia Pacific region, the industry is expected to find out new
avenues of success.

Press Release Body = US and India, in cooperation, are concentrating on advancements
in the field of food processing under an initiative, which was declared during
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to Washington last year (2005). The
partnership, which is called US-India AKI (Agricultural Knowledge Initiative), seeks
to bump up agricultural production, as per Ellen Terpstra, who is the deputy under
secretary with farm & foreign agricultural services.

During its initial three years, this program will focus on developments in
food-processing, biotechnology, marketing, & water management in the country. This
program will help Indian universities to develop services for the extension of
community farm delivered via agricultural universities based programs.

In June 2006, AKI board had selected fifteen contenders from India who will
participate in Norman Borlaug International Agricultural Science and Technology
Fellowship Program. This has brought policy-makers and research scientists from
developing countries to US for pro tem scientific training.

The training program aims to assist those specialists in gaining the knowledge
requisite for the adoption of new farm technologies in their respective countries.
