The Karnataka government has now firmed up its plans to set up a dedicated wine park at Bijapur in the northern part of the state. An area of 150 acres has been earmarked for the project. The details of investment were disclosed. “An integrated wine park will boost the grape processing efforts for the research and production of wine,” Umesh Katti, Minister for Agriculture, Govt of Karnataka, told FnB News.
“The state government has already allocated around 140 acres at Toravi village in Bijapur district and the region in the Krishna river basin is known for seedless grape cultivation. Now the project will be under the supervision of the Karnataka Wine Board (KWB),” Katti informed. He added that the park would be set up under a public-private partnership model. Tenders would be floated and applications will be called from the private sector. In addition, efforts are also on to appoint an advisor to the project. The Karnataka Wine Board, which is a state government initiative, will oversee the project development.
