giants PepsiCo and Coca-Cola should help augment fruit sales for Indian
farmers by adding fresh fruit juices to their fizzy drinks. "Millions
of people buy Pepsi and Coke. I have asked these companies if they can
put five per cent natural juice in their drinks," Modi said on
Wednesday in Karnataka. "If they can, then our farmers will make a lot
of money. Our farmers will not have to throw their fruit away," he said
after inaugurating a food park with a storage capacity of more than
20,000 tonnes for two dozen food processing companies. Modi's food
processing minister said last month that PepsiCo should reduce the
sugar content of its beverages, and asked the company to partner with
the government to develop nutritious processed food for school students.
