Food centers, which incorporate both product storage and food processing, are massive food facilities where food production and storage come together. Different products are collected on a single food platform, processed using modern techniques, and delivered to the table and the economy as value-added products. These centers can be used by local administrations or large enterprises and can additionally create very important sources of extra income. They can be rented to domestic and foreign entrepreneurs and investors. In this way, producers stay close to raw materials, and economic and value-added production is achieved.
