He said this while speaking at the book launch ceremony of Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana (SSS) leader Sadabhau Khot.
“The state government has already announced the setting up of an Integrated Textile Park in Amravati and recently Raymond has declared its intention to do the same. It will help in generating more employment opportunities,” said Fadnavis.
Fadnavis said that although the state produces 31 per cent of total cotton produced in the country, only 25 per cent is processed and treated. Processing of agricultural produce, he said, allows more economic strength to the farmers.
