With the Government of Assam allotting another plot of 400 sq feet at Nalbari, the company has developed a food park there.
The company is planning to open site plants and marketing units in different States of the NE region.
It was in line with this plan that a marketing unit was opened at Ko- hima yesterday.
Speaking at the Kohima function yesterday, Chief Secretary Alem Temshi Jamir said that the Kangla Food Products' marketing at Kohima would help in bringing Manipur and Nagaland closer not only in terms of trade and commerce but also people to people contact.
Nagaland cannot live without Manipur and the same is true for Manipur.
The two neighbouring states should strive together for economic development leaving aside political differences and contradictions.
Speaking about Nagaland, the Chief Secretary that around five lakhs youngsters are learning in different colleges and universities but the Nagaland Government has no capacity to provide jobs to all of them.
As such, the Government need to set up agro-based industries so that the youngsters can be made self-employed.
He also hailed the efforts and achievements of Kangla Food Products Private Limited.
