Sukhbir invited Polish investors to establish small food and fruit processing units in Punjab, a spokesman said at a business seminar organised by the Indo-Polish Chamber of Commerce at the agriculture ministry in Warsaw.

The official gave details on how the advances made by Polish companies in agriculture could be put to good use, for example accepting a proposal by Polish Deputy Minister for Agriculture Tadeusz Nalewajk for joint cooperation in the sector. “This would raise income levels in the farm sector in both the countries,” the spokesman said.

Sukhbir also invited Poland to become one of the partners in the upcoming Invest Punjab summit being held in Chandigarh at the end of October.

Nalewajk said Poland had developed “an extremely high-quality farming system suited for small family farms that would be suitable for Punjab farmers as well.”

Deputy Economy Minister Arkadiusz Bak said Poland was keen to boost trade relations with India and there was “great scope of economic cooperation between the two countries.”

Polish foreign investment department director Ilona Chojnowsla highlighted how Poland's economy had been boosted with the creation of 14 SEZs and how Polish investors were expanding their businesses overseas. Representatives of more than 20 Polish companies were also present on the occasion.

Invest Punjab chief executive officer Anirudh Tewari, accompanying the deputy CM, gave an overview of investment in Punjab and the steps being taken to facilitate new investment. Two businessmen who are part of the Punjab government team -- Bhavdeep Sardana of Sukhjit Starch and Anoop Bector of Bector Food provided a perspective of the investment climate for prospective Polish entrepreneurs.
